Emerald Hour was originally the brand's name for its lineup of cannabis drinks, and now it has expanded into gummies.

The new product includes environmentally conscious dark and oat milk chocolates.

The latest funding round will be used to accelerate marketing, expand retail distribution, and grow inventories for the company.

To encourage young people to enter and lead the future of farming, the company is working with an environmental organization and a youth learning platform. 

The organization is also recognizing Elaine Wu, co-founder and SVP of Amos Food Group, with its second-annual Impact Award.

Consumers have shown a high willingness to try new candy products, the brand says.

Partnering with VeeFriends, the confectionery brand is giving consumers early access to its boldest candy yet, it says.

The recognition honors female leaders with exceptional mentorship, leadership, and influence in the confectionery industry, the org says.

The new hire previously served as senior account manager at Vibrant Ingredients, where he focused on strengthening customer partnerships and driving revenue growth. 

Looking to reduce downtime caused by cleaning, maintenance, and start-up, as well as improve print consistency across its lines, the confectioner turned to Leibinger for a more reliable solution.
