Craftsbury Cannabis carries a focused menu of Vermont craft cannabis: flower, pre-rolls, vape carts, edibles, tinctures, and drinks. The shop is on Wild Branch Road — the same road as Rebel Grown, Dan Pomerantz's half-acre regenerative organic cannabis farm on a 200-acre permaculture sanctuary, the first cannabis farm on the East Coast to receive Sun+Earth Certified status (a nonprofit third-party certification for regenerative organic practices). Pomerantz has grown cannabis and hemp in Vermont since 2018, using cover cropping, mulching, composting, and compost teas made in part with maple syrup tapped from the farm's own trees. The Wild Branch Road corridor represents exactly the kind of farm-to-shelf, soil-driven ethos that defines the best of Vermont's NEK cannabis scene.
Check craftsburycannabis.com for the current menu, any deals, and hour updates before making the drive — small NEK shops sometimes shift hours seasonally, and Craftsbury Cannabis lists no phone number, so the website is the way to confirm.
Plan Around the Hours: What to Do When Craftsbury Cannabis Is Closed
The shop is closed two days a week — Wednesday and Sunday — and does not open until 11 AM the other five days. For visitors to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center or the Greensboro area, this matters: an early-morning or mid-week stock-up may need a backup plan.
Your best backup is The Wick Cannabis Market in Hardwick, about 12 miles south on VT-14. The Wick is open every day of the week: Monday 10 AM–6 PM, Tuesday through Friday 10 AM–7 PM, Saturday 10 AM–6 PM, Sunday 10 AM–6 PM. The drive from Craftsbury down VT-14 through Cabot and Marshfield takes about 20–25 minutes. See the Hardwick near-me guide for full details on The Wick.
If you are heading further north in Orleans County — toward Barton, Glover, or Newport — Kingdom Kind in Barton (290 Glover Rd; Mon–Sat 10 AM–6 PM, Sun 10 AM–2 PM) is a woman-owned, farm-direct shop about 10 miles northeast of Craftsbury on VT-16.
For Greensboro Visitors: Your Nearest Option Is Craftsbury
Greensboro — home to Caspian Lake, Jasper Hill Farm (Bayley Hazen Blue, Harbison, Cabot Clothbound Cheddar), Hill Farmstead Brewery (consistently ranked among the world's best breweries), and the Highland Lodge's cross-country ski trail network — has no cannabis dispensary within town limits.
Craftsbury Cannabis is the closest licensed shop at roughly 6 miles. Take VT-16 north from Greensboro village to Craftsbury, then follow signs to Wild Branch Rd. The drive is about 10–15 minutes on rural Vermont roads. Remember the hours: 11 AM–7 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; closed Wednesday and Sunday.
Hill Farmstead Brewery (802 Hill Farmstead Rd, Greensboro Bend) is 8 miles from Craftsbury Cannabis — a natural pairing for visitors who want to combine the two stops on a Friday or Saturday afternoon, with the brewery typically releasing new bottles to visitors on Saturday mornings. The Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm (884 Garvin Hill Rd, Greensboro Bend) is the world-class artisan cheese aging facility nearby, though visits are by appointment. Both draw destination visitors to this corner of the NEK who may also be looking for legal cannabis access — Craftsbury Cannabis fills that gap.
