Where to find KIVA
Our story
Founded in 2010 by Scott Palmer and Kristi Knoblich Palmer, KIVA Confections began in their home kitchen with a simple mission: to create cannabis edibles that were both consistently dosed and delicious. The husband-and-wife team recognized a significant gap in the market for reliable, high-quality edibles that consumers could trust.What started as a small-batch chocolate operation quickly gained recognition for its precise dosing, exceptional taste, and sophisticated packaging. By 2013, KIVA had expanded beyond its California roots and began establishing itself as a leader in the premium cannabis edibles space. Their commitment to quality earned them multiple Cannabis Cup awards and industry accolades.As the cannabis market evolved, so did KIVA. They introduced innovative product lines like Camino gummies, Petra mints, and Terra chocolate-covered bites, each maintaining the brand's signature attention to detail. Through strategic partnerships and thoughtful expansion, KIVA has grown from a kitchen experiment to one of the most recognized and respected cannabis brands in North America, while never compromising on their founding principles of quality, consistency, and innovation.
