The local connection predates the storefront. According to the Lowell Sun, Kaltsas owned Dracut Auto Butler and Niarhos was a longtime dentist in town when they formed BKPN. A March 2022 Cannabis Control Commission record says BKPN’s provisional licensure had been approved on July 9, 2020, and that applicable license fees had been paid. The paper described the resulting division of work plainly: Nova Farms handled day-to-day operations, while the two Dracut partners had done much of the work required to bring the venture to that point. Together, those details make the name over the door only part of the story: the project began with Kaltsas and Niarhos, while Nova Farms supplied the operating role.
