Farms in this size range are usually smaller farmers who were successful enough in the legal market to expand their grow area, or smaller investment capital businesses who are looking to strike a balance between scale and business stability.

Single License Operators only own one active license in California, which means they only have one narrow opportunity to succeed in today's challenging industry. In most cases, these operators manage small or medium-sized farms and rely heavily on their brand identity and unique offerings to stand out in the competitive market. There are a few large-scale operations that only have one license, since starting in 2023 the law allows licensees with many smaller farms to consolidate them together under a Large-category license. At Higher Origins, our focus is on the smaller single license operators who only have one operation to make or break their success.
