Cannabis Dispensary Near Putnam County
Putnam County has no Farmers Choice of its own, and the closest Farmers Choice for every town in the county is our Fishkill store.

Getting here from Putnam County
Most of Putnam County reaches Fishkill on I-84 west, which runs through the northeast of the county and has a Route 9 exit about half a mile from the store. From Carmel, Route 52 runs up to Lake Carmel and Route 311 continues about a mile north to I-84. From Brewster, Route 6 and Route 312 lead to the highway. Cold Spring, Garrison and Putnam Valley use Route 9 instead: Fishkill Road leaves Nelsonville to meet it, and Putnam Valley gets there by Dennytown Road and Route 301. Mahopac's shortest way is a run of back roads and Route 301 to the Taconic State Parkway, then I-84.

What a visit from Putnam County looks like
The trip depends on which side of the county you start from. Brewster, Patterson, Kent and Carmel are a few minutes from an I-84 on-ramp, so most of the drive is highway.

The store opens at 8AM daily and closes at 10PM Sunday through Wednesday and 11PM Thursday through Saturday, and mornings are its quietest stretch.

The store has parking right at the door. Bring a current government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older; it is checked before the bag is handed over. Online orders are paid at the counter when you collect them.
