Two Rivers Completes Another Capital Raise for GrowCo

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Jan 6, 2016) - Two Rivers Water & Farming Company (OTCQB: TURV) ("Two Rivers") announced today that it has completed another raise of $5.5 million in capital to support GrowCo, Inc. ("GrowCo"), a majority owned subsidiary of Two Rivers that is focused on the construction of cannabis greenhouses and providing financing and administrative services to the tenants of the greenhouses.

Proceeds from the $5.5 million raise will be used for completing the first greenhouse, the construction of a second greenhouse and the funding of a GrowCo subsidiary that provides administrative services and financing for GrowCo's greenhouse tenants.

John McKowen, CEO of Two Rivers and GrowCo, stated, "This raise represents another milestone for GrowCo. We're able to match up the best cannabis growing skill sets with our state-of-the art greenhouses and provide the grower with financing for their initial crop inputs. This allows our growers to provide licensed cannabis retailers with the highest quality, pesticide free, lowest cost cannabis products in Colorado. It's a win for the consumer and a win for the small cannabis retailer."

Two Rivers owns approximately 50% of each greenhouse and 50% of GrowCo's tenant financing and services company.
