Birdseye Botanicals Listed as Inactive in Vermont, Though Records Still Show Active Licenses
State roster flags the cultivator as no longer active, part of a wave of Vermont cannabis license closures, even as some state records list its permits as active.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Birdseye Botanicals no longer holds an active license in Vermont, according to the state license roster, which listed the company's status change on Aug. 2, 2026.
The listing is the latest in a string of closures reported through the same state license roster over the prior two days, including Friendly Farmers, OK Organix LLC (dba OK Farms), Green Mountain Scientific Corp., Vermont Greenery LLC, Terpslurper Farms, Stillmore Farms LLC, Backwoods Farm LLC, 1958 LLC, and Rebel East VT LLC — all flagged as no longer active in Vermont between July 31 and Aug. 2, 2026. The closures also come as separate coverage from the Rutland Herald reported that Vermont cannabis prices run roughly double those in Massachusetts, a pricing gap that may be relevant to operator viability in the state, though the roster data does not establish a direct causal link.
The numbers
Official license records matching Birdseye Botanicals show three permits — a Cultivator license (CLTV0103), a Manufacturer license (MANU0103), and a Propagator license (PROP0004) — all still listed with a status of "Active." This creates an apparent inconsistency with the roster's closure listing, suggesting the two data sources may not yet be fully reconciled or that the change had not propagated across all records as of the reporting date.
Statewide, Vermont's regulator lists 314 open cultivation licenses, 111 open retail licenses, 91 open manufacturing licenses, and 2 open labs, with zero pending applications recorded. Against that base of licenses, a single cultivator's closure would represent a small fraction of the state's cultivation footprint, though the cluster of roughly ten closures reported over just three days points to a broader pattern worth monitoring.
Monthly sales figures for Vermont show adult-use cannabis revenue holding in a narrow band, from about $0.0121 billion in February 2026 to about $0.0133 billion in May 2026, with little month-to-month volatility. The steadiness of statewide sales alongside a wave of license closures suggests consolidation among operators rather than a broader contraction in consumer demand, though the data provided does not isolate Birdseye Botanicals' individual contribution to those totals.
What to watch next
Given the conflict between the closure listing and the "Active" status on Birdseye Botanicals' three license records, confirmation from a subsequent roster update would clarify whether the license has in fact lapsed, been surrendered, or remains in effect. The broader run of Vermont closures, set against separate reporting on elevated in-state prices relative to Massachusetts and one new cultivation license granted to All Bliss Cannabis LLC on July 30, may warrant tracking to see whether the state's operator base is shrinking, shifting, or simply turning over.
