From Hemp to Advocacy: Empowering Cannabis Farming in New York | New York's Business Podcast

This week on New York's Business Podcast, we’re diving into the world of sustainable farming and advocacy with Ryan Andoos, co-owner of Route 27 Hemp Yard — Long Island’s largest outdoor cannabis farm! 🌿 Ryan’s journey into the hemp/cannabis industry is as inspiring as it is unexpected. A passionate horticulturist at heart, Ryan never set out to be in this space, but his love for plants and sustainable farming led him to create a 13 acre farm that’s not only ethical and organic but also pivotal in shaping the future of hemp and cannabis in New York. At Route 27 Hemp Yard, Ryan and his team grow more than just cannabis. Their vast hemp crops are used for a variety of innovative products, showcasing the versatility of this incredible plant. But Ryan’s impact goes beyond farming. As the Long Island Chairman of the Cannabis Association of NY (CANY) and an advocate for small farmers, he’s been at the forefront of lobbying efforts, working tirelessly to update outdated cannabis classifications and protect the rights of small-scale growers. From trips to Albany with the LI Farm Bureau to championing sustainability in every aspect of his farm, Ryan’s dedication is paving the way for a brighter, greener future for the industry. 🌍 🎧 Tune in to hear Ryan share his journey, the challenges of being a small farmer in a rapidly growing industry, and how he’s using his platform to make a difference.
