A New York-licensed cannabis operator listed as Noble Steed Farms has changed its name back to FUFA LLC, according to the state license roster, first reported by State license roster on August 16, 2026.

The reversal is notable because the same roster shows the opposite change just one day earlier: on August 15, 2026, FUFA LLC was recorded as changing its name to Noble Steed Farms. The entity now appears to have reverted to its original name within roughly 24 hours, though the roster entries do not explain the reason for either change.

A busy week for name changes on the roster

The FUFA LLC/Noble Steed Farms flip is one of several licensee name changes logged on the New York roster in mid-August. Related entries show similar back-and-forth patterns elsewhere in the state: Nanticoke Hemp Inc became Nanticoke Gardens on August 14, then reverted to Nanticoke Hemp Inc the next day. Pleasant View Harvest LLC and Mogu Mushrooms also swapped names in both directions across August 14–15. Homestead Hemp 1787 similarly toggled between 'Homestead Hemp 1787' and 'Homestead Hemp 1787 LLC' on consecutive days. Other roster updates in the same window, such as FlowerHouse Walden LLC becoming FlowerHouse and HP Wellness becoming High Priestess, do not show reversals, suggesting the FUFA/Noble Steed pattern is not roster-wide but affects a subset of entities.

No official license records matching FUFA LLC or Noble Steed Farms were provided, so the operator's license type, location, or status cannot be confirmed from this dataset.

The numbers

New York's adult-use market currently shows 877 open retail licenses, 250 open cultivation licenses, and 518 open manufacturing licenses statewide, with 403 pending applications, per state license stats updated August 16, 2026. No state-level monthly sales or year-to-date revenue figures were available in this dataset. Against that backdrop of nearly 900 open retail licenses, a single name-change reversal at one licensee represents a small fraction of overall roster activity.

What to watch next

Whether the FUFA LLC/Noble Steed Farms designation stabilizes in future roster updates, or continues to toggle, may clarify whether this reflects a data-entry correction, an internal administrative dispute, or another unreported factor. Similar reversals among Nanticoke Hemp Inc, Pleasant View Harvest LLC, and Homestead Hemp 1787 in the same roster window suggest this may be a pattern worth monitoring across multiple licensees rather than an isolated case.
