Company Summary

Buddha Bites is a wellness brand of hemp-infused candies and snacks. The cannabidiol (aka CBD) market is estimated to reach $22B by 2022, and the recently passed 2018 Farm Bill has created an immediate opportunity for hemp-derived CBD products. We’ve found a gap among available offerings and aim to use our unique manufacturing relationship, quick-to-market strategy, and e-commerce expertise to establish a superior product, brand and supply chain.
