Vermont Roster Flags Awella Gardens Cultivator License as Inactive
State roster lists Awella Gardens as no longer active, part of a wave of Vermont cannabis license closures logged this week.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Awella Gardens' cannabis license is no longer listed as active in Vermont, according to the state license roster, as first reported by State license roster.
The closure adds to a cluster of similar filings logged across Vermont in recent days. Related roster updates from August 6-8 show at least a dozen other operators — including Green Mountain Gold Farm, Montwood Hollow, Trombly House of Cannabis, Green Mountain Scientific, Vail Farm Cannabis, Hyde Park Headies, Common Weal Cannabis, Ninny Goat & Co., Magic Mann Cultivation & Processing, RootLand Cannabis, and Sweetspot Vermont — also marked as no longer active over the same window, suggesting a broader batch update to the state's licensing database rather than an isolated event.
Notably, the official license record for the company still lists an entry for Awella Gardens as a Cultivator, license number SCLT0327, with status "Active." The discrepancy between that record and the roster's closure listing is unresolved in available data and may reflect a timing lag between when a status change is recorded and when the underlying license file is updated.
The numbers
Vermont's adult-use market currently counts 302 open cultivation licenses, 107 open retail licenses, 88 open manufacturing licenses, and 2 open labs, per state stats. Against that base of several hundred cultivation permits, a single grower's closure represents a small fraction of total licensed capacity, though the concurrent appearance of multiple cultivation-linked closures in the same roster batch could point to a more active turnover period in that license category.
State monthly sales figures show Vermont's adult-use market generating roughly $13 million in sales in May 2026, with monthly totals holding in a narrow band between about $12.1 million and $13.3 million since December 2025. The stats snapshot lists year-to-date state revenue as unreported (rev_ytd_musd: 0), and no pending applications are currently logged.
What to watch next
Whether the roster's active-license discrepancy for Awella Gardens is corrected, and whether the broader cluster of closures logged this week in Vermont reflects routine license lapses, consolidation, or a systemic update to the roster, are not clarified in available records. Subsequent roster updates may indicate whether cultivation license counts in the state adjust downward in response to this batch of closures.
