Medium businesses generally cover 10,001 to 87,120 sqft of canopy. This range may appeal to growers looking to scale their operations while balancing production goals with quality and efficiency. 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. Depending on the values and funding of these farms, they may or may not be able to provide careful attention to every plant they grow, which can result in varied wuality depending on the brand.

Mixed-Light farms combine sunlight with supplemental lighting to extend growing seasons. This approach is used by farms of various sizes to support year-round production with a focus on efficiency and resource management. Plants are often covered and uncovered in hoop houss depending on the seasonal conditions, and these environmental changes from varied light conditions influence how the plants express their genetics.

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.
