What Is the Quick Answer?
Terp Bros NYC sources every product on shelf from New York-licensed OCM-approved producers with current COAs on file, preferring NY-grown flower and NY-made extracts, edibles, and pre-rolls. The menu rotates based on quality, consistency, and customer demand. Regular feature brands include Terp Bros pre-rolls, Dogwalkers, MFNY, Silly Nice, Flamer, Hudson Cannabis, and Ayrloom. Stay Melo is an Astoria-only feature.
Every batch is lab-tested under NY OCM standards, tracked in BioTrack, and sold in child-resistant tamper-evident packaging under license OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park). The sourcing standard is identical at the Astoria flagship (36-10 Ditmars Blvd) and the Ozone Park shop (135-26 Cross Bay Blvd).
What Is the Longer Story?
Sourcing at Terp Bros starts with a basic filter: is this produced legally in New York, tested by a state-certified lab, and good enough that our own budtenders would personally smoke, eat, or vape it. If all three boxes are not checked, the product does not make the shelf. That editorial posture is why brands rotate in and out, why some sit on shelf for a year, and why we do not carry everything a distributor offers.
NY-grown flower is the anchor category. New York has a growing base of licensed cultivators, from small craft operations in the Hudson Valley to larger outfits in Western New York. We buy across that range. Hudson Cannabis, MFNY, and several smaller growers rotate through the flower shelf depending on what is freshest and most potent.
Edibles and pre-rolls follow a similar discipline. Dogwalkers are a steady pre-roll feature because the form factor is clean and the quality is consistent. Ayrloom edibles (gummies, beverages) sit on shelf because the dosing is predictable. Silly Nice and Flamer rotate in for infused options and novel formats. The Astoria shop also carries Carmelo Anthony's Stay Melo brand, which is an Astoria-only feature.
What Is Our Detailed Answer?
Detailed sourcing at Terp Bros runs on five filters: licensed origin (NY OCM-approved producer only), current lab COA (every batch, no exceptions), packaging compliance (child-resistant and tamper-evident), product quality (budtender-approved after internal review), and customer demand signal (we track what sells and what does not). The menu posted on the menu reflects the current result of those filters.
Every batch on shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM standards for THC and CBD content, pesticides, residual solvents, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbial contamination. We keep COAs on file for every product and will pull them at the counter if a customer asks. That transparency is part of why we trust the menu and why customers trust us to tell them what is good.
We also decline products that technically pass the lab test but fail our quality review. Some flower comes in with correct THC numbers but looks dry or has a weak terpene profile. We send it back. Some gummies have correct dosing but taste bad or melt in summer heat. We skip them. The lab test is a floor, not a ceiling.
What You Can Expect
Customers can expect a curated menu of NY-grown and NY-made product, a rotating shelf that reflects what is genuinely good right now, budtender recommendations rooted in what they personally use, prices that reflect the legal supply chain rather than inflated margins, and packaging that shows the batch, lab, and manufacture date on every item.
A clean, welcoming retail space. Budtenders who ask what you actually want from the product. Prices posted openly on our menu. Receipts with license numbers. Delivery when you can't make it in.

What Are Related Questions?
Queens shoppers frequently ask whether we stock out-of-state brands (no, NY-licensed only), whether we have lab results (yes, for every batch), how often the menu changes (flower rotates weekly, edibles and vapes less often), and whether specific brands are carried at both shops (most are shared, but Stay Melo is Astoria-only and a few other brands are shop-specific).
Are you open on holidays? Yes, with adjusted hours. Check the homepage for current schedule.
Do you take cash only? We accept cash and debit. ATMs on site.
Can I call ahead? Yes, call either location for stock checks or product questions.
Do you deliver? Yes, Queens-wide from both shops.
Is all your flower grown in New York? Yes. Every flower product is from a NY OCM-licensed cultivator.
Can I see the lab test for a product? Yes. Ask the budtender and we will pull the COA.
Why do some brands rotate out? Quality inconsistency, packaging issues, pricing changes, or demand shifts.
Do you stock products you do not personally use? Occasionally, if the lab numbers and customer demand support it, but the default is we stock what we trust.
What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About Sourcing
First-time Queens shoppers should know that every product at Terp Bros starts with NY-licensed origin and lab-tested status, that the menu reflects an editorial choice rather than a distributor dump, and that asking the budtender "what is actually good this week" will get a better answer than reading shelf tags. Every batch is lab-tested under NY OCM standards; COAs are available on request.
The menu rotates. Flower moves the fastest, because it has a real freshness window. A jar of flower two months past harvest is still legal and tested, but terpenes degrade and the experience suffers. We try to keep flower moving. Pre-rolls and vapes have longer shelf lives. Edibles have the longest stability window. Understand the rotation and you will understand why a specific strain might not be in store next week.
