MFNY, short for Marijuana Farms New York, is a single-source cannabis cultivator and processor on a Hudson Valley farm about 60 miles north of New York City. It grows its own plants, extracts them in-house, and sells live resin and live rosin vapes, gummies, concentrates, infused pre-rolls and tinctures to licensed New York dispensaries.
The trophy case has a headliner. The Hash Burger live resin vape took first place for non-distillate vapes at the High Times New York Cannabis Cup, with winners published in February 2026.
From Hemp Farms of New York to MFNY
The farm came before the brand. Co-founder Natalia Kaminskaya told High Herstory that MFNY was born from HFNY, Hemp Farms of New York, which the team started in 2018. The adult-use brand followed once New York legalized cannabis for adults.
Michael Kandhorov is co-founder and owner. Kaminskaya, co-founder and head of brand and culture, came to cannabis from hospitality and real estate, including a run at Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The published team adds Matthew Garzia as chief operating officer, Ian Dyche as head of operations, Galen Connell as head of extraction, Omar Massoud as director of sales and Louis Guarneiri as chief of staff.
Seed to shelf in New Windsor
MFNY's facility sits in New Windsor, in the Hudson Valley. The company holds New York adult-use cultivator license OCM-CULT-24-000176 and adult-use processing license OCM-PROC-24-000175. It calls the model seed-to-shelf, with growing, harvesting and processing all kept in-house.
Control is the point. MFNY doesn't grow for other brands, and the team says it controls every variable from the plant to the finished product. Valley Greens, a Peekskill dispensary that stocks the brand, laid out the rules in September 2026: no outsourced concentrates and no distillates.
Extraction starts with fresh-frozen flower. MFNY runs closed-loop hydrocarbon extraction for live resin and uses heat and pressure for live rosin.
Classics, Two-Fers and live resin gummies
Vapes carry the catalog. The cartridge menu includes Hash Burger and Honey Banana in 1-gram 510 carts, Superboof in a 0.5-gram cart, and White Fire and Honey Banana in vape pens. The MFNY Classics line leans on heritage cultivars such as Chemdog, Sour Diesel and UK Cheese, with Chemdog offered in both live resin and live rosin.
Two-Fer packs hold two 0.5-gram carts. The 1-gram all-in-one vapes run on ACTIVE hardware, with zirconia ceramic, Dynamic Airflow and USB-C charging.
Housing Works Cannabis Co's Broadway menu showed the rest of the range in September 2026. Live resin gummies came in 10-packs of 100 mg for $22, each pairing a fruit name with a cultivar, such as Watermelon Lemonade x Candy Rain and Mango x Honey Banana. A Blueberry x Blueberry 2.0 live rosin gummy pack ran $30.
Grape Guava and Sour Diesel live resin badder sold at $55 a gram. Pre-rolls included 3-gram 4-packs of Hash Burger and Sour Diesel at $50 and a 0.75-gram Candy Rain single at $16. Tinctures came in 15 ml bottles of Oishii and Rainbow Driver live resin at $48. Kaminskaya told High Herstory in 2025 that the team had just launched its liquid live resin tinctures.
Hash Burger at the Cannabis Cup
MFNY's headline trophy came from the New York Cannabis Cup. High Times published the winners on February 17, 2026, after the ceremony at Sony Hall. The Hash Burger live resin vape took first place in non-distillate vapes, and MFNY placed third in edibles.
The category win fits the pitch. The Cannabis Cup winner listing described Hash Burger as real live resin made from fresh-frozen flower with hydrocarbon extraction, the same process MFNY uses across its live resin menu. The competition judged nine categories, from sativa flower to beverages.
Plants in the New Museum and a booth at MARY Fest
MFNY puts cannabis in rooms that don't usually hold it. For the artist Puppies Puppies (Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo) and the exhibition Nothing New at the New Museum, the company donated live CBD hemp plants, a project Honeysuckle covered in March 2024. Kaminskaya called it part of normalizing cannabis, getting it “into normal, unexpected places.”
The brand works the New York scene too. MFNY was among the brands at MARY Fest, which MARY magazine staged on April 19, 2025, at 53 Scott in Williamsburg, alongside fellow New York brand Jaunty, Dogwalkers and Incredibles.
In May 2025, the MFNY team turned up at the third annual Revelry Buyers' Club trade show in the Hudson Valley. Kaminskaya told Green State she was proud MFNY was “one of the brands helping to shape the industry” in New York.
New York shelves in 2026
Ian Dyche sat down with Respect My Region for a New York cannabis episode of its podcast on February 20, 2026. The outlet followed with a February 24, 2026 feature on MFNY's live resin carts, concentrates, infused pre-rolls, gummies and tinctures.
