Our Mission
When it comes to cultivating cannabis, there are many ways to get quality products to the consumer. At Aeterna, we know it’s a difficult path to build a sustainable cannabis business that is continually striving toward greener practices. To us, it’s worth it. Our dedicated team is committed to putting people and the planet before profits. We want to pave the way towards a successful, long-lasting cannabis industry that gives more than it takes.
Aeterna, meaning “eternal” in Latin, encompasses our desire to create everlasting life, not just for our company, but for the Earth as a whole. We want the generations of tomorrow to grow from the seeds we sow today. Cannabis brands may come and go, but the footprint they leave behind lives on.
Our Story
Formerly New York Hemp Service, Aeterna has fully transitioned from growing hemp for the past 4 years to cannabis in 2022. This change came swiftly back in April when we were one of the first 52 hemp farms in New York State to be granted an Adult-Use Conditional Cultivator License.
Fully equipped for the big transition, our cannabis operation is now in full swing. With our unique setup, we’re able to grow year-round, harvesting flower 4-5 times a year. We have the space and tools necessary to grow at-scale and expand in the future.

How We Grow
Leveraging our experience with hemp cultivation:
We have four years of experience growing hemp. We have complete control over temperature, light, water, humidity, nutrients, and CO2. Our organic growing practices are free of pesticides and heavy metals. We are experienced in large-scale drying, trimming, and curing techniques for immediate preservation of product. We have designed a daily grow-team checklist that is used to maintain an intensive level of care for each individual plant. Our use of personal protective equipment as well as sterilization techniques to prevent mold and pest infestation set us apart from other cultivators.
Creating a diverse and custom-tailored selection:
We experiment with diverse genetics and clone banks in order to cultivate the best possible products, emphasizing unique terpene profiles and balanced cannabinoids. We analyze phenotypes that have the strongest/most desired genetic traits, properly identify “mother” plants for cloning processes, and use selective breeding techniques to find consistent cultivars.
Sustainability Efforts
Our goal is to explore methodologies that reduce energy consumption, increase carbon sequestration, reuse and recycle available nutrient streams to produce the highest quality product possible. We want to service the segment of the market that prioritizes a more environmentally conscious product.
We are currently experimenting with recycling wastewater from our sister facility, one of North America’s largest sustainable RAS farms. The recycled wastewater from the fish is sent to our reverse osmosis filtration system where it is purified. We then add our own ratio of nutrients and send the water to our cannabis plants via drip systems.
Our Focus On Quality
We assure top-quality by:
- Implementing similar phenotype-hunting techniques from our hemp farm;
- Researching the best genetics and most reliable clone sources available;
- Investing in top quality lights, hoods, and reflectors to enhance cannabinoid and terpene profiles;
- Ensuring water quality from clone to harvest through filtration efforts;
- Securing space for proper ventilation with use of fans; and,
- Applying sufficient nutrient supplementation from innovative brands.
Award Winning Hemp
Our award-winning hemp flower has been recognized for its superior quality among peers in the industry. FLWR CITY hosts an annual “Harvest Cup” hemp flower competition in New York State, curated to build community and raise funds for reinvestment in community development initiatives.
This premiere event draws stakeholders from across the State of New York. In 2020, New York Hemp Service (Aeterna) was the Harvest Cup runner-up (2nd place winner overall competition) as well as category winners for “Best Look” and “Best Resin.”
In 2021, we won FLWR CITY’s People’s Choice competition for “Best Taste” with our Bubba Kush cultivar.
