Top 10 Moments of 2025 at The Source Craft Cannabis Dispensary in Rogers, Arkansas
Dear Sourcerers,
At the end of every year, I get a serious bout of nostalgia. I like to take the time to unpack the memories made over the year like a treasure hunt—holding each one up to the light, remembering how it felt in the moment, and feeling grateful all over again.
2025 wasn't our highest revenue year for our Rogers, Arkansas cannabis dispensary, BUT we held strong against Missouri conglomerates and multi-state operators who deepened their hold on our Northwest Arkansas medical marijuana market. When I look back at what we did accomplish, I couldn't be more proud of this team or more grateful for our patients and our community.
So here it is—my Top 10 Moments of 2025 at The Source Craft Cannabis, your locally owned Arkansas MMJ dispensary:
1. 4/20 Weekend Fiesta – Rogers, AR's Biggest Cannabis Celebration of the Year
With 2,239 transactions over 3 days, we had an unforgettable 420 party right here in Rogers, Arkansas! Our annual 4/20 cannabis event is a beloved tradition for NWA medical marijuana patients, and this year's Fiesta was one for the record books. Thank you to every single patient who celebrated with us—you made it magical.
2. Star Spangled Gummies Launch – Arkansas Cannabis Edibles Supporting Local Veterans
This was one of our favorite products we developed in 2025. Our Star Spangled Gummies feature rare CBD-V (cannabidivarin) alongside a delicious strawberry shortcake flavor—a truly unique addition to the Arkansas cannabis edibles market. Best of all, 2.5% of net proceeds from this product goes directly back to supporting our local VFW chapter. Supporting veterans through cannabis? That's something we're proud to stand behind.
3. Harvest 16 – Three In The Flow Strains Exceed 30% THC
Our craft cannabis grow team gets better with every round. In Harvest 16, our Arkansas-grown In The Flow cannabis strains Donny Burger, Glue, and Truffle Hound all scored over 30% THC, with Lemon Skunk coming in close at 29%. For NWA medical marijuana patients seeking high-potency, locally cultivated flower, this harvest was a milestone. Craft cannabis cultivation in Arkansas doesn't get much better than this.
4. 6th Anniversary Celebration & Island Girl Album Drop
Every year we love our birthday party, but 2025 was something truly special. Our 6th anniversary as a Rogers, Arkansas cannabis dispensary coincided with the debut album release of our Brand Ambassador, Rochelle Bradshaw's Island Girl. Music, cannabis, and community all came together in one unforgettable evening. This is what craft cannabis culture in Northwest Arkansas looks like.
5. Joining the Rogers Lowell Chamber of Commerce – Cannabis Businesses in NWA
At our Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, local business owners told me, "I had no idea Arkansas even had a cannabis program." That moment said everything. We couldn't be more excited to share what we do with the broader Rogers and Lowell business community—and to keep dismantling the stigma placed on our favorite plant. Arkansas medical marijuana is a legitimate, thriving industry, and we're proud to represent it.
6. Roots & Reefer Documentary Premiere – Arkansas MMJ Told From the Inside
Our Arkansas cannabis documentary, Roots & Reefer, reached 12,000+ views and grew our channel to 500+ subscribers. For the first time, Arkansas finally got to see behind the doors of the AR MMJ program. If you haven't watched it yet, now is the perfect time to get a real look at what medical marijuana in Arkansas means for patients, cultivators, and local dispensaries like ours.
7. $10,000 in Local Music Sponsorships – The Source Supports NWA's Music Scene
We proudly sponsored $10,000 worth of live music events in Northwest Arkansas in 2025, including the Bob Marley Bash (year 2!), Gar Holeidays, and A Tribute to the Last Waltz, among others. We believe in supporting the NWA arts and music community—after all, musicians have championed cannabis for decades. Cannabis and culture go hand in hand, and we'll keep showing up.
8. 12 Successful Tip Matches Totaling $23,000 for NWA Nonprofits
Every single month in 2025, we showed up for a different Northwest Arkansas nonprofit, raising money and awareness through our monthly Tip Match program. Across 12 Tip Match events, we raised a combined $23,000 for local charitable organizations. For us, the Tip Match is a monthly reminder of what it means to be rooted in NWA. Cannabis giving back to the community—that's The Source difference.
9. The Sharing Shack Launch – Community Redistribution at Your Rogers Dispensary
We launched our hand-crafted "Robin Hood"-style redistribution center, The Sharing Shack, and our patients filled it with birthday cake mixes, canned goods, and pure generosity. Give what you can; take what you need. This is what community-centered cannabis retail in Rogers, Arkansas looks like. We are so proud of our Sourcerers for showing up for one another.
10. Garrick Playing Santa Claus at Our Employee Highliday Party
Because at the end of the day, we have to lift one another up! Our team is the heartbeat of The Source Craft Cannabis, and celebrating them is always a top-10 moment.
The #1 Moment? Budtending You.
And not to be corny… but… do you know what the #1 moment is in our hearts?
Budtending YOU.
Talking with our Arkansas medical marijuana patients, helping you find relief, watching your faces light up when something finally works. There is no better fulfillment than that.
