Deep Roots. Local Impact.
At Dutchess Roots, we believe a cannabis dispensary should be more than just a storefront—it should be a pillar of the community it serves. That’s why everything we do is grounded in our love for Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, and our desire to see it thrive. From day one, we’ve made it our mission to support and uplift the people around us. We are proud to be a woman-owned, locally operated business that reinvests in the very community that raised us
Supporting Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley, one step at a time.
Our connection to the community runs deep, and we’re committed to making a difference in ways both big and small. Here’s how we stay involved:
We collaborate with Hudson Valley-based makers, growers, and businesses to keep our economy thriving and our shelves full of locally sourced products.
We host regular events and workshops that invite the public to learn about the plant, ask questions, and engage in open, stigma-free conversations.
We support local nonprofits and organizations that serve Poughkeepsie’s most vital needs—from food security to youth empowerment and restorative justice.
We prioritize hiring from within our city and neighboring areas, creating jobs that keep talent and opportunity rooted right here in Dutchess County.

The Dutchess Roots Entrepreneurial Scholarship
Building strong, meaningful roots in our local community is at the heart of everything we do.
That’s why we’ve joined forces with the Dutchess Community College Foundation to launch the Dutchess Roots Entrepreneurial Scholarship. This scholarship celebrates the entrepreneurial drive of students enrolled in the College’s Cannabis Retail Management program and is dedicated to supporting students from Dutchess County. Through this initiative, we’re proud to invest in our region’s economic future while empowering the next generation of cannabis industry leaders.
