Arkansas's Medical Marijuana Cultivators: A Patient's Guide to the State's 8 Licensed Cultivation Facilities

Blog

Arkansas made history in November 2016 when voters approved Amendment 98, legalizing medical marijuana and establishing one of the most tightly regulated cannabis programs in the United States. What sets Arkansas apart is the state's decision to limit cultivation licenses to just eight facilities statewide. This intentional scarcity was designed to ensure quality control, maintain oversight, and create a sustainable medical marijuana industry that prioritizes patient safety above rapid expansion.

Unlike states with hundreds of licensed cultivators, Arkansas' eight cultivation facilities operate in a unique environment that encourages innovation, consistency, and accountability. Each cultivator has carved out its own identity—from large-scale operations pioneering extraction techniques to small-batch craft growers focusing on artisan products. Understanding the differences between them can help you make more informed decisions about your medicine.

In this guide, we'll introduce you to all eight of Arkansas' licensed medical marijuana cultivators: BOLD Team, Carpenter Farms, Good Day Farm, Leafology, Natural State Medicinals, Osage Creek Cultivation, Revolution Cannabis, and River Valley Relief. You'll learn about each facility's cultivation approach, popular products, partnerships, and what makes them unique in Arkansas' cannabis industry.
