The acquisition: The purchase is the core use of proceeds. The facility is expected to support Salisbury Canyon Ranch's current output and accommodate a planned expansion to a fully permitted 180-acre cultivation footprint.
Why now? The financing was first announced on March 12, 2026, and May 11, 2026, before closing on July 27, 2026. "This financing represents another important milestone for LEEF as we continue investing in the infrastructure needed to support our long-term growth strategy," Anderson said.
The expansion: LEEF is also positioning to serve future interstate commerce and international export markets, which would require additional cultivation capacity. The new facility could add capacity to serve those markets when they open.

The facility has the potential to generate additional revenue by providing processing and storage services for other cultivators.
