LAZY DAY FARM
In 2020, Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York at the time, announced the development of the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), and Kiley Thompson, the owner of Lazy Day Farm, jumped at the opportunity to leave his ‘legacy” days behind, and become a part of the legal world.
After being a part of the first graduating class of Cannabis Cultivation at Syracuse University, Kiley paired his 15 years of legacy growing with a business plan that included all the projects Lazy Day Farm produces. The result? In November of 2023, Lazy Day Farm was in the first round of applicants to be a Cannabis Microbusiness. One year later, the farm was approved, and in June of 2025, a license was acquired! The plan included a platform for all the local legacy growers to become involved.
Within weeks, word got out, and the Catskills Cup crew became a strong supporter. Over time, specialists were assigned projects, and by the end of June, roughly 280 plants were in the ground, and being grown organically, strictly outdoors, and each strain was chosen for its full-spectrum effects and success in previous years in our specific terroir of the great northern Catskills.
The result? Simply put, AMAZING! Our first harvest was Sapphire OG, which won 2nd place overall at the Damn Sam Cannabis Cup, the longest running coming in America. Glitterbomb did very well too! The other strains weren’t ready in time, BUT every one of them, in our humble opinion, far out shined even Sapphire!
Unfortunately, no retail sales will happen at the farm. This includes no retail deliveries. A designated retail space is required on the premises for those to happen, and being poor farmers without any investors, this will have to wait.
However, we will be able to sell to licensed dispensaries, other microbusinesses, and processors. Income will be used to build a store and a commercial kitchen. Big things are on the horizon, even beyond those two buildouts!
Below are the strains we grew in 2025.
Prices and quantities will not be listed as everything will be exclusively sold wholesale.
Chocolope is one of the most fascinating products of the marijuana industry. The strain comprises of 95% Sativa, 5% Indica, and a high concentration of THC, which makes it a high potency strain. It offers a smoky, chocolaty flavor that has an enticing effect on the smoker. Chocolope is a great strain for anybody who is looking for an anxiety reliever and appetite enhancer. With its sweet enticing aroma, the strain offers a sour treat for your senses. Generally, Chocolope does not offer any side effects which would harm the health of a smoker. However, people who are sensitive to psychedaelic or paranoia effects might need to exercise caution while using this strain. It is recommended that you consult with a specialist before taking Chocolope, especially if you are a beginner smoker. The strain has shown improvements in asthma patients and is well-known for reducing nervousness in individuals. Many asthma patients have reported positive results of using Chocolope. Beginner smokers should not take large amounts of Chocolope at the start; the strain can get you stoned. So, if you are looking for something to get really high, then Chocolope is for you. Many smokers have called this strain a blasting, euphoric experience that can make you forget everything. This is what makes Chocolope perfect for parties.
Glitter Bomb is an indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the delicious Grape. Gas X OG Kush Breath Blueberry Headband strains. Named for its gorgeous appearance and explosive high, Glitter Bomb is the perfect choice for any classic indica lover. Like its name suggests, Glitter Bomb has beautiful oversized heavy pepper-shaped nugs with dark olive green leaves, thin orange hairs, and a super glittery coating of chunky bright white crystal trichomes. As you pull apart each sparkling little nugget, aromas of skunky haze and ripe blueberries are released, all wrapped up with a hint of spicy herbs. The flavor is on the sweeter side of things, with a sweet fruity blueberry taste accented by hints of skunky flowery haze. The Glitter Bomb high smashes into your brain a few minutes after your final exhale, exploding with a sense of spacey euphoria that instantly pushes out any negative or racing thoughts, leaving you with sweet blissful nothingness. A physical relaxation comes next, settling into your entire body and leaving you totally stoned and immovable. Thanks to these effects and its super high 30-34% average THC level, Glitter Bomb is often chosen to treat a variety of conditions including headaches or migraines, chronic stress or anxiety, PTSD and depression or mood swings.
Gelato is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) strain created through a cross of the infamous Sunset Sherbet X Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies strains. This dank bud is infamous for its insanely delicious flavor and hugely powerful effects that are fueled by a THC level that hits its low point at 20% on average. Gelato has a flavor that’s said to be much like a sweet sherbet, with fruity blueberry and orange flavors. The aroma is just as sickly sweet, with a lavender citrus berry bouquet that has a woody effect as the nugs are broken apart and smoked. Although it has a tasty flavor, Gelato is definitely best loved for its effects. Even with its slight indica dominance, the high is head heavy in nature and won’t leave you sedated or couch-locked.
It starts with a cerebral head rush that hits you in the forehead with an uplifted euphoria and a sense of slightly focused energy. As this head high blissfully builds, a creeping body buzz will slowly wash over you, leaving you completely relaxed and calm with a sense of peace and well being. These powerful and. surprisingly well balanced effects make Gelato the perfect choice for patients suffering from muscle spasms, chronic pain, inflammation, chronic fatigue, and headaches or migraines. Gelato buds have large and lumpy super dense grape-shaped dark forest green nugs with rich purple and orange hairs and a super sticky coating of visible resin droplets.
