Canna-Business Profiles

Mark Savaya has created a Michigan cannabis company unlike any other - how many people have their own brand-label cannabis? Yes, there is the Mark Savaya Collection, a hybrid-strain that he bred himself and is only available at Leaf & Bud, a growing number of Michigan-area centers offering both medical and recreational cannabis.

As co-founder and CEO of Future Grow Solutions, Savaya directs a Henry Fordlike integrated system for medical and recreational marijuana products.

“Future Grow Solutions is a Michiganbased company and was created to help the cannabis industry maximize their profits and produce exceptional products,” Savaya said. “With the constant changing of the laws and technology, our team at Future Grow Solutions help our clients with consulting in all aspects of the cannabis industry.”

Savaya and his team recently introduced Leaf & Bud Provisioning Center as a way to sell what they produce in their Detroit and Center Line facilities. “It was an outgrowth of Future Grow Solutions,” he says. “Our Leaf & Bud brand uses only premium nutrients and we handcraft all our own batches of edibles, concentrates, topicals, oils, and additional products.”

“It has been an incredible journey to bring Leaf & Bud to the Detroit community,” Savaya said. “I like to think I have put a lot of thought into the buying experience. Our locations are sleek, inviting, state-of-the-art, and futuristic in design. Our cannabis consultants are knowledgeable about our products and take time to understand customer needs and requests — whether medical or recreational.”

Savaya, who oversees multiple cannabis complexes across the state in various stages of development, has spent 16 years cultivating an ambitious and enterprising cannabis growth and retail business. He brings his many years of experience as a successful start-up business investor and daily operations manager to Michigan’s medicinal and recreational marijuana market. Under his leadership, Future Grow Solutions has revolutionized the way cannabis is grown and harvested.

“Our indoor grow facilities allow us to produce more than 50 different strains indoors using soil organic growth,” he says. “This method produces high-yield crops to meet consumer demand.

“We specialize in exotic, quality products. The technology that we are employing is truly state-of-the-art, economical, and environmentally friendly. Our computer management systems monitor and manage every key aspect of our grow rooms to ensure optimum outcomes.”

Savaya expects - and is excited - to see Leaf & Bud continue to grow along with the high demand and medical need for cannabis products in Michigan. He has truly found his passion in helping others and making a positive impact in his community and beyond.

“It’s not work if you love what you do,” he says. “I get very excited when I can help growers and investors in all that is involved with the cannabis business, including securing real estate, finding finances, establishing a reliable security system, ensuring compliance, and helping to recruit the right talent.

“In addition to overseeing the daily operation of training and support of the grow operations, I am able to grow my business close to home by opening more Leaf & Bud locations and selling our quality products.”
