What Nanticoke means at the Terp Bros counter.

Nanticoke is the NY-native anchor at Terp Bros, Endicott, NY-grown cannabis from one of the most diverse legacy-to-legal portfolios in the state. The brand runs flower, pre-rolls, vapes and edibles. For Queens shoppers, Nanticoke is what gets reached for when the question is 'what's actually grown in New York?', and the answer matters, because NY's small-batch cultivation regulations require in-state grow, in-state processing, and in-state-licensed lab testing. Both Astoria on Ditmars and Ozone Park on Cross Bay stock the line, and it's a consistent shelf presence rather than a tight-allocation specialty drop. The brand's origin story is the legacy-to-legal arc: brothers Chip and Pete Shafer started with an industrial hemp license in 2017 in partnership with Binghamton University, formalized Nanticoke Hemp Inc in 2019, and received the NY Adult Use Conditional Cultivation License in May 2022 followed by the Processing License in December 2022. That makes them one of the earliest legal NY operators. Format range, NY provenance, and OCM compliance, Nanticoke checks all three boxes at once.

Why it lives at Terp Bros

Nanticoke fills the NY-native slot at both Terp Bros stores, the answer when a Queens shopper asks for flower (or anything) actually grown in New York. Endicott NY cultivation, NY processing license, NY OCM testing all the way through. Format diversity is the other reason: flower jars, pre-rolls, vape carts and edibles all sit under one brand, so a customer who wants consistency across categories can stay inside the Nanticoke catalog. Nanticoke was cultivating under a Conditional Cultivation License from May 2022. Astoria (Ditmars) and Ozone Park (Cross Bay).

Nanticoke flower jars on the Terp Bros wall are the NY-grown statement piece, Endicott NY cultivation, indoor structure, the NY-tested compliance seal stamped right on the package. It's the cleanest answer to the 'what's the actually-local pick?' question and the jar a Queens shopper grabs when state-of-origin matters as much as cultivar identity does.

Out of New York, on the Queens shelf today.

Nanticoke originated in 2017 in New York. Like every brand on our wall, it earned its spot only after passing the New York OCM compliance lab and our buyer’s shelf review. What lands at Astoria and Ozone Park is the same formulation the brand makes everywhere, held to the same independent test we hold our Hudson Valley growers to.

05 · Frequently asked

What folks ask about Nanticoke.

Q.01Is Nanticoke sold in New York?

Yes, Nanticoke is a New York cannabis brand based in Endicott, NY, founded by brothers Chip and Pete Shafer. The company holds NY Adult Use Conditional Cultivation (granted May 2022) and Processing (granted December 2022) licenses, making it one of the earliest legal operators in the state. Terp Bros stocks the line at both Queens locations, Astoria at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd and Ozone Park at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. SKU availability rotates by drop across flower, pre-rolls, vapes and edibles, with consistent shelf presence rather than tight specialty allocations. Check the live menu for today's lineup.

Q.02What categories does Nanticoke make at Terp Bros?

Nanticoke is one of the most format-diverse NY brands on the Terp Bros menu, flower, pre-rolls, vapes and edibles all run under the same label. Flower jars are the anchor product (Endicott NY indoor cultivation) with pre-rolls feeding from the same flower lineup. Vapes cover 510-thread cartridges using Nanticoke-grown material. Edibles meet the NY OCM cap of 10mg THC per serving and 100mg per pack. The portfolio breadth is part of why budtenders point shoppers to Nanticoke when someone wants consistency across multiple format needs, flower for the jar, a pack of pre-rolls for the week, a vape for portable use, all under one NY-grown brand.

Q.03Is Nanticoke NY OCM compliant?

Yes, completely. Nanticoke holds both the NY Adult Use Conditional Cultivation License (granted May 2022) and the NY Processing License (granted December 2022), so the brand operates inside the state's regulatory framework from cultivation through processing to distribution. Every product on either Terp Bros shelf passed NY OCM lab testing, full panel for cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins and residual solvents. As a NY-native operator, Nanticoke's compliance pipeline was built specifically to NY rules rather than retrofitted from another state's framework. NY-tested label on every package, COAs at the counter on request.

Q.04Nanticoke vs other NY-grown flower at Terp Bros?

Nanticoke sits in the NY-native small-batch tier and competes on format diversity that few other NY brands match. Versus out-of-state brands that came into NY through partnerships (like Kiva, Jetty or Miss Grass), Nanticoke is fully NY-grown, NY-processed and NY-owned, start to finish in the state. Versus other NY-grown cultivators, Nanticoke's catalog breadth (flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles all under one label) is unusual; most NY brands focus on one or two formats. Early-licensed status (Conditional Cultivation from May 2022) means the brand has more harvest cycles of NY-specific operational learning than newer operators. Pick Nanticoke for NY provenance plus catalog range.
