New York’s cannabis edibles landscape just got an ethical upgrade. Grön, the first cannabis chocolate brand to earn Fair Trade certification, has launched its premium chocolate bars line in the Empire State, bringing ethically sourced cocoa and precisely dosed cannabinoids to discerning consumers who care about both effects and origins.
Four Flavors, Four Different Experiences
The lineup reads like a carefully curated selection:
- Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Daytime Sativa – blends a 3:1 CBG-to-THC ratio designed for focus and energy (CBG being the energizing cannabinoid that works similarly to caffeine for your endocannabinoid system)
- Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Sleepy Indica – featuring a 1:1:1 blend of CBD, CBN, and THC that targets rest and recovery
- Milk chocolate for daytime uplift (pure THC)
- Dark chocolate for nighttime relaxation (pure THC)
Local Manufacturing, Global Impact
Acquiring a New York processor license wasn’t just about market access—it gave Grön complete control over local production while creating manufacturing jobs. Every 100mg package rolling off the Hauppauge facility contains Fair Trade cocoa, meaning farmers in developing countries receive better wages and community investment funds. You’ll find these bars at select dispensaries including:
- Strain Stars Long Island
- The Travel Agency
- Curaleaf Hudson Valley
Chocolate as Cannabis Heritage
“Our chocolates were the first product I made when I started Grön almost 10 years ago, and they are at the heart of what we do,” Apple explains. That foundation shows in the careful attention to both cannabis dosing and chocolate quality—each bar maintains consistent potency whether you choose full-size or mini formats. The Fair Trade certification isn’t marketing fluff; it’s a commitment that traces back to Grön’s founding principles, making every bite an investment in sustainable agriculture and social responsibility.
