Pine Grove Gardens LLC cultivator license inactive in Vermont
Vermont cannabis cultivator joins dozen-plus operators losing active status in early August amid ongoing market volatility.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Pine Grove Gardens LLC, a Vermont cultivator licensed under permit SCLT0331, is no longer active according to state license records. The closure was recorded on August 14, following a cluster of license deactivations across the state's cultivation, retail, and manufacturing sectors between August 8–14.
At least eleven other licensed operators—including Sunkissed Farm Inc., Bern Living Organics LLC, and SEVEN PEAKS LLC—lost active status during the same period, per the state license roster. The timing suggests possible systemic pressure on Vermont's adult-use market, which reported roughly $13.3 million in sales through May 2026.
The wave of closures comes as Vermont cannabis operations operate under regulatory scrutiny, including recent federal hemp definition shifts that VTDigger reported may affect state compliance. With 298 cultivation licenses still open and 107 retail locations active, the market remains sizable, but the pace of deactivations warrants monitoring for broader operator viability trends.
