Back Home Farm New York-grown cannabis at Hii NYC

New York Grown

Back Home Farm

New York-grown flower and hand-rolled pre-rolls. Fresh, fragrant, and farmed with intent by a team that treats cannabis like the agricultural product it is.

Local Agriculture

Grown in New York

Back Home Farm is a certified-organic farm in New York's Hudson Valley, founded by Will Leibee, that grows cannabis and specialty organic vegetables on the same land. That matters for Hii NYC customers because every gram on the shelves came out of a diverse, soil-first farm, not a commodity cannabis operation, and it traveled a short trip from the Hudson Valley to Brooklyn.

Back Home Farm invested in learning cannabis cultivation properly. They test soil, adjust nutrients, monitor plants through the canopy, and harvest at peak maturity rather than at the first commercial window. The result is flower that reflects patient farming, heritage strain selection, and the same discipline that produces their certified-organic vegetable harvests.

Locally grown cannabis is fresher. Products harvested and distributed inside New York reach Hii NYC in Williamsburg and Bay Ridge faster, which means better preservation of cannabinoids and terpenes and a noticeably brighter smell the moment you break the seal on a jar or a pre-roll tube.

Why Buy Local

  • Money stays in New York, supporting local economy
  • Fresher product with better cannabinoid and terpene preservation
  • Supporting the legal cannabis market in your state
  • Jobs created for New York farmers and workers
  • Continuing New York's long farming tradition

Hand-Rolled in New York

Back Home Farm Pre-Rolls

Back Home Farm pre-rolls are one of the top-selling pre-roll categories at Hii NYC in Brooklyn. They are hand-rolled from the same New York-grown flower the farm sells in jars, which means the joint you light up is filled with the real strain, not shake, trim, or reclaim from lower-tier batches.

The rolling process starts with flower ground to a medium consistency, fine enough to pack uniformly but coarse enough to keep the airflow open. The paper is an unbleached, slow-burning hemp or rice blend that does not overwhelm the terpene profile with ashy notes, and each joint gets a tapered crutch that holds shape through the final third without canoeing.

Rolling pressure is the detail that separates a decent pre-roll from a great one. Back Home Farm packs their joints firm enough to hold a clean white ash but loose enough that every hit pulls smoothly, which is why their pre-rolls consistently score well on burn reviews from customers walking out of Williamsburg and Bay Ridge with a single or a multi-pack.

Pre-Roll Quality Checklist

  • Hand-rolled with the same jarred flower, not shake
  • Unbleached paper chosen for neutral taste and slow burn
  • Tapered crutch for structural integrity and smooth airflow
  • Rolling pressure tuned for clean white ash
  • Single-gram and 0.5-gram multi-pack sizes available
  • Strain-labeled with indica, sativa, or hybrid classification

Cultivation

Cultivation Philosophy

Back Home Farm approaches cannabis the way a certified-organic vegetable farm approaches heirloom produce, because that is literally what they are. Cannabis runs use sun-grown plots and greenhouse cultivation with Hudson Valley soil, crop rotation, and no synthetic chemicals at any stage of the cycle. It is a slower, more disciplined way to grow cannabis, and the trade-off is flower that actually reflects the season it was pulled from.

Back Home Farm inputs stay clean across the board. Compost, organic amendments, and carefully timed feedings replace the synthetic-salt programs common in rushed commercial grows. Integrated pest management is preventative rather than reactive, which keeps the final flower clean on testing without relying on harsh interventions late in the cycle.

Harvest timing and trim discipline are where Back Home Farm really separates. Plants are pulled based on trichome maturity, hand-trimmed with care rather than machine-blasted, and slow-dried before a multi-week cure. That patience is why the flower still smells loud the third time you open the jar, and why the heritage strain library comes across clearly on both sides of a bowl and a pre-roll.

Growing Standards

  • Certified-organic Hudson Valley farm
  • Sun-grown and greenhouse cannabis cultivation
  • Crop rotation and clean soil inputs, no synthetic chemicals
  • Preventative integrated pest management
  • Trichome-based harvest timing and meticulous hand-trimming
  • Slow dry + multi-week cure before packaging
  • Every batch lab-tested for NY OCM compliance

Genetics

Strain Library

Back Home Farm focuses on heritage cannabis genetics, the classics that built the culture before the last decade of hype-cycle crosses. Specific availability shifts batch to batch, but the lineup below represents recurring cultivars customers at Hii NYC Brooklyn can expect across jarred flower and hand-rolled pre-rolls.

Super Lemon Haze

Sativa-dominant hybrid

Crisp, citrus-forward, almost spritzy on the nose, with a bright and functional head lift. A Back Home Farm calling card and one of the recurring strains in both their jarred flower and pre-roll rotations.

Northern Lights

Indica

The classic night-time indica. Sweet, earthy, and heavily relaxing. Back Home Farm runs Northern Lights in both flower and pre-roll form, honoring its status as a heritage genetic rather than chasing trend strains.

Jack Herer

Sativa-dominant hybrid

Pine and pepper on the nose with a clear, uplifting head high. A strain built around creative focus and daytime productivity, and a staple in the Back Home Farm heritage lineup.

Acapulco Gold

Sativa

A true heritage sativa with earthy, spicy, and slightly toffee-like notes. Back Home Farm runs Acapulco Gold as a jarred flower and pre-roll option, which is rare on modern NY menus.

Train Wreck

Sativa-dominant hybrid

Pungent, piney, and sharply uplifting. A high-energy daytime strain that rewards a short session, and a good example of Back Home Farm's commitment to growing the genetics that defined cannabis before the Cookies era.

White Widow / Maui Wowie

Pre-roll classics

Back Home Farm's pre-roll rotation also features classic genetics like White Widow and Maui Wowie, rolled by hand and tuned for a slow, clean burn. Availability shifts, so ask the budtender what is on the shelf today.

Key Takeaway

Buying local means fresher cannabis, supporting New York farmers, and strengthening the legal market in your own state.
