About the Company:

We are Fine Fettle, and we are growing to bring important medication to the patients of Georgia. We would love to hear from you!

Fine Fettle is a locally owned, multi-state cannabis company that is expanding into Georgia! Our mission is to create comfort in cannabis by providing a superior, customized cannabis experience and great products to help enable customers and patients to realize cannabis' full potential to improve their lives. To make this happen, we are looking for like-minded employees to assist us in continuing this incredible journey.

Fine Fettle was given a Notice of Intent to Award a license in Georgia, which allows Fine Fettle to produce low-THC oil for patients to obtain from licensed dispensaries. Our state of the art 118,000 square foot cultivation, processing, and manufacturing facility in Macon-Bibb County is currently under construction and will be an industry standard facility in the country. We also plan to open five dispensaries around Georgia later this year, with the opportunity to build more as patients of Georgia expand.
