Dear Meph-Heads!
Wow! Can’t believe we’re writing this, but early October marks the date where 10 years ago we packed our bags, took our seed stash, popped some cuttings in the post and jumped ship to move to Spain and get our Mephisto adventure underway!
10 years!!! It’s madness really - Time has ABSOLUTELY flown by.
Two knuckle heads and a student overdraft account got us started, and in that time one of us got married to a stellar lady, the other has definitely grown into their body , lots of life events good and bad, animals came and went, farms have come and gone but we’ve had Mephisto throughout.
(To have an insight into the early days check out the Mitch’s auto adventure thread – Mitch's Auto Adventure)
We’ve met some amazing people along the way, and we’ve put our hearts and souls, literal blood, sweat and tears into grinding out an existence in this crazy industry.
It’s definitely not a stress-free occupation and has certainly been a tumultuous ride! But really, thanks to every single person who has supported us over the last 10 years. You’ve helped us live out our dreams, put food in the fridge, and kept the electricity on in troublesome times. And this now counts even more so, as we’ve greatly expanded our team and are even more dependent on the Mephisto community.
Starting small we never had enough money to pour into our marketing, so our growth over these years has been purely organic. Based on word of mouth, doing our very best to put out fire genetics and deliver the best customer experience we could.
So, to mark this momentous occasion, we’ve been working on a bunch of stuff to commemorate it! To pay homage to some of our earliest work, we will be bringing back several older strains to give everyone a chance to sample some MG classics. Including Originals, older Illuminautos brought back as Limited’s, and fresh round Illuminautos to boot. This release of heritage strains is the build up to next years huge release of new strains.
There are several new merch items coming as well!! We’ve teamed up with Santa Cruz Shredders to make a high-quality custom MG grinder. Along with the grinder, we will be releasing a limited run Mephisto engraved stash box.
The “Mephisto Anniversary” image on the inside of our new shipping boxes will be released as a t-shirt, made with 100% recycled cotton, sourced in the US, and printed by our new but experienced in house printer! This anniversary graphic is a little tapestry rich with mini-MG Easter Eggs from our decade history as a company. The shipping boxes will also be utilized for a coloring competition, stay tunned for a detailed post on how you can participate and prize details.
So yeah, just to re-iterate!
A big thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years!
Let’s fucking grow! And cheers to the next 10 years!
Much love, the Mephisto Crew.
