The brand behind New York's very first legal sale — sun-grown in Cortland.
About The Brand
Florist Farms started as a backyard vegetable garden in Cortland and grew into a certified-organic farm before founders Karli Miller-Hornick and Allan Gandelman moved into THC in 2018. On December 29, 2022, a Florist Farms jar was the very first product sold when New York's legal adult-use market opened at Housing Works in Manhattan — that's not marketing, it's the OCM's own record. The farm runs on living soil, compost, crop rotation and cover crops, with no pesticides, and has been solar-powered since 2022. Everything starts in the dirt here, and you can taste that the flower is grown by people who spent a decade farming food before they farmed cannabis. For a Gramercy shop, it's about as close to a hometown brand as the New York market has.
Florist Farms is the closest thing New York has to an origin story, and the product backs up the history — clean, regeneratively grown flower from a team that farmed organic vegetables for a decade first. We keep it on the shelf because it's genuinely NY-grown, sustainably run, and reliably good across formats, which is a rare combination.
