Queens Rooftops to Brooklyn Basements
Farmacy NYC started as a quiet rebellion in the concrete jungle. Fresh out of D.C. policy circles, she left congressional briefings behind for compost teas and cover crops—balancing spreadsheets by day and hand-mixing KNF inputs by night.
Roots Run Deep
Born into a Gujarati farming family, Farmacy NYC carried soil in her DNA. In 2018, she germinated her first seeds in a Queens closet grow—armed with microbes, a microscope, and instinct. “If the soil’s alive, the plant will sing,” she wrote in her first IG caption.
Farmacy Is Born
By 2020, Farmacy NYC was official. The name was medicine and movement. Pop-ups in Queens parks handed out free seeds. Aunties and uncles learned how to brew worm tea. Her mission? Equal parts science and soul. #LivingSoilLivingTheDream.
Legacy to Licensed
By late 2023, Farmacy NYC flower hit licensed shelves through a microbatch partnership with a regenerative upstate farm. Modified Grapes and Bacio moved fast at Gotham and Terp Bros—bringing legacy ethics into compliance-era craft.
Community First
From Desi Cannabis Collective meetups to Girls Who Grow workshops, Farmacy NYC didn’t just build a brand—she built a circle. “We’re not just growing plants. We’re growing people,” she says.
Craft Over Clout
No auto-feeders. No shortcuts. Every cola is hand-trimmed. Every jar is a terroir time capsule. Living soil isn’t a marketing line—it’s the entire mission.
The Desi Dream
In June 2025, Farmacy NYC hosted the Desi Cannabis Collective reunion in Manhattan—spotlighting South Asian growers and cultural roots. From chai-infused KNF brews to Punjabi playlists in the trim room, Pari keeps the vision rooted.
Cultivator. Educator. Culture Shifter.
Farmacy NYC is more than a label. It’s a soil-first philosophy in motion. She turned a closet grow into a cultural blueprint for regenerative cannabis in the Big Apple. She’s not scaling. She’s staying small, staying loud, and staying real.
Farmacy NYC: Living Soil. Living Legacy. 🪴
