mello Dispensary in Haverhill MA

mello, more than a name

“Life is better when you’re mello Dispensary in Haverhill MA.” That is the motto at mello, the cannabis company with a dispensary at 330 Amesbury Road in Haverhill, just off Interstate 495. The company says the name is “more than a name, it’s a state of mind,” and it backs that up with a farm of its own a short drive away in Amesbury.

If you live in the Merrimack Valley, or you are coming down from southern New Hampshire, here is what to know about mello Haverhill.

Open since 2021

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission lists 330 Amesbury Road as an active, licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, open since November 5, 2021. The shop got its final state license that October under a new name: it had been planned as Mellow Fellows before being renamed mello, as local station WHAV reported. A grand opening followed on Saturday, December 4, 2021.

The founders started working on the project in 2018. Store manager Derrell Black told BevInfo Group that mello was the fourth and last dispensary to open in its immediate area. “Everybody here has about an 18 months head start on us, so it’s been an uphill battle from the beginning,” he said. The hard work paid off. Black said mello saw record sales in 2023, with revenue nearly doubling from 2022.

Grown at mello FARMS in Amesbury

What sets mello apart is the farm. mello FARMS is the company’s own hybrid greenhouse cultivation and production facility in Amesbury, a short drive from the Haverhill store. Its translucent roof, the company says, “floods our plants with abundant natural sunlight,” while the space stays climate controlled.

mello describes a hands-on process: careful genetics selection through pheno hunting, hand trimming and slow curing. The farm produces flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and vapes, grown seed to sale, and every batch gets third-party lab testing for potency and contaminants. mello says its farm supplies the Haverhill dispensary, its delivery menu and wholesale partners around Massachusetts.

Award-winning strains

mello’s growers have picked up some hardware. The company reports four first-place strain awards. Among them, it says its Deep Space Candy won the Boston NECANN Cup in 2025, and its Lembrule was crowned at the Massachusetts High Times Cup in 2024. Ask a budtender which award winners are on the shelf right now.

Budtenders who match you to the right product

mello’s certified budtenders give personalized recommendations, and Black told BevInfo Group they are trained to match each shopper with products based on their goals, whether that is relaxing, focusing or something else. Reviews of the Haverhill store praise the staff, the prices, the variety and the atmosphere, with one shopper calling the team “very knowledgeable about different products for different medical needs.”

Learn before you buy

mello’s website is full of tools for new and curious shoppers. There is a beginner’s guide, a dosage calculator, a terpenes guide and an aroma profile section that groups products by how they smell. Black said mello planned to bring aroma profiles into the store too, so shoppers can smell cannabis before they buy. If you are not sure where to start, the aroma profiles are a fun way in, and the dosage calculator is a smart first stop before trying edibles.

A satisfaction promise

mello backs its products with a “100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back” promise, and it has a published returns and exchanges policy on its website. Every product is third-party lab tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals and purity.

A good neighbor

Community is part of the mello story. Black told BevInfo Group that mello donates $5,000 to nonprofits and shelters every other month, runs a winter coat drive for young people from November through January, and helps with educational projects at Northern Essex Community College, including its cannabis curriculum.

People who care about people

mello says its values start with quality and consistency, which it calls its “cornerstone.” Its mission is to “make this world a little more mello,” built on the belief that cannabis can bring people together regardless of religion, race, politics or culture. It also commits to hiring local and diverse talent, supporting community initiatives and partnering with small businesses and artists. CEO Matthew Richman, who came to cannabis in 2017 after working as an auditor and in finance and operations leadership, says he is most proud of “developing people and helping raw talent grow into lasting careers.”

The mello lifestyle

mello’s values go beyond the counter. The company sees cannabis as a companion to people for roughly 12,000 years, and it hopes the plant will regain an important place in American health, economic and social life. Its stated values include open, honest and timely communication, strict compliance with Cannabis Control Commission rules, and collaboration with other cannabis companies to raise the bar for everyone.

One value stands out for shoppers: what mello calls “a mello lifestyle.” The company says it wants a safe, happy and uplifting space for customers and staff alike, with a real focus on mental health and a positive workplace. Its shorthand for all of it is simple: “keep it mello.” The goal is for every visit to feel relaxed rather than rushed, whether you are a first-timer or a regular stopping in after work.

Make a day of it in Haverhill

Haverhill is an Essex County city of 67,787 people (2020 census), on the Merrimack River at the New Hampshire border, about 35 miles north of Boston. It was settled in 1640 and became a city in 1870, and the town of Bradford joined it in 1897.

The city was once a shoemaking giant. By the end of 1913, one in ten pairs of shoes made in the United States came from Haverhill, which earned it the nickname “Queen Slipper City.” The poet John Greenleaf Whittier was from Haverhill, and his poem Snow-Bound is set here. The city’s statue of Hannah Duston is described as the first statue in the country erected in honor of a woman.

For a stroll, Winnekenni Castle, built in 1875, sits within the Winnekenni Park Conservation Area. Northern Essex Community College has its main campus in the city.

Getting here is easy. Interstate 495 runs through Haverhill with five exits, and the MBTA Commuter Rail runs from Boston’s North Station to Haverhill station, where Amtrak trains to Portland, Maine, also stop.
