Our story
Brothers Chip and Pete Shafer transformed their family's horticultural legacy into one of New York's most exciting cannabis brands. Born and raised in Endicott, NY, their story reflects the working-class spirit of the Southern Tier region, where their father worked at the iconic Endicott-Johnson shoe factory and later IBM.The Shafer brothers established Nanticoke Hemp Inc in 2019, beginning their cannabis journey with CBD processing. This early success laid the foundation for their transition into adult-use cannabis. In May 2022, Nanticoke was awarded an Adult Use Conditional Cultivation license, marking their official entry into New York's legal cannabis market with successful greenhouse and outdoor cultivation.The pivotal moment came in December 2022 when they secured an Adult Use Conditional Processing license, enabling them to produce extract concentrates and expand their product portfolio. Their commitment to excellence led them to develop a diverse portfolio of cannabis genetics, from photoperiod strains to auto-flower genetics sourced from top breeders, reflecting their careful balance of quality and innovation.
