Minnesota Cultivation License

Minnesota’s cannabis industry is opening up major cultivation opportunities — and now is your chance to secure one of the only 50 Cannabis Cultivator Licenses available statewide. This license allows you to grow cannabis plants from seed to maturity and distribute them to licensed manufacturers and cannabis businesses across the state. Cultivators are also permitted to package, label, and transport immature plants and seedlings — expanding your operational scope beyond just growing.

With the ability to operate anywhere in Minnesota, license holders have the flexibility to build facilities where land, labor, and utilities offer the most strategic return. This freedom is especially valuable in a competitive market where costs and compliance vary dramatically by region. Additionally, this is not a social equity license, so there are fewer restrictions on ownership transfer, making it an appealing opportunity for investors, multi-state operators, and entrepreneurs looking to expand or reposition.

Cannabis cultivation is the first step in the supply chain — and one of the most essential. Demand for high-quality flower and biomass is expected to surge as the Minnesota market matures, creating significant B2B opportunities for cultivators who can scale efficiently. With a population of 5.8 million and a projected market size of $1.4 billion, Minnesota is poised to become a regional leader in cannabis — and this license puts you at the ground floor.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Extremely Limited: Only 50 cultivator licenses issued statewide — offering a rare chance to establish an early position in the market.
• Scalable Capacity: Grow up to 30,000 sq. ft. of plant canopy indoors or up to two acres of mature flowering plants outdoors.
• Flexible Operations: Locate your facility anywhere in the state and sell to licensed manufacturers and other cannabis businesses.
