Cannabis Growers Showcases Begin to Take Shape Throughout New York State

In the heart of New York, a unique opportunity has sprouted for cannabis growers. A dozen "grower's showcases" have emerged across the state, offering marijuana businesses a chance to connect with consumers directly. These showcases come at a crucial time, as New York's cannabis market has been inundated with products and only a fraction have made it to the shelves of the 23 licensed New York dispensaries.

One of the most recent showcases, located just a stone's throw away from the renowned New York State Fair, is creating quite a buzz. At FlynnStoned Cannabis Ranch, nine of New York's 278 licensed cannabis farmers have set up shop. From 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day until September 4, these growers are allowed to sell their products directly to consumers.
