Valley Meade Dispensary

Valley Meade Dispensary sits at 8 VT-17, right where Route 17 meets Route 100 in Waitsfield — the junction every skier passes on the way into the valley. It is a family-owned farm and dispensary, and the location is its defining advantage: Route 17 is the direct road west to Mad River Glen (about 5 miles up the Appalachian Gap), and Route 100 South from this same corner is the road to Warren and the Sugarbush Access Road for Lincoln Peak. Whichever mountain you're skiing, you pass this corner.

As a farm and dispensary, Valley Meade markets its own exclusive strains alongside premium flower, edibles, topicals, tinctures, and accessories from Vermont producers. The shop carries a rotating selection of Vermont brands; check the current menu at valleymeade.com before you go.

For a Sugarbush or Mad River Glen ski day, the logistics are simple: stop at Valley Meade on the way in, keep the cannabis in your lodging, and don't bring it onto resort property. The shop is open until 7 PM daily, which covers most late-afternoon departures back down the valley.

Hours: daily 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. Hours can shift seasonally — confirm at valleymeade.com or call (802) 496-5344 before your visit.

Vermont cannabis tax in Waitsfield: the total tax is 21% — Vermont's 14% cannabis excise tax plus the 6% state sales tax plus the 1% Waitsfield local option sales tax, which took effect July 1, 2026.
