Brand Profile
Ostara Medical
Ostara Medical, licensed since 2022, holds standard licenses for cultivation, processing, and sale for medical purposes. The brand operates under the names Ostara Medical and Ostara, guided by a philosophy to provide excellence in every bud. Its operation features small-scale grow rooms where a range of genetic varieties are cultivated to meet the tastes of discerning consumers. Ostara is renowned for its signature strains, Bazookas and Gas Cake, and is continuously phenohunting to expand its selection with six distinct upcoming strains.
Ostara’s uniqueness stems from its rigorous phenohunting process, ensuring each strain is not only distinct but also of high quality from seed to sale. The company caters to both recreational and medical markets in Canada, with international outreach including exports to Germany, the UK, and Australia. With nine full-time employees, Ostara operates a 10,000 square foot facility that includes about 5,000 square feet of vertical canopy space, where plants thrive under state-of-the-art LED lighting and are cultivated in coco, each hand-tended to perfection.
Technical innovations at Ostara include the use of LED lights placed underneath the plants to enhance bud size at lower plant levels. The brand prides itself on GACP certification, emphasizing its commitment to craft cannabis quality. The cultivation process is supported by FloraFlex nutrients and LED lighting from Futur Vert and Rayon Led. Post-harvest, plants are hung to dry for 10 to 14 days, followed by a meticulous hand-trimming process, and buds are cured for three to six weeks to ensure premium quality.
Key staff members include Philippe, who manages sales, marketing, and partnerships; Timmy, the genetic master and production manager; and Serge Ouimet, the master grower, who ensures seamless operations throughout the cultivation rooms. Their collective expertise and dedication underscore Ostara’s commitment to crafting exceptional cannabis products.
