North Node Gardens license deactivated in Vermont amid wave of closures
North Node Gardens joins at least 11 other Vermont operators whose licenses have been deactivated since mid-August.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0North Node Gardens, LLC dba North Node Gardens has had its license deactivated in Vermont, according to the state license roster. The closure marks part of a broader wave: at least 11 other Vermont cannabis operators have seen licenses become inactive since August 17, spanning cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, and retail segments.
Vermont's active market remains substantial, with 105 retail locations, 286 cultivation sites, 85 manufacturers, and 2 labs currently licensed as of August 29. June 2026 sales reached approximately $13.1 million. The cluster of deactivations suggests operator churn rather than systemic market contraction, though the cumulative effect warrants monitoring of whether regulatory compliance costs or market consolidation are driving exits.
Watch whether additional license deactivations continue or stabilize in coming weeks, and whether any pattern emerges in operator type or region.
