Genesis Farms license inactive in South Dakota; 12 operators delisted in single update
State license roster shows Genesis Farms license no longer active alongside a wave of 12 other South Dakota cannabis operator closures.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Genesis Farms has lost at least one active license in South Dakota, according to the state license roster updated August 6. The closure notice comes as part of a broader delisting event that removed 12 cannabis operators from the roster on the same date, including Royzzz locations, Northern Hills Alternative Health, Dakota Health and Wellness, and Superior Buds.
Official records still show Genesis Farms holding five active medical cannabis cultivation licenses across Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Mitchell, and Pierre—suggesting the inactive designation may apply to a specific facility or license type not captured in the current roster snapshot. The discrepancy warrants clarification on whether the company retains operational status or if records are out of sync.
South Dakota's medical cannabis market currently lists 52 open retail locations and 30 cultivation operations. Watch whether Genesis Farms' remaining five licenses remain active in subsequent roster updates, and whether the multi-operator closure signals broader regulatory or market pressures in the state.
