Garden Society to manufacture Kiva products in New Jersey

Kiva Sales and Serves to distribute Garden Society products in California.

Garden Society has entered into a two-fold partnership with Kiva Confections and Kiva Sales and Service (KSS).

In California, KSS will sell and distribute Garden Society's products to retailers state-wide, while in New Jersey, Garden Society will manufacture Kiva's portfolio of award-winning edibles, such as Camino and Lost Farm gummies.

"Kiva is a best-in-class operator with a strategic view of the industry nationwide," said Erin Gore, founder and CEO of Garden Society. "We look forward to a long relationship and dedicated support of one another as we both expand into new states."

KSS will tap its extensive sales, distribution, and branding experience to elevate Garden Society's retail products to connect the company with new cannabis consumers and expand its market share.

"KSS is honored to partner with Garden Society and act as their exclusive distributor, helping bring their new product lines to the California market," said Brooks Jorgensen, president of Kiva Sales and Service. "Garden Society is known for their high quality offerings that consumers love, and we're looking forward to helping the brand reach new California consumers far and wide."

In addition to the California collaboration, later in 2023, Garden Society will manufacture all Kiva Confections products in New Jersey, beginning with the company's effects-based Camino and vegan Camino Sours gummies, with other products to follow soon after.

"We're elated by the opportunity to continue building up our partnership with Garden Society as we expand into the New Jersey market," said Kristi Palmer, co-founder of Kiva Confections. "We can't wait for consumers to discover our premium, precisely-dosed and delicious suite of edibles that so many across the U.S. have come to trust and love."
