What Makes a Small Batch Weed Brand Different? Inside the Silly Nice Process
At Silly Nice, we take pride in being a small batch weed brand born in New York. But what exactly does "small batch" mean—and why does it matter?
For us, small batch is about care, control, and community. It means we keep our production tight so every jar, ball, cart, and gram we release reflects the values we built this company on: consistency, flavor, strength, and honesty. We launched Silly Nice in March 2024 with a mission to make cannabis that's good, fair, and thoughtfully made. A year later, we're proud to still be doing things our way—and staying true to the process that got us here.
Quality Over Quantity
Small batch isn’t just a marketing term. It’s how we protect the integrity of everything we produce. From sourcing to packaging, we limit our production runs to ensure that every product meets our exacting standards. That means rejecting ingredients or inputs that don’t meet the mark. If it’s not something we’d smoke ourselves, it doesn’t make it into a Silly Nice jar.
That’s why our Diamond Powder—a 100% THC crystalline concentrate—has consistently ranked in the Top 5 cannabis concentrates in New York. And it’s why our Frosted Hash Balls, Bubble Hash, Frosted Flower, and Infused Flowerkeep selling out across the state. With each drop, we start small and scale only when we’re confident that quality can keep up.
Craftsmanship in Every Step
A big difference between mass-produced weed and what we do is in the hands-on approach. There’s no assembly line churning out thousands of units a day. Our team is involved in every stage—from selecting clean flower to applying the finishing touches. It’s a slow, meticulous process, but that’s where the magic happens.
Our Frosted Flower, for example, begins with premium indoor-grown bud that’s dusted with Diamond Powder and lightly sauced with live resin for maximum terpene retention. It’s sticky, potent, and full of flavor because we don’t rush it. We don’t outsource the core steps, and we don’t cut corners. The final product speaks for itself—loud, smooth, and incredibly effective.
Transparency Matters
Being small allows us to be more transparent. We know exactly what’s in each product because we’re directly involved in making it. Our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are publicly available on sillynice.com/menu, so anyone can see our testing results, cannabinoid percentages, and terpene profiles.
We believe you should know what you’re putting in your body. That’s why we avoid synthetic additives and stick with cannabis-derived terpenes in our vapes and concentrates. It costs more, takes longer, and is harder to scale—but it’s worth it.
Supporting Local, Not MSOs
We’re proud to be a Black and Veteran-owned brand that makes weed in New York for New Yorkers. We work with local processors, cultivators, and dispensaries—not massive out-of-state operators. This means our products aren’t just made here—they help support the economic growth of our communities.
We see firsthand how multi-state operators (MSOs) flood the market with mass-produced products at lower costs, often undercutting smaller brands. But what they can’t replicate is our approach. We’ve had copycats try to mimic our Diamond Powder without even renaming it—but none have cracked the Top 10 in New York. That’s because the difference is in the details.
Built to Earn Your Trust
Small batch also means we move closer to our customers. We listen when you tell us what’s working. We adjust when something needs improvement. And when we launch something new, like our 1G Vape Carts or 2G All-In-One Vapes, we do it with your feedback in mind.
We know that budtenders and regulars are the heartbeat of this industry. Your word of mouth built Silly Nice. We never take that for granted. That’s why our products are priced fairly, designed for versatility, and available only in licensed New York dispensaries. Whether you’re dabbing our concentrates, topping off a bowl, or just looking for something smooth to roll with—we’ve got something that hits the spot.
Why It All Matters
Choosing small batch is about more than just weed. It’s about valuing craftsmanship, community, and clarity. At Silly Nice, we're building something that reflects who we are—New York-made, locally focused, and here for the long haul. We’re not chasing trends. We’re creating classics.
So whether you’ve been rocking with us from day one or you’re just discovering our jars on dispensary shelves, we appreciate you. Thanks for helping us grow without compromising what matters most.
