The marijuana business in Berkshire County is booming and a Great Barrington dispensary has been recognized by one of the country's most prestigious magazines, not for it's product, but for it's style.

Located at 126 Main Street in downtown Great Barrington, Farnsworth Fine Cannabis bills itself as a luxury dispensary whose interior echoes that sentiment.

Here's what Architectural Digest had to say about southern Berkshire County's newest, but perhaps most glamourous pot shop:

The Italian-inspired architecture is especially evident in the 78 arched oak wood vitrines

The innovative roots of the Farnsworth family dates back to the early 20th century when Philo Taylor Farnsworth, great uncle to the dispensary's founders, was an American inventor and television pioneer who, according to the Farnsworth website, made many crucial contributions to the early development of all-electronic television.
