2018
The 2018 Farm Bill is signed, Canna River is founded, and the hemp industry is booming. Striving to cut through the noise of the saturated hemp marketplace the mission has begun.
The Story BehindRiver Botanicals
A family-owned botanical company built on quality, transparency, and trust — evolving to meet a changing industry.
2022
Canna River undergoes a massive rebrand. A complete review of products and processes from top to bottom. Fixed on one mission: to provide the finest hemp for the fairest price.
2023
The eco impact program establishes its roots. For free: every order plants a tree, removes plastic from the ocean, ships carbon-neutral, and stores carbon for a millennium.
2026
While Canna River remains an exclusive brand offered by River Botanicals, a new direction is formed. A foundation that provides a broader reach for more than just hemp. A world of new botanical additions await.
2026
Another exclusive River Botanicals brand is born: Kratom River. The first of many new exceptional botanically derived additions to come.
