A family-owned marijuana growing business in Uxbridge is on track to become the first microbusiness to open in Massachusetts.

Gibby’s Gardens received its final license from the Cannabis Control Commission in a unanimous vote Thursday. It is the first microbusiness — a designation given to small businesses run by Massachusetts residents — to be given a final license.

Owner Kimberly Gibson said the family is tired, very excited and “ready to get growing.”

“We’re ecstatic,” said her husband and the company’s manager, Fred Gibson. “It’s been a heck of a run.”

The Gibsons said they are ready to start planting within days, as soon as they get their final inspection and approval from state regulators.

Gibby’s Gardens is run by Kimberly and Fred Gibson, with their son Joseph as the head cultivator.

The family are Uxbridge residents who first approached the town’s select board two years ago with their proposal to grow marijuana.

Kimberly Gibson is a builder who designs and builds data centers. Fred Gibson is a nurse who has his own podiatry business. They have been growing herbs in their medicinal garden for decades. Both have continued to work their day jobs while starting Gibby’s Gardens.

Joseph Gibson left a job in manufacturing to work in cannabis full-time, attending the Northeastern Institute of Cannabis in Natick before it closed, and traveling to Colorado and Oregon to study the industry. He hopes to buy his parents out when they are ready to retire so “I can have a job for rest of my life.”

Gibby’s Gardens will initially focus on growing marijuana and selling it to retailers and manufacturers around Massachusetts. It is starting with 1,500 square feet of canopy, with a license to expand up to 5,000 square feet.

Joseph Gibson said they will use all LED lighting, and are vertically tiering plants so there will be a lot of plants in a small space. Kimberly Gibson said everything will be hand-trimmed, and the business will not rush the drying process.

“We want it to be the micro-bud of the industry, higher quality, higher cost,” Kimberly Gibson said.

Eventually, the business will manufacture products, likely starting with medicinal tinctures.

Gibby’s Gardens is only the second female-owned business licensed by the Cannabis Control Commission, after Caroline’s Cannabis, an independent marijuana retailer also in Uxbridge.

Kimberly Gibson said for their company, the biggest challenge was funding. They raised money from friends and family three separate times. They have invested just under $1 million so far.

“There’s no deep pocket corporation behind us,” she said. “We’ve done it all ourselves. So this long drawn-out process has been the challenge, holding onto our money and spending it in little pieces and constantly looking for more.”
