Just west of St. Cloud in Saint Joseph, Purple Prince cultivates cannabis as a licensed Minnesota microbusiness. Operated by Green Cross Corp., the Stearns County grower earned its license from the Office of Cannabis Management in November 2025 and produces at the craft scale that defines the microbusiness tier. Its central-Minnesota location adds licensed growing capacity to one of the state’s established regional hubs.

Nineteen Pines LLC pairs a retail storefront with its own cultivation under a single Minnesota microbusiness license, exactly the kind of seed-to-sale operation the license class was designed to enable. Located on State Highway 23 in Brook Park, the Pine County business serves east-central Minnesota with adult-use retail while growing on the cultivation side. Licensed in November 2025, it brings a vertically integrated small operator to the region between the metro and Duluth.

Kind Bud Inc holds a full cultivator license, a larger-scale class than the microbusiness tier, for its growing operation in Maple Lake. The Wright County company is a state-designated social equity business, licensed by Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management in late 2025. From its central-Minnesota location west of the Twin Cities, Kind Bud contributes meaningful cultivation capacity to the state’s regulated adult-use supply chain.

Northern Minnesota’s cultivation ranks include Valhalla Cannabis Company, a licensed microbusiness growing in Grand Rapids. Operating as Valhalla Industries LLC, the Itasca County company received its cultivation license from the Office of Cannabis Management in December 2025 and works at the small-operator scale the microbusiness tier supports. From the Grand Rapids area, it supplies Minnesota’s regulated adult-use market with product grown in the state’s north country.

Green Box Cannabis LLC serves the south metro from its Kenrick Loop location in Lakeville. A licensed Minnesota microbusiness retailer and recognized social equity business, the Dakota County shop is part of the first generation of state-licensed adult-use dispensaries in the Twin Cities suburbs. Its craft-scale license class keeps ownership local while giving Lakeville-area consumers a regulated, legal place to shop.

R and D Pharm LLC cultivates cannabis in Lino Lakes, on the northern edge of the Twin Cities metro. Licensed as a microbusiness by the Office of Cannabis Management, the Anoka County grower carries Minnesota’s social equity designation, part of the state’s push to widen ownership in the industry. Its craft-scale cultivation adds locally grown supply to the metro-area market from within the state’s regulated framework.

Classified Crops LLC cultivates cannabis in Zimmerman, in Sherburne County north of the Twin Cities. A state-designated social equity business, the company grows under Minnesota’s microbusiness license, the tier created for small, independent operators, and was among the earlier applicants licensed by the Office of Cannabis Management. Its central-Minnesota location puts craft-grown product within reach of both the metro and St. Cloud markets.

From Stillwater in the east metro, Southfarthing Cultivation LLC grows cannabis under a Minnesota microbusiness license. The Washington County cultivator operates at the small-batch scale the microbusiness class is meant to encourage, supplying the state’s regulated adult-use market from the St. Croix Valley. Licensed by the Office of Cannabis Management in early 2026, the company adds a craft grower to the eastern edge of the Twin Cities region.

Knocked Out Genetics LLC cultivates cannabis in Rochester, adding licensed growing capacity to southeastern Minnesota. The Olmsted County company holds a microbusiness cultivation license, the state’s craft-scale tier, and carries a social equity designation from the Office of Cannabis Management, awarded to broaden participation in the new industry. As its name suggests, genetics-focused cultivation is the company’s calling card within Minnesota’s regulated supply chain.

Up in the Red River Valley, White Rabbit cultivates cannabis from its home base in Hendrum. The Norman County grower holds a microbusiness cultivation license from the Office of Cannabis Management and is a state-designated social equity business, one of the earlier license holders bringing agriculture-country roots to Minnesota’s newest crop. Its northwestern location extends the state’s licensed cultivation footprint well beyond the metro.
