Ahava Farms LLC, an adult-use distributor licensed in New York, has had its license deactivated according to the state license roster. The company held three licenses—distributor (OCM-DIST-24-000075), processor (OCM-PROC-24-000064), and cultivator (OCM-CULT-24-000069)—all issued in 2024. The status of the processor and cultivator licenses remains active, according to official records.

The deactivation occurs amid a broader wave of license changes in New York's cannabis market. At least eleven other operators have had licenses deactivated in the same timeframe, while several others have undergone ownership transfers or name changes. Snake Island Genetics was separately licensed as a new manufacturing operator on August 19.

It remains unclear whether Ahava Farms is winding down distribution operations entirely or whether the other two licenses will follow. Watch for updates on the status of the remaining cultivator and processor licenses, which could signal a full exit or partial restructuring.
