Burlington Kush Factory's cultivator license (CLTV0382) is no longer active, according to Vermont's state license roster. The company also holds an active manufacturer license under the DBA Constellate, suggesting the closure may be partial rather than a complete exit from the market.

The deactivation is part of a pronounced cluster: at least 12 Vermont cannabis operators have lost active status since mid-August, spanning cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers. This pattern suggests operational or regulatory pressure affecting operators across the supply chain.

Vermont maintains 291 active cultivation licenses and 86 manufacturing licenses as of August 23, with monthly sales around $13 million. Whether recent closures signal compliance tightening, market consolidation, or seasonal churn remains unclear. Watch for any statement from the state regulator on license cancellation drivers.
