Their product lineup continues to expand with new varieties including Sundae Punch, Cake Bake, and Cornbread.The company embraces sustainable cultivation practices, utilizing advanced LED lighting technology with remote power systems that reduce heat production and energy consumption by up to 65%. This commitment to sustainability earned them a significant energy rebate through the NJ Clean Energy Program, showcasing their dedication to environmental responsibility while delivering premium cannabis products to dispensaries throughout New Jersey.
Hamilton Farms sprouted from a seaside conversation in 2021 when two friends, Rahul Patel and Kunal Lodaya, discussed New Jersey's cannabis legalization while vacationing at the Jersey Shore. As first-generation Indian Americans with entrepreneurial aspirations, they recognized a golden opportunity to create something meaningful in their home state.The journey wasn't easy—they invested everything, including family savings and retirement funds, securing three mortgages to bring their vision to life. Their families embraced the venture, combining resources in a leap of faith that exemplifies their tight-knit cultural values.In March 2022, Hamilton Farms became one of the first recipients of New Jersey's adult-use cannabis conditional licenses. After earning their annual license in October 2022, they completed construction of their state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Millville, receiving regulatory approval to begin growing in December 2023.Their inaugural harvest reached dispensary shelves in April 2024 just in time for the 4/20 celebration, marking them as the smallest craft cannabis cultivator in New Jersey to successfully bring products to market. Despite their modest 3,500-square-foot canopy, they've established partnerships with numerous dispensaries across the Garden State, emphasizing quality over quantity while creating a truly local alternative to multi-state operators.