Girl Scout Cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid with a strong sativa component (40:60 sativa/indica ratio). This strain can reach THC levels of up to 28%, meaning it’s one of the most potent strains available to medical marijuana patients. This strain provides the best aspects of both sativa and indica, and the high is powerful, happy, and euphoric, but with couch-lock body effects and feelings of lethargy. Girl Scout Cookies tastes sweet and earthy, and it smells much the same. It’s most effective at treating anxiety, stress, and depression, though it’s also good for appetite. This strain began as a crossbreed of OG Kush and a near-even hybrid; (Durban Poison X F1). Girl Scout Cookies first appeared in California and is now one of the most popular strains in North America. The high lasts for hours, making Girl Scout Cookies a good deal in most places.
Sapphire OG is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (85% indica/15% sativa) created through crossing the classic OG Kush X Afghan strains. Known for its insanely gorgeous appearance, Sapphire OG is a true rarity on the average market. This bud has oversized fluffy bright neon green nugs with rich blue undertones, vibrant orange hairs, and a milky coating of clear crystal trichomes that look almost blue in the right light. As you break apart each super sticky little nugget, fresh aromas of sour citrusy chocolate and pungent diesel are released. The flavor is very sweet and citrusy with a flowery skunky overtone that’s accented by heavy dark chocolate and earth upon exhale. The Sapphire OG high is just as unique as its flavor, with long lasting effects that hit both mind and body. You’ll feel the cerebral effects first, rushing through your mind and erasing any negative or racing thoughts. As your mind settles into a state of calm, your body will follow suit, dropping off into a deeply relaxed state that can leave you slightly couch-locked and sedated at times. In combination with its super high 25% average THC level, these effects give Sapphire OG an edge in treating conditions such as migraines or headaches, insomnia, chronic pain, depression, and mood swings.
Winner of the Catskills Cup 2024.
Gorilla Glue, also known as “Gorilla Glue#1” or “420 Glue” is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain created through crossing the classic Chocolate Diesel X Sour Diesel strains. This bud packs a crazy powerful high that leaves you feeling like your mind is filled with glue, all fueled by an insanely potent 25-28% average THC level. The high starts with a cerebral rush that leaves you feeling happy yet totally hazy, with no hope of focusing on anything any time soon. As your head high build and builds, your body will be washed over with a deep body buzz, leaving you feeling completely stoned and immovable. These effects last for hours on end and often end in a deep sleep for the lesser experienced. Because of these effects, Gorilla Glue is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic pain, depression, insomnia, nausea, and muscle spasms. This bud has a super sour diesel chemical flavor that’s incredibly harsh and sticks to your tongue long after you finish toking. The aroma is even more powerful, with a slightly sweet sour mocha effect that’s accented by chemical diesel. Gorilla Glue buds have small round piecey dark olive green nugs with purple undertones and a super frosty coating of tiny white crystal trichomes.
This homage to the comic book legend could turn even the Incredible Hulk into a mild-mannered everyman. It’s powerfully relaxing, with sativa-dominant genes (60:40 sativa/indica ratio) that deliver a massive dose of THC: Nearly 29% in some tests. That makes this a holy grail of sorts for patients seeking the strongest high. CBD contents, however, are low, so this is not an ideal choice for conditions that respond to that chemical. The head high is intensely euphoric, combined with strong creativity and a whole-body mood boost. Energy levels are high, making this a good daytime strain. Bruce Banner is a highly effective painkiller, but it’s also good for anxiety, depression, nausea, and sleeplessness. The dominant flavor is sweet, with notes of citrus and a strong, pungent smell. The bud has a heavily frosted appearance due to a thick layer of resinous glands.
MAC 1, also known as “Miracle Alien Cookies X1,” is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created as a backcross of the iconic MAC strain. This celebrity child takes the beloved effects of MAC and amps it up a notch to a whole new level, with a super lifted feeling that will have you flying higher and higher the more that you toke. The high starts in the head with a rushing euphoria that fills your mind with an expansive happiness, gently easing away negative or racing thoughts and replacing them with creative motivation and pure
happiness. A relaxing body high accompanies this cerebral lift, keeping you tethered to the world below as your mind soars higher and higher into outer space. In combination with its super high 20-23% average THC level, these heavy effects make MAC 1 perfect for treating those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, mood swings, chronic fatigue, depression and chronic stress. This bud has a classic sour diesel flavor with a spicy herbal overtone that’s accented by sweet citrus. The aroma is very similar, although with a heavy pungent overtone that lingers long after your final toke. MAC 1 buds have rounded fluffy dark olive green nugs with rich purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny white crystal trichomes.
This was the winner of the Empire State Cup in 2024.
Gush Mints is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the classic Kush Mints X (F1 Durbs X Gushers) strains. If you’re after an amazing flavor with a sleepy, nighttime high, Gush Mints is the perfect indica for you. Like its parent strains, Gush Mints packs a sweet and sugary berry cherry flavor with a punch of sour citrus and tangy menthol that intensifies the more that you toke. The aroma is just as heavy, with a sharp menthol overtone accented by spicy cheesy diesel and sweet fruity cherries. The Gush Mints high will settle in a few minutes after your final exhale, hitting your brain with a lifted sense of pure euphoria that’s accompanied by a heavy happiness that leaves no room for negative or racing thoughts.
A soothing body high comes next, washing over your physical form and leaving you feeling fully numb and sedated from head to toe. Combined with its 19-20% average THC level, these effects make Gush Mints a great choice for treating conditions such as appetite loss or nausea, chronic pain, depression, chronic stress and insomnia. This bud has dense and conical dusty green nugs with deep purple undertones, lots of leaves and thin orange hairs coated with tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes.
