Birdsong Hemp Company has amended its cultivator license to Birdsong Hemp Company LLC, according to the New York state license roster. The company operates three active adult-use licenses—a cultivator (OCM-CULT-24-000039), processor (OCM-PROC-24-000072), and distributor (OCM-DIST-24-000117)—suggesting the name change applies formal LLC status across its portfolio.

The update coincides with a broader wave of licensee name changes filed on the same date, including Trucann, N&M Farms Site, Create Goodness, and others adopting or standardizing LLC designations. The pattern suggests New York's regulator may have implemented a naming or structural compliance requirement across the licensed operator base.

Simultaneously, the state processed multiple new cultivation and retail licenses, with 885 retail outlets and 250 cultivation sites now operating. Watch whether similar LLC formalizations continue across active licenses or reflect a one-time compliance audit.
