Hudson Valley indoor exotics from a former dairy farm.
About The Brand
Milkweed is the cannabis-flower line out of Back Home Farm, a working farm in Ulster County that sits on a former dairy property about a hundred miles north of our Gramercy counter. Founder Will Leibee runs it as a craft operation: cannabis cultivated indoors in small batches alongside an outdoor side of vegetables and herbs grown on organic-certified soil with crop rotation and cover cropping. The flower leans into high-potency exotic hybrids — think dessert-leaning crosses like Lemon Cherry Gelato and rarer cuts such as Permanent Chimera — selected for terpene character, not volume. The name nods to the native New York milkweed plant that Monarch butterflies depend on during migration, which tells you where the farm's head is at. It is quality-over-branding cannabis: a grower's brand, made by people who clearly farm for a living.
Milkweed is the kind of NY-grown craft flower we want on the shelf: indoor, small-batch, and farmed by an operator who treats soil and rotation seriously. The exotic hybrid cuts hit a price-to-terpene sweet spot that holds up against bigger-name flower, and the Hudson Valley provenance is real, not marketing. When a Permanent Chimera or a fresh Gelato batch lands, it moves.
