About Middlebury
The cannabis scene
Middlebury is the Addison County seat — a college town of about 8,500 residents at the foot of the Green Mountains, home to Middlebury College, roughly 37 miles south of Burlington on US-7.
The town has a particular distinction in Vermont cannabis history: FLŌRA Cannabis at 2 Park Street was one of only three dispensaries statewide to open on October 1, 2022 — the first day adult-use cannabis sales were legal in Vermont. It made the first retail cannabis sales in Middlebury's history that day, drawing a crowd of approximately 1,000 visitors.
As of mid-2026, Middlebury has two CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries. FLŌRA is in the downtown core, steps from Middlebury College's main campus. The Herbal Collective is on the US-7 corridor south of downtown, with slightly later closing hours on weekends. Middlebury adopted a 1% local option tax on cannabis, bringing the total to 21%.
