Indigrow

Indigrow was founded by husband-and-wife team Karen and Steven Kekelik, who launched Muskegon's first cannabis microbusiness in 2022. The name "Indigrow" combines "independent grow" with the color indigo, often associated with cannabis, while their diamond logo represents both their concentrate offerings and unwavering quality standards.The company received its cultivation and production license in April 2022, with their retail space opening later that year. They carefully renovated a 114-year-old manufacturing warehouse in downtown Muskegon, preserving the building's historic brick while creating a modern cannabis facility that honors the city's industrial heritage.As one of only 11 licensed cannabis microbusinesses in Michigan at the time of opening, Indigrow pioneered this unique business model in the state. In 2023, they opened West Michigan's first outdoor cannabis lounge, further establishing their role as industry innovators. The company was founded during the pandemic amid significant family changes, demonstrating their resilience and commitment to creating positive outcomes during challenging times.

Indigrow operates as a fully vertically-integrated cannabis microbusiness in downtown Muskegon, Michigan, handling everything from cultivation to retail sales under one roof. Licensed to cultivate up to 150 plants, they focus exclusively on small-batch craft cannabis, growing, processing, and selling only their own products.Their product lineup includes premium flower featuring landrace strains, concentrates, edibles, and vape products, all produced in-house with sustainable and organic growing practices. Popular strains include Pakistani Chitral Kush, African Frost, and Kwazulu, alongside house favorites like Blueberry and Prism Kush.Indigrow offers unique experiences including cannabis flights (similar to beer tastings) and educational facility tours led by experienced staff. They also operate West Michigan's first outdoor cannabis lounge, providing a safe, discreet space for responsible consumption. The team includes Dr. Paul Lomeo, a local surgeon with 30+ years of experience, attorney Karen Kekelik, and master grower Scott Russo, a former caregiver bringing artisanal cultivation expertise to the commercial market.

Indigrow's mission centers on bringing caregiver-quality, craft-style cannabis cultivation to the commercial market while honoring the caregivers who laid the foundation for Michigan's cannabis industry. They prioritize quality over quantity, believing that small-batch, artisanal approaches produce superior cannabis experiences for customers.The company is committed to transparency in an industry they believe has lost its way in pursuit of profit, focusing instead on what benefits customers most. They aim to challenge the cannabis industry toward higher, more reliable standards while leading microbusiness advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels.Community engagement drives their operations, with commitments to partner exclusively with local nonprofits and contribute directly to Muskegon's development. Their vision extends beyond business success to helping customers live more fulfilling lives through access to consistent, safe, and reliable cannabis products.
