Trusted cannabis brands are hard to come by. Although there’s an abundance of them, finding one that truly has your best interest in mind can be challenging. Don’t even get me started on the difficulties of finding consistent, high-quality flower with expected effects.

Luckily, it’s all trial and no error at Northeast Alternatives. Founded on the notion that medical patients deserve access to alternative healing solutions, this Massachusetts-based brand now serves both the recreational and medical markets with premium, award-winning strains that have stood the test of time.

Strains like their fan-favorite Golden Goat dominate the East Coast market with their delightful aromas, prominent flavors, powerful effects, and pleasant experiences. Read on to learn more about Northeast Alternatives and a few of their award-winning strains.

Personal experiences are the foundation of Northeast Alternatives. The company’s founder and CEO, Chris Harkins, lost his mother to cancer at the age of 19. 

Noticing the toll that cancer treatments had on his mother, he was set on finding a solution. This was especially true when his father, Phil, received a similar diagnosis a few years down the line.

So, Chris expanded his knowledge of the potential alternative treatments out there, one of which, with countless success stories, was medical cannabis. He presented his findings to his father, who later found much-needed relief from this therapeutic plant. From there, Northeast Alternatives came to life.

Chris began building a leadership team with his cousin, Rich Rosier, alongside experienced cannabis cultivators Kyle Bishop and Zac Cooper to further bring NEA to life. 

The team found the perfect growing climate in Fall River, Massachusetts, and began selling medical marijuana in 2018. Northeast Alternatives has since become a reputable source for medical and recreational cannabis, looking to expand retail stores in MA and other East Coast states.

Northeast Alternatives has won a handful of awards for many of their strains. Spanning Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid options, NEA has something for everyone. 

Although the brand also supplies edibles, concentrates, tinctures, and vapes, their award-winning flower options mustn’t go unnoticed. See our favorite strains from Northeast Alternatives below.
