Farmers Choice Dispensary Continues Bringing a Farm Stand Feel to New Paltz Cannabis Shoppers

Farmers Choice Dispensary earns Cannabis Dispensary of the Year from the Consumer Ratings Institute for its farm-stand cannabis shops in New Paltz, NY.

NEW PALTZ, NY, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Farmers Choice Dispensary continues to serve cannabis customers in New Paltz and Fishkill with an experience modeled after a classic New York farm stand rather than a typical dispensary. Licensed by the New York Office of Cannabis Management, the company built both of its stores around wooden crates, hand-lettered signs, and Farm Hands who know their growers by name.

Farmers Choice Dispensary describes itself as "a farm market first, a dispensary second," stocking lab-tested cannabis sourced from licensed New York producers and rotating fresh product regularly so there's something new on the shelves at every visit. Customers can order ahead and pay at pickup at either the New Paltz or Fishkill location, both open daily.

"We wanted walking into our stores to feel like a great Saturday at a farm stand, not a clinical retail experience," said Sharif Jamal on behalf of Farmers Choice Dispensary. "That means knowing our growers, knowing our regulars, and always having something fresh to show people."

That approach has built a loyal following across the Hudson Valley, with Farmers Choice Dispensary maintaining a 4.9-star overall rating across 189 reviews.

Farmers Choice Dispensary's community standing was recently recognized by the Consumer Ratings Institute, which named the company the recipient of the Cannabis Dispensary of the Year award for New Paltz, New York.

"This award means a great deal to both Farmer's Choice and Mercury Project Design" (Store Designer). "By reimagining the cannabis retail experience, we set out to move beyond the sterile, jewelry-store aesthetic, traditionally associated with dispensaries and create something entirely different. The Farmer's Choice flagship transforms the retail environment into a warm, immersive farmer's market-inspired destination where discovery, exploration, and the customer experience take center stage." - Michael Benincasa, Chief Creative Officer, Mercury Project Design.

Farmers Choice Dispensary continues to serve customers at its New Paltz and Fishkill locations.
