Brian Kirkland and Jake Tracy started at Bedford Grow about three years ago without any experience. Kirkland was a butcher, and Tracy was in landscaping. Like all new employees at the facility, they started as trimmers, and have since worked their way up. For the past two harvests — or about six months — Kirkland and Tracy, now assistant cultivators, have each been in charge of the crop in one of Bedford Grow’s four grow rooms.
