Lyndonville and the Nearest Dispensary
Lyndonville is the commercial village of Lyndon, a Caledonia County town of roughly 5,500 that serves as the gateway to Burke Mountain ski resort and Kingdom Trails, the largest mountain biking network in the eastern United States. Vermont State University-Lyndon (formerly NVU-Lyndon) operates its campus here. It is a hub town for the Northeast Kingdom — and as of mid-2026, it has no CCB-licensed cannabis dispensary.
St. Johnsbury is the only municipality in Caledonia County with adult-use cannabis retail. It sits approximately 17 miles south on I-91, about 20 minutes from Lyndonville Exit 23. The two St. Johnsbury dispensaries — The Green Man and Northeast Kannabis — are about 1.5 miles apart (The Green Man up on Memorial Drive near the Green Mountain Mall, Northeast Kannabis downtown on Railroad Street), a few minutes' drive between them. One trip easily covers both shops if you want to compare menus or split your purchase.
Vermont's base cannabis tax is 20% at both locations (14% excise + 6% state sales). St. Johnsbury has not adopted a local option tax, so there is no premium above the state base rate. Confirm at the register.
The Green Man (1998 Memorial Dr Suite 12, St. Johnsbury)
The Green Man is the Northeast Kingdom's first CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, opening in October 2022 — among the first shops to open in Caledonia County when Vermont launched legal adult-use sales. Owner Zeb Overton has more than 20 years of experience as a legacy grower and also operates Overton's View Farm, a cultivation operation with a 1,000-square-foot indoor facility and outdoor grow of up to 120 plants. The shop carries flower, edibles, and concentrates, with the cultivator connection visible in the product lineup.
The Sunday factor. The Green Man is the only St. Johnsbury dispensary open on Sundays — and it's the key planning detail for weekend visitors to Burke Mountain or Kingdom Trails. Hours on Sunday are 10:00 AM to 4:20 PM. The close is firm. If you're coming off the mountain after 4:00 PM on a Sunday, you will not make it before closing. Plan the dispensary stop for before the trailhead or ski area, not after.
An ATM is on-site. Online ordering is available via Dutchie at thegreenmancannabis.com/menu. The shop is located on Memorial Drive (US-5 north) in St. Johnsbury's commercial strip near the Green Mountain Mall area — easy to spot coming from I-91 Exit 20.
Hours: Monday–Wednesday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM | Thursday–Friday 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | Saturday 10:00 AM–5:00 PM | Sunday 10:00 AM–4:20 PM
Contact: (802) 535-0669 | thegreenmancannabis.com | 1998 Memorial Dr Suite 12, St. Johnsbury VT 05819
From Lyndonville: I-91 South from Exit 23 approximately 17 miles to Exit 20. Follow US-5 North (Memorial Drive) approximately 1 mile — The Green Man is in the commercial area near the Green Mountain Mall on the right.
Northeast Kannabis (166 Railroad St, St. Johnsbury)
Northeast Kannabis opened in late 2022 on Railroad Street in downtown St. Johnsbury — one of the first shops to open in the Northeast Kingdom, following The Green Man. Owner Matt Racenet holds a Master's Degree in Education and has taught in St. Johnsbury-area schools; his wife Aleha is also a teacher completing a graduate degree in Education. The shop's focus on cannabis education and destigmatization is visible in how staff engage with customers: they take time to explain products, effects, and safe-use practices, making Northeast Kannabis a good first visit for anyone new to cannabis or returning after a long gap.
Closed Sundays — plan accordingly. Northeast Kannabis is closed Sunday. This is the most important thing to know before leaving Lyndonville or East Burke on a Sunday: only The Green Man (Memorial Drive, 10 AM–4:20 PM) is an option.
On weekdays and Saturdays, Northeast Kannabis offers the latest close in St. Johnsbury: 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday. For Lyndonville residents and Kingdom Trails visitors who finish activities in the early evening, the 7 PM close provides a useful buffer that The Green Man's weekday schedule doesn't fully cover (The Green Man closes at 6 PM Monday–Wednesday, 5 PM Saturday).
Veteran discount available — contact the shop for current terms. ADA-accessible entry. On-site ATM. Online ordering via Dutchie.
Hours: Monday–Saturday 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | CLOSED Sunday
Contact: (802) 424-1760 | northeastkannabis.com | 166 Railroad St, St. Johnsbury VT 05819
From Lyndonville: I-91 South from Exit 23 to Exit 20 or 21. Follow US-5 or Route 2 into downtown St. Johnsbury. Northeast Kannabis is on Railroad Street, part of the historic downtown commercial block. Street parking is available nearby.
Kingdom Trails and Burke Mountain: Timing Your Dispensary Stop
Kingdom Trails (based in East Burke, ~10 miles east of Lyndonville via VT-114) and Burke Mountain ski resort draw visitors to the area year-round — mountain bikers in the warmer months, skiers and snowboarders in winter. Both activities put people on the road between Lyndonville and St. Johnsbury on a regular basis.
Before the activity: Either shop works. Both open at 10 AM. If you're heading to Kingdom Trails or Burke Mountain first thing in the morning, stop in St. Johnsbury on the way out from I-91, then continue east on US-2 or Route 5 to VT-114 toward East Burke.
After the activity on weekdays: Northeast Kannabis (closes 7 PM Mon–Fri) gives the most time. The Green Man closes at 6 PM Monday–Wednesday and 7 PM Thursday–Friday. Both give you a reasonable window if you wrap up activities by 5–6 PM.
After the activity on Saturdays: The Green Man closes at 5 PM Saturday; Northeast Kannabis closes at 7 PM Saturday. On a Saturday, Northeast Kannabis gives you two extra hours after The Green Man closes.
After the activity on Sundays: Only The Green Man is open, and it closes at 4:20 PM. If you're heading back through St. Johnsbury on a Sunday afternoon after skiing or biking, be off the mountain or trail by 3:30 PM at the latest. There is no late Sunday option.
From East Burke, the drive to St. Johnsbury is approximately 25 minutes: VT-114 west to I-91 South, Exit 20 or 21 into St. Johnsbury.
Vermont Cannabis Law: What to Know Before You Visit
Vermont's adult-use cannabis law allows any adult 21 or older with valid government-issued photo ID to purchase cannabis at any CCB-licensed retailer — Vermont ID is not required. Under S.278 (effective July 1, 2026), possession limits are 2 oz of flower and 10 g of concentrate. No public consumption. Cannabis must stay in Vermont — the New Hampshire border is minutes east of Lyndonville via US-2 or I-91, but transporting cannabis across any state line is a federal offense regardless of the destination state's laws.
St. Johnsbury's 20% cannabis tax applies at both shops: 14% state excise + 6% state sales, with no Caledonia County or St. Johnsbury local option tax added. Confirm at the register.
