The Doorstep Is the New Storefront: ‘s Statement on What Cannabis Delivery in Westchester Should Mean

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. There is a version of cannabis delivery that New Yorkers have been trained to accept: an unmarked number, a product with no label, a knock at the door, and no way to know what you actually paid for. Nuna Harvest, the Mount Vernon dispensary named the only New York shop on Leafly’s Top 100 list in the United States, wants to go on record: that era is over, and it should be.

“The doorstep is the new storefront,” is how the team frames it. And if that’s true, then everything a customer expects from a store, a license on the wall, a tested product, a real name behind the counter, should arrive with the order. In Westchester County, Nuna Harvest is building its delivery service around exactly that principle.

A statement rooted in legacy, executed with legal precision

Nuna Harvest is led by founder Howard “Howie” Rondinone, a Bronx native and third-generation cannabis figure whose family operated in the underground economy from the 1960s through 2010. He does not hide that history, he treats it as qualification.

“Cannabis and graffiti both live in that same space. They’re cultural forces that existed long before they were accepted,” Rondinone has said. When New York legalized adult-use cannabis, he didn’t see a new industry so much as a chance to bring legitimacy to knowledge he’d lived. The result is a CAURD-licensed, minority- and veteran-owned social equity business (license OCM-CAURD-24-000140) that pairs decades of legacy-era product instinct with the compliance the legal market demands.

That combination is the whole argument. Legacy roots tell you the product will be good. The license tells you it will be safe. Nuna Harvest’s position is that Westchester shouldn’t have to choose between the two.

What legal delivery actually looks like in Westchester County

Nuna Harvest offers delivery across Westchester County, the Bronx, and Manhattan, with a delivery window open until 11 p.m. and most orders arriving within one to two hours. Customers can order same-day or schedule up to 24 hours ahead at nunaharvest.com or through Leafly and Weedmaps.

The service reaches Mount Vernon, Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Eastchester, Mamaroneck, Scarsdale, the Village of Pelham, Tuckahoe, Larchmont, and Bronxville. The full menu travels with the driver: flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, edibles, topicals, concentrates, tinctures, CBD, drinks, and accessories. Every category lab-tested and labeled with verified cannabinoid content.

That last point is where the statement has teeth. New York still has one of the largest unlicensed cannabis markets in the country, and the state’s Office of Cannabis Management has spent 2026 escalating enforcement against illicit operators. Unlicensed product isn’t lab-tested, potency claims are unverified, and nothing screens for pesticides, mold, or residual solvents. Legal cannabis in New York must pass accredited third-party testing before it reaches a customer.

“If a delivery service can’t show you its license, that is your answer,” is the consumer takeaway Nuna Harvest keeps returning to. Its own license number is public and searchable. The company treats that transparency not as fine print, but as the entire point of choosing legal.

Curation over hype

Trust doesn’t stop at the license, it extends to what’s on the menu. Nuna Harvest is deliberate about what it carries, sourcing from vetted New York growers rather than chasing trends.

“We don’t choose brands based on hype. We choose based on performance,” the team says. For a delivery customer who can’t inspect a jar in person before buying, that curation is the substitute for standing in the store, a promise that someone with three generations of product knowledge already made the hard call.

More than a transaction

Ask Rondinone what he wants the brand to feel like and the answer is not about logistics. “I want it to be like a big, warm hug when you walk in. If I could put couches all over the place and let you sit here all day, I would,” he has said. The delivery model is an attempt to send that same feeling out into the neighborhood, into “Money Earnin’ Mount Vernon” and across Westchester, for customers who can’t always come in.

That community focus is structural, not decorative. As a social equity operator, Nuna Harvest prioritizes local hiring, reinvests in the city that legacy prohibition once punished, and partners on cannabis education. The 6,000-square-foot Fleetwood location sits steps from the Metro-North station, one stop from Grand Central, but its delivery fleet is how it reaches the customers who never make the trip.

The bottom line

Nuna Harvest’s statement is not that it delivers faster than everyone else. It’s that legal, licensed, lab-tested delivery should be the baseline every New Yorker gets to expect and that a business built by people who know cannabis best is the one to set that bar.

“The doorstep is the new storefront.” In Westchester County, Nuna Harvest is betting its name that customers are ready to hold delivery to the same standard they’d hold a store.
