Elevating Cannabis Culture: The Story of Viola Brands

At Village Brands, we’re proud to highlight the trailblazing journey of Viola Brands, a company founded by Dan and Al Harrington in 2011. Born from a personal mission to help Al’s grandmother, Viola, find relief from glaucoma and high blood pressure, Viola Brands has grown into a pioneering force in the cannabis industry. With a focus on servicing people battling cancer and HIV, Viola Brands quickly expanded from the medical market to the recreational scene, first in Colorado and then Oregon.

Since its inception, Viola Brands has been dedicated to building generational wealth in black and brown communities, a commitment that resonates deeply with our values at Village Brands. Named after Al’s grandmother, Viola Brands started making sales in 2011 and has since grown to launch in over 12 different markets and Canada as of 2020. This remarkable growth is a testament to the quality and care that goes into every Viola Brands product.

From Viola to Village: Expanding the Vision

In 2019, Dan Harrington took the mission of Viola Brands to the next level by creating Village Brands. Initially focused on acquiring licenses in limited market states, Village Brands marked the beginning of the retail side of the business. Dan recognized that big corporations weren’t truly connecting with people in the market, and thus, Village Brands was born with the motto “multi-state but home to you.”

The name Village Brands was inspired by the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child,” emphasizing the importance of community, support, and shared growth. This ethos is evident in every aspect of Village Brands, from the carefully curated product offerings to the welcoming atmosphere of our dispensaries. When you step into a Village Brands location, you’ll find Viola Brands products proudly displayed, a testament to our shared history and commitment to quality.
