Sunkissed Farm Inc.'s license has been deactivated in Vermont, according to the state license roster updated August 14. The operator held licenses as a retailer, cultivator, and manufacturer. The deactivation follows at least 11 other license deactivations recorded across Vermont between August 8 and August 11, including Pine Grove Gardens LLC, Cavelion LC, and Seven Peaks LLC.

The clustering of closures over a narrow window suggests possible structural pressure on the market. Vermont's adult-use cannabis system remains relatively small—the state reported 107 open retail locations, 298 cultivators, and 86 manufacturers as of mid-August, with recent monthly sales under $14 million. A prior report from VTDigger in early August flagged a federal hemp definition shift as a potential source of regulatory uncertainty.

Watch whether additional license deactivations continue and whether the state regulator issues guidance on the driver behind the recent closures.
