MFNY

MFNY operates from New Windsor, New York, in the Hudson Valley, a site the brand describes as about 60 miles north of New York City. Its own homepage calls its products single-source, made in the Hudson Valley.

Three separate but linked New York State cannabis licenses cover the same operation: an Adult-Use Cultivator license, an Adult-Use Processor license, and an Adult-Use Distributor license. MFNY publishes its cultivator and processor license numbers directly on its own site.

MFNY's co-founders are Michael Kandhorov and Natalia Kaminskaya. Before MFNY, Kandhorov built and scaled ventures across real estate development and financial markets. Kaminskaya has led facility and operations management, talent acquisition, and brand marketing for six years.

The company did not start as a licensed cannabis operation. It was initially established as Hemp Farms of New York, focused on CBD, before expanding into licensed adult-use cannabis once New York opened that market.

MFNY's greenhouses use coco coir instead of peat moss as the growing medium, and the site draws water from an on-site deep bedrock well system designed to avoid straining the municipal water supply.

Pest management relies on predatory insects, specifically praying mantises, rather than chemical pesticides. Lead grower Ian Dyche has described the standard applied to the plants this way: he treats them like they are living at the Olympic Training Center.

The operation maintains a genetics library of more than 100 strains, rotating 10 to 16 of them into major production at any given time, which the brand positions as a genetics-first approach rather than a fixed set of core products.

MFNY describes using live rosin and live resin across its non-flower products on its own site, rather than distillate.

Trade press coverage of the operation independently describes the extraction philosophy as full-spectrum, preserving cannabinoids and terpenes rather than isolating THC the way distillate does. Together, the two sources point to the same no-distillate position.

MFNY holds three linked New York State cannabis licenses: an Adult-Use Cultivator license (OCM-CULT-24-000176), an Adult-Use Processor license (OCM-PROC-24-000175), and an Adult-Use Distributor license, all tied to the same Hudson Valley operation.

The processor license alone covers extraction, infusing and blending, and packaging, labeling, and branding, meaning MFNY's own facility handles the finishing steps in-house rather than through a separate contract manufacturer. MFNY calls the resulting structure seed-to-shelf, a uniquely Single Source cannabis operation.

MFNY's Hash Burger placed first for Best Non-Distillate Vapes at the 2026 New York Cannabis Cup, per High Times' coverage of the event. The brand also placed third for Best Edibles that year, though the specific product for that award was not named in the source article.

MFNY's own press page also lists feature coverage beyond formal awards, including a cannabis exhibition by artist Puppies Puppies that MFNY presented, along with mentions in Forbes and GreenState. No award or feature naming MFNY was found from MJBizDaily or Green Market Report in the research behind this page.
