Cheers to Women’s Month and all the fierce ladies out there hustling, innovating, and changing the game! Cannabis isn’t an easy field for women—think tight funding, few leadership spots, and old-school attitudes holding them back. But every woman who builds a brand here is a big deal, bringing fresh ideas and killer products.
At Uma Flowers, we get it—our founders, Priyanka and Tejal Patel, kicked off this journey with their pharmacy and public health backgrounds and turned their know-how into a dispensary that’s all about wellness and community. Supporting women in weed matters, and we’re here to cheer them on as they navigate this journey with us!
The Importance of Supporting Women in Weed
Women in cannabis face steep obstacles, which means a slim percentage of the industry is held by women. Still, they’re transforming the industry with products rooted in wellness and sustainability, offering flower and products that deliver more than just a high. Their brands reflect dedication and ingenuity, and bring more diversity to every cannabis menu in the state.
At Uma Flowers, we value their approach and feature them proudly. You can support them too for Women’s Month by:
- Visit women-owned dispensaries for unique selections
- Choose cannabis crafted by female-led brands
- Ask for woman-owned cannabis brands when shopping at any dispensary
- Share your favorite cannabis crafted by women with others
- Encourage more women to enter the industry
- Show some love to female-led cannabis brands on social media

Gibby’s Garden pumps out premium flower from a small, smart facility built on sustainability and plant respect. Gibby’s Garden strains pack strong genetics, punchy terpenes, and unique effects with strains like Sour Tree and Sugar Bomb. Additionally, the brand remains committed to reaching customers through partnerships with like-minded retailers that care about quality as much as they do.
U4EA
U4EA Farms stays low-key as a women-led outfit, but because they are driven by passion and fresh ideas, MA customers have rapidly begun seeking out U4EA’s products. The brand’s small-batch flower exudes craft-level quality, from its exceptionally cured flower to every bud’s terpene-rich aromatics. Mixing innovation with a deep tie to the plant, U4EU rolls out consistently solid strains that set standards high for others in the industry.
Paper Crane
Paper Crane Cannabis is a highly respected women owned cannabis brand. This cultivator is a family-managed farm focused on regenerative, organic growing top-tier genetics. The Paper Crane farm produces a broad range of well-loved traditional and contemporary strains that are quickly garnering a cult following. Among the few women-led cultivators in the Bay State, Papor Crane’s flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates draw praise from both industry peers and buyers for consistent quality and effects.
NorthEast Alternatives
While not female-founded, NorthEast Alternatives still puts women in key roles across departments and makes sure they are key decision-makers. Their premium products from NEA never flop, and a big part of that is owed to the strategic, exceptional women running the brand behind the scenes. Steady quality and a push for women in the industry keep everything NorthEast Alternatives delivers in high demand.
