About Us
Farmer Group began as a small vegetable farm in Upstate NY and is now a leader in the NYS cannabis industry, with a growing portfolio of distinctive brands — Florist Farms, Blotter, Head & Heal, Tune, and Hudson. Our fields sit on land farmed since 1810, shaped by generations committed to caring for the land, serving their community, and pushing agriculture forward. Our roots in regenerative farming and commitment to community and sustainability remain central to everything we do.
We handle every aspect of producing our 100% pure cannabis products, from seed to sale — growing the plants, extracting the oils, and crafting each product in-house because we believe quality comes from the ground up. At the end of the day, we're about doing good work on good land with good people, and we think honest, responsibly grown cannabis can benefit our community and everyone who enjoys our products.
