Grön
Grön‘s founder and CEO is Christine Smith. Once upon a time, she was an architect. She’s also a mom. She created Grön in 2015 in her kitchen to empower people to change the way they feel by making world-class cannabis edibles. It turns out chocolate was just the thing. What started as one dark chocolate bar has since expanded to multiple product lines, available internationally, serving millions of happy customers. Find Grön in Arizona, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Canada, and launching in New York.

Designed for both form and function, it features dual water wells—one for flowers and one for smoking—along with a silicone ring that provides padding and helps seal in odor. Each piece also includes a limited-edition marker, a discreet detail distinguishing it as one of the first 500.
Ravens View Genetics
At Ravens View Genetics, their legacy as dedicated growers and breeders of rare landrace strains of cannabis spans over 22 years. In 2015, the sudden loss of their daughter, Nina Keona, left the founders searching for meaning and purpose. As told, through a medium, Nina conveyed a message to her father Michael: “when you see the black bird, it is me, coming to you”. This inspired them to create a cannabis business that honored Nina’s passion for holistic health and her love for the plant. Thus, Ravens View Genetics was born, guided by the wisdom of nature’s pure heirloom genetics and Nina’s spirit as their Raven watching over them.
