Genesis Farms license deactivated in South Dakota amid wave of closures
State license roster shows Genesis Farms license no longer active; 12 other operators deactivated same day.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Genesis Farms' license status shifted to inactive on August 6, according to South Dakota's state license roster. The closure comes as part of a broader deactivation wave: 12 other cannabis operators—including multiple Royzzz locations, Dakota Health and Wellness, and Superior Buds—all lost active status the same day.
Official license records indicate Genesis Farms operates five separate medical cannabis cultivation licenses across Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Mitchell, and Pierre, all currently listed as active. The discrepancy between the roster deactivation and the active cultivation records warrants clarification on whether the reported closure applies to one facility or signals a broader change in operational status.
South Dakota's medical market currently supports 52 retail, 30 cultivation, and 14 manufacturing licensees. Watch for state regulatory guidance on the closure cluster and whether it reflects compliance actions, voluntary surrenders, or administrative changes in license verification procedures.
