Happy Women’s Month to all the women out there working hard, shaking things up, and making a difference! Women’s Month reminds us of the trailblazers breaking barriers in cannabis—an industry where women often face funding gaps, leadership hurdles, and outdated biases. Yet, every female-led brand that rises deserves recognition for pushing quality and innovation forward.
At Stories Cannabis, we’re celebrating these women-owned companies not just for their resilience, but for the exceptional products they bring to our community. Check out some of our favorite women-owned brands in MA below.
Check Out Our Favorite Women Owned Brands
Women in cannabis navigate a tough landscape—underrepresentation, limited resources, and a male-dominated field. From organic wellness goods to premium flower, these women-owned names still deliver excellence despite the odds. Check out a few favorites who have earned their way into the cannabis business.
Healing Rose
Launched in 2016 in Newburyport, Massachusetts, The Healing Rose is a women-driven cannabis brand rooted in care with exceptionally well-made cannabis-infused products. Named after a rescue dog, Rose, the focus rests on crafting wellness products—balms, oils, soaks, lip treatments—using responsibly sourced, organic ingredients in small batches. A rare longstanding female-led name in Massachusetts’ cannabis industry, the Healing Rose approach blends purity with purpose, so customers have access to items to support the body in the best ways.
Paper Crane
Rooted in Massachusetts, Paper Crane Cannabis is a female-owned, family-operated farm guided by regenerative and organic methods. With a dedication to honoring natural cultivation and premium genetics, Paper Crane has one of the most robust strain libraries, but every pick is stellar quality. Among the state’s few female-run growers, the operation earns praise for top-notch products from fellow brands in the industry, as well as customers. Flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates are all available from the brand in MA.
Gibby’s Garden
Since 2018, a woman-owned, family-run cannabis cultivator in Massachusetts has not only thrived but grown to be one of the most recognized names in cannabis. Gibby’s Garden is known for yielding premium flower from a small, innovative facility with a sincere dedication to the best end experience. Strains from Gibby’s Garden boast impressive genetics, bold terpenes, and unique effects. Cultivation leans on sustainability, with respect for cannabis guiding partnerships that bring the flower to customers through like-minded retailers.
NorthEast Alternatives
While NorthEast Alternatives wasn’t founded by women, we’ve seen them empower women throughout their time in cannabis. They place women in key leadership roles across departments, bringing unique perspectives to their brand. That’s why we’re proud to feature NEA’s premium products on our menu at Stories Cannabis. We value their consistent quality and the way they elevate women in the industry. Not to mention, the quality of the brand’s products never fails to impress customers.
U4EA
U4EA Farms thrives on passion and ingenuity, and, despite being a recognized name, is not familiar as a woman-owned cannabis brand by most customers. For U4EA (pronounced euphoria), the focus rests on cultivating premium small-batch flower, as well as prioritizing quality at every step of the cultivation process. Cultivation blends innovation with a deep respect for the plant, yielding consistently impressive strains. Known for high standards, U4EA Farms’ dedication shines through in the exceptional cannabis they bring to the market.
