The two products approved for sale will be available online, not in the brick-and-mortar locations. SoHum Living Soils is a potting soil designed primarily for cannabis but can be used for other vegetation. “Dr. Marijane Root Probiotic is a soil additive.
“ACC is excited to have the opportunity to offer our products online through these major retailers. We are especially excited to be selling our proprietary SoHum Living Soils potting mix through these online channels, as we have spent years perfecting our blend, and fine-tuning the messaging around the brand itself,” CEO Terry Buffalo said in a statement.

According to Buffalo, his company will continue to evaluate other online retail platforms to sell its product line.
