Community and Culture

Committed to Our Community, Committed to Our Planet

At Fine Fettle, we are committed to doing good and to going above and beyond. That means active involvement in our community and state, and stewardship of the planet and humanity. The commitment to making the world a better place spans across Fine Fettle.

Central to our mission is righting the wrongs caused by the War on Drugs: We believe that social equity and justice must be at the center of the industry’s focus.

We also believe in the importance of making an impact through cultural commitment. As part of our benefits package, we grant every single employee paid volunteer days to do things that matter to them. It’s directly related to one of our core values: cherishing our people and our local communities.

That commitment starts at the top. Our leadership teams sit on boards, donate dollars and time, and take active roles in mentorship programs across the cannabis supply chain. We join the Chambers of Commerce in the communities we serve, support our local universities, work with area addiction services, and help educate and serve those in our towns.
