about us
our story
Welcome to Altai Alternative Care, a family-owned dispensary born from a passion for quality cannabis and a commitment to our community. Founded by brothers Matt and John Townsend, our journey began with a simple goal: to create a space where everyone feels comfortable and confident exploring the world of cannabis. The name “Altai” is inspired by the Altai Mountains, where ancient cannabis seeds were discovered, reflecting our deep appreciation for the plant’s rich history.
We’re proud to be a part of the Sunderland, Massachusetts community, and we’ve built our 2,500-square-foot space at 267 Amherst Road to serve our neighbors with honesty and integrity. At Altai, you’re not just a customer; you’re part of our family. We’ve built our business on the values of trust and transparency, ensuring that every product we offer meets our high standards for quality.
