Big Sky Ranch Holdings LLC, which held active New York adult-use cultivator, distributor, and processor licenses, has been marked inactive on the state license roster as of September 4, according to official records. The company operated under three distinct license types—OCM-CULT-24-000078, OCM-DIST-24-000057, and OCM-PROC-24-000025—all previously showing active status.

The closure occurred amid a broader roster update on September 4 that included five other license inactivations (Juniper NY LLC, Heartbeat Lyfe LLC, Hudson Valley Canna LLC, Java Sprouts LLC, and Hemp Industry Consultants Inc), alongside new licensure and ownership transfers. With 245 cultivation licenses, 508 manufacturing operations, and 876 retail locations currently active in New York, the loss of a multi-license operator suggests ongoing consolidation or operational challenges within the market.

Watch for any public filing or regulatory notice explaining Big Sky Ranch's exit—whether voluntary, revoked, or lapsed—particularly given the company's integrated position across cultivation, processing, and distribution. Such filings typically clarify whether inventory transfers or asset liquidations are underway.
