What's a 'farm to table' cannabis dispensary? One just opened in Abington

ABINGTON — Two lifelong friends spent their teens smoking cannabis tucked away in a barn. Now, the two have opened up a dispensary in Abington to live up to their childhood dreams of being cannabis entrepreneurs.

Have you ever been to a "farm-to-table" dispensary? You can visit 678 Adams St., Abington, to experience it yourself.

The rustic vibes and dark wood accents give you a farm-like feel without the cows and unruly smells.

"We're trying to avoid that Apple store feel and bring out a more homey, inviting feeling. We want our guests to feel comfortable and cozy," said co-owner Gregory MacDonald.

CannaBarn is not like your average dispensary in many ways, from the large parking lot to personal consultations in a private area if needed.

The business wants customers to feel welcomed and seen while shopping for cannabis. They don't want customers to feel rushed to make a purchase, especially if they're new to cannabis and are unsure of what to buy.

MacDonald prides itself on excellent customer service and a good product. You can skip the long lines and order directly from the internet and pick up in person.
