“This is a new business for us, and we’re moving right along doing our thing,” said Jay Wright from Little Beach Harvest. “There have been ups and downs, but overall it’s been very good, working with other brands, the New York market, the OCM, and our community welcoming us as a legal dispensary.”

Operating on indigenous land
Tribal operations sit at a different intersection of law and commerce than state licensed businesses, with distinct opportunities and constraints. Operating on tribal territory allows Little Beach Harvest to do things most New York dispensaries cannot.
