A Dispensary Worth the Drive from Amherst

Amherst is one of western Massachusetts' most vibrant communities — home to UMass Amherst, Amherst College, and Hampshire College, plus a thriving downtown full of restaurants, bookshops, and locally owned businesses. If you're an Amherst resident or student over 21 looking for a cannabis dispensary with exceptional product selection and genuine customer care, Hometown Harvest in Athol is well worth the trip.

The drive from Amherst takes about 45 minutes heading east. Take Route 116 North to Route 2 East, and follow Route 2 through Orange into Athol. It's a scenic route through the Connecticut River Valley and into the wooded hills of the North Quabbin — one of the prettier drives in the state, especially during foliage season. Many of our Amherst-area customers combine the trip with a visit to the Quabbin Reservoir or a stop in one of the small towns along Route 2.
