New York Governor Signs Bills To Expand State’s Marijuana Farmers Market Program With ‘Pop-Up’ Events

The governor of New York has signed a pair of companion bills into law that build on the state’s marijuana farmers market program, allowing expanded partnerships between licensed cannabis businesses and standalone “pop-up” events.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) gave final approval to the bills from Sen. Michelle Hinchey (D) and Assemblymember Donna Lupardo (D) on Thursday.

New York initially authorized cannabis farmers market events in 2023, aiming to expedite consumers access as traditional retailers were being approved and help producers bring their products directly to market. Last December, Hochul separately signed legislation to revive the program after it sunsetted in January 2024.