First-timers should also lean on the Stay Melo and Dogwalkers brand tiers. Stay Melo is the Astoria-only feature and sits at accessible price points. Dogwalkers' 1-gram pre-rolls are a clean starter because the dose is single-session and the format is familiar. Both options skip the complexity of flower-and-paper if you are new to legal retail.
How Sourcing Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
Sourcing at Terp Bros is consistent across both shops, but the stock mix tilts to match neighborhood demand. Astoria shoppers gravitate toward craft flower, Stay Melo (which is Astoria-only), and the higher-end concentrates. Ozone Park shoppers lean toward pre-rolls, edibles, and vapes with better price-per-mg. Both shops carry the core Hudson Cannabis, MFNY, Dogwalkers, Silly Nice, Flamer, and Ayrloom lineup.
Astoria's Ditmars Blvd customer base includes a lot of creative-class residents, N/W commuters, and Hallets Point tenants who shop the upper end of the menu. The LIC and Sunnyside customers coming in also lean toward craft and limited-drop jars. That is why the craft-flower and premium-concentrate rotation moves faster at the Astoria shop.
Ozone Park's Cross Bay Blvd customer base includes Howard Beach families, Lindenwood residents, Rockaway commuters up the A train, and JFK-area workers. The mix skews toward value pricing and convenient formats: multi-pack pre-rolls, 100mg gummy packages, half-gram vape carts. We stock deeper in those categories at Ozone Park because that is what moves.
What Budtenders Hear Most About Sourcing
Budtenders hear "what is good this week," "do you have the thing I bought last time," "is this grown here in New York," "why is this one more expensive," and "can you show me the lab test" on repeat. The answers: ask us directly because the menu rotates, we can check BioTrack for recent batches, yes everything is NY-grown or NY-made, price reflects craft vs. industrial supply, and yes we can pull the COA.
"What is good this week" is the best question we get. Budtenders at both Astoria and Ozone Park track what they personally like from the current flow. Fresh Hudson Cannabis drops get flagged. New Ayrloom flavors get a taste test. MFNY limited batches get noted. The answer changes by the week because the stock changes by the week.
"Is this grown here" confirms the sourcing story. Yes. Every flower product we sell is from a NY OCM-licensed cultivator. Yes, we verify the license before we order. Yes, the batch-tracking on the package ties back to a specific grower and harvest date. That traceability is the reason the product is trustworthy. Some customers also ask about specific farm practices (indoor vs. greenhouse, organic inputs, etc.) and we answer those case-by-case from vendor documentation.
Which Cultivators and Processors Anchor the Weekly Rotation?
The anchor set of NY cultivators and processors that rotate most frequently at Terp Bros includes MFNY (premium flower, concentrates, vapes), Hudson Cannabis (small-batch flower), Silly Nice (flower and concentrates), Fitzgerald (flower and pre-rolls), Flamer (flower and infused pre-rolls), Ayrloom (gummies, drinks, tinctures, vapes), and Dogwalkers (small-format pre-rolls). National brands that appear as permitted under NY OCM rules include Wana, Kiva, Incredibles, Gron, Matter, Wyld, Rythm, Select, and Cann.
Every partner on that list holds its own NY OCM or reciprocal license and passes Part 113 lab panels before product reaches the Terp Bros shelf. Indoor-grown, greenhouse, and outdoor flower all appear across the week with clear labeling on each jar. Some Queens shoppers favor indoor for trichome density and terpene expression, others favor greenhouse or outdoor for value and a lower environmental footprint. Budtenders can walk through the cultivation method on any current jar at either store.
How Do Regenerative and Sustainable Practices Factor In?
Where verifiable, Terp Bros favors cultivators who disclose their growing practices, including integrated pest management, reduced-input fertility programs, and lower-energy greenhouse approaches. Hudson Cannabis and select NY small-batch farms document their practices publicly. We do not make claims beyond what the cultivator publishes, because NY OCM does not currently issue a formal "organic" or "regenerative" certification for cannabis.
For shoppers who prioritize environmental impact, asking a budtender for greenhouse or outdoor-grown flower is the practical filter. Indoor cannabis has a higher energy footprint per gram due to lighting and climate control; greenhouse and outdoor reduce that. Concentrate shoppers who prioritize solventless processing can ask about live rosin options that use only ice, water, heat, and pressure rather than solvents. Every sourcing decision stays inside the CAURD license framework under OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park), and every claim is tied to publicly verifiable cultivator documentation rather than marketing copy.
