Dispensary to open in Humansville

A new medical marijuana dispensary is slated to open in southwest Missouri this weekend.

Flora Farms set a Jan. 23 launch date for its dispensary at 68 E. 300th Road in Humansville, according to a news release.

It's the second dispensary for Flora Farms, which opened a Neosho store on New Year’s Eve, said KM Guru Marketing CEO Kate (Moss) DeGraff, speaking on behalf of Flora Farms. The company also has a cultivation facility in Humansville, about 45 miles northwest of Springfield. Flora Farms applied for the facility licenses through various LLCs organized under BD Health, according to state data.

"Our team has put in a heroic amount of time and effort into these facilities and we can’t wait to share them with the patients of Missouri," Flora Farms President Mark Hendren said in the release.

Flora Farms' Humansville dispensary is one of four in Springfield Business Journal's 50-mile coverage area that has been approved to operate, according to the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services. Old Route 66 Wellness opened in Springfield in November, and a site each in Ozark and Nixa has been approved, according to the state. The other Springfield-area dispensaries approved are Missouri Joint Ventures LLC in Nixa and Old Route 66 in Ozark, according to the state’s interactive map of medical marijuana facilities.

Flora Farms has a Springfield dispensary planned at 2027 N. Glenstone Ave., about a mile south of Old Route 66. Flora Farms is targeting a Feb. 6 opening for the Springfield store, according to DeGraff.

Since dispensary sales began Oct. 16, 2020, Missouri’s medical marijuana regulatory officials report over $7.6 million in sales through Jan. 15.
