The Finger Lakes region, named after its long, narrow, and finger-like lakes, is located in upstate New York. This area has a unique microclimate, with the lakes acting as natural temperature regulators, creating favorable conditions for agriculture, including cannabis cultivation. The terroir of the Finger Lakes is renowned for its fertile soils, abundant rainfall, and moderate climate, making it an ideal environment for growing a variety of crops.
The history of cannabis cultivation in the Finger Lakes region traces back to the 1960s and 1970s, when an underground cannabis culture began to emerge. The area's remote and secluded nature made it an attractive location for cannabis growers seeking to cultivate their plants discreetly. Many of these legacy cannabis growers were drawn to the region because of its fertile land, favorable climate, and a community that embraced alternative practices.
