Midnight Farm cultivator license deactivated in Vermont
Vermont's state license roster shows Midnight Farm cultivator license no longer active, part of a wave of recent closures in the state.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Midnight Farm's cultivator license (CLTV0291) has been deactivated, according to Vermont's state license roster. The closure was recorded on September 14. The move adds to a cluster of license deactivations across Vermont's cannabis sector in recent weeks—at least ten other operations have exited the roster since early September, including retailers, cultivators, and processors.
Vermont maintains 261 active cultivation licenses across its adult-use market, down from recent highs. The state's July sales reached $14.7 million, suggesting the market remains operational despite individual exits. Recent regulatory scrutiny—including compliance actions and public health reports of cannabis-related vomiting illness cases—may be contributing to operator pressure, though specific reasons for individual closures are not publicly detailed.
Watch whether the pace of license deactivations accelerates or stabilizes. The cluster effect suggests either enforcement pressure or market consolidation; clarity on the drivers would help distinguish operational distress from intentional exits.
