Operating as a distinct entity within MLCV’s portfolio, Lake Leaf Cultivation officially opened in the fall of 2024 to deliver on MLCV’s mission to expand our economic portfolio, and establish additional revenue streams beyond gaming.
Profits generated from Lake Leaf Cultivation will be reinvested into the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe to support essential government programs and services for its members. The cultivation facility will also drive new job creation within the Mille Lacs Tribal Economy.
