East Side Farms ExpansionEast Side Farms, Inc. is seeking discretionary approval from Lake County for a Major Use Permit to expand its existing commercial cannabis cultivation operation at multiple parcels along Jerusalem Grade, approximately 7.5 miles northeast of Middletown. The proposed project would increase the outdoor canopy to up to 50,560 square feet, building upon two existing cultivation areas totaling nearly 70,000 square feet and adding a new 50,000-square-foot fenced outdoor cultivation zone. The operation will remain a transport-only self-distribution model with no retail sales on-site. The property, currently accessed via a shared private gravel road with locking metal gates, already hosts infrastructure including four groundwater wells, three residences, a wooden barn, a metal building, a 30,000-gallon fire water tank with hydrant, multiple outbuildings, and solar arrays. The expansion includes repurposing the existing 2,100-square-foot metal building for cannabis drying, the 1,120-square-foot barn for harvest storage, and constructing a new 2,100-square-foot greenhouse for immature plants and a 3,000-square-foot metal building for processing. The project site is under existing regulatory authority through a prior Major Use Permit and Commercial Cannabis Cultivation License, and the proposed changes adhere to the County’s land use and cannabis regulations.
