Genesis Farms license inactive in South Dakota; 12 operators lose licenses same day
State license roster shows Genesis Farms license no longer active, part of a wave of 12 closures recorded on Aug. 6.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Genesis Farms has lost at least one active license in South Dakota, according to the state license roster updated Aug. 6. The closure was one of 12 recorded the same day—a cluster that included multi-location operators like Royzzz (three locations) and standalone retailers including The Broken Boot Dispensary and Superior Buds.
Official records show Genesis Farms operates five separate medical cannabis cultivation licenses across Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Mitchell, and Pierre, all currently listed as active. The specific license that became inactive was not detailed in the state roster, leaving unclear whether one cultivation site or a non-cultivation operation was affected.
The mass closure on a single day suggests either a regulatory enforcement action, a batch processing of voluntary surrenders, or a reporting lag correction. The state maintains 52 open retail locations and 30 active cultivation licenses overall. Tracking whether Genesis Farms' remaining licenses remain operational will clarify the scope of any broader transition.
