Forbins Reserve

Forbins Reserve is an adult-use cannabis dispensary at 21 Metro Way, Unit 8, in Barre, Vermont — the industrial corridor east of downtown. It is the only Barre dispensary with an on-site cultivation operation: Forbins Reserve holds both a CCB adult-use retail license and a Tier 3 Cultivation license, which allows the shop to carry product from its own ForbinsFinest Cultivation in-house grow alongside third-party Vermont producers.

The house-grown ForbinsFinest Cultivation line gives Forbins Reserve a vertically integrated edge — customers can purchase cannabis grown, processed, and sold by the same operation. The product menu covers flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, and accessories.

Hours are Monday through Saturday 10 AM–8 PM. Sunday hours are shorter and listed inconsistently across directories (as narrow as noon–4 PM) — call ahead before a Sunday trip. Metro Way is in Barre's eastern industrial area, accessible off Washington Street (US-302).

Cannabis in Barre City is taxed at 21% total: Vermont's 14% excise tax, the 6% state sales tax, and the city's 1% local option tax.
