Sweet Grass Dispensary operates from multiple locations in the Finger Lakes and earned Gold for Best Cannabis Dispensary in 2023 followed by Silver in 2025, making it one of the earliest shops to establish credibility in the region's nascent legal cannabis market. In a landscape where new dispensaries were opening rapidly and quality varied wildly, Sweet Grass stood out early and has maintained its reputation. The name evokes the natural, land-connected ethos that the shop brings to its product curation — this is cannabis retail that feels rooted in place rather than transplanted from a corporate playbook.

The multi-location model means accessibility across the Finger Lakes, and the product selection is curated for a broad audience — from occasional consumers looking for a mild edible to experienced users seeking specific flower strains. The staff is approachable and knowledgeable, which matters in a market where many customers are still navigating legal cannabis for the first time. For visitors who want to explore the region's dispensary scene, Sweet Grass is a reliable starting point with an established track record. The Gold-to-Silver trajectory across 2023 and 2025 reflects an increasingly competitive market rather than any decline — Sweet Grass helped set the standard that newer entrants are now chasing.
