Massachusetts farmers ‘sidelined’ at Worcester dispensary’s farmer’s market say industry equity programs need work
Farmers who say they have been boxed out of the lucrative cannabis industry due to the high costs of entry were confronted by police as they protested a so-called “Cannabis Farmers Market” event at a Worcester dispensary over the weekend.
“Farmers aren’t even getting in the parking lot, let alone sitting at the table,” Westport farmer Averyl Andrade said.
Andrade and her husband picketed a so-called “Cannabis Farmer’s Market” event at Worcester pot shop Resinate alongside a mother-daughter farming duo Ominique Garner and Goldie Piff of A.V. Rose Farms in Rochester and about a dozen advocates fed up with the barriers barring them from getting into the businesses.
