Moriches hemp farm says it won't make the neighborhood go to pot
Ryan Andoos started growing hemp at his farm, Route 27 Hemp Yard, about six months ago, after receiving authorization to join New York State's industrial hemp pilot program. Some neighbors of Andoos' 5-acre farm have complained that they get headaches from the smell of the plants. Local officials said the farm, where Andoos also grows hops to sell to craft beer producers, is not breaking any laws. Credit: Newsday / Steve Pfost
