About Bison Botanics
Rooted in Passion and Community
Bison Botanics is a cannabis company with a foundation built on passion, respect for the plant, and a deep connection to the community it serves. Based in Western New York, the company’s story begins with its president, Justin Schultz, who grew up just minutes from their headquarters in Kenmore. Justin’s early experiences with cannabis, both personal and shared with close friends, ignited a passion for the plant’s potential to heal and connect. His efforts to craft effective recipes addressing common needs laid the groundwork for the high-quality product line that Bison Botanics proudly offers today.
The Beginning of Bison Botanics
The company’s official journey began in 2018 when Justin partnered with Sean Connors. Together, they launched what was initially known as Mend Botanics, a brand focused on small-batch, high-quality CBD products. With a signature lineup of tinctures, topicals, and gummies, every product was crafted with care and rigorously tested by third-party labs. Through collaborations with local restaurants, bars, and farmers markets, Bison Botanics quickly gained a reputation as a trustworthy and educational name in the cannabis space.
A Commitment to Community
Community has always been the heart of Bison Botanics. The company strives to foster positive connections through a welcoming and diverse environment for its team and customers. Its dedication to public education enables individuals to make informed decisions about safe cannabis use while strengthening trust between the brand and the people it serves.
Building Strong Partnerships with Local Farms
Bison Botanics extends its commitment to the local community through partnerships with farms outside Buffalo. When these cultivators struggled to find markets for their harvests, the company offered a solution that benefited both sides. Since 2019, Bison Botanics has sourced premium cannabis for its extracts and hand-trimmed flower directly from these farms. This partnership supports local agriculture while ensuring the consistent quality of their products.
Leading with Expertise and Integrity
As a leading hemp retailer and cannabis manufacturer in New York, Bison Botanics prides itself on its expertise in retail, cultivation, and manufacturing. The company holds a Cannabinoid Hemp Processor License for the State of New York, demonstrating its dedication to producing safe, effective products of the highest standard.
Education and Sustainability
Education and sustainability are integral to Bison Botanics’ mission. By equipping customers with knowledge about cannabis and its potential benefits, the company empowers them to make confident, informed choices. At every stage of production, Bison Botanics prioritizes sustainable practices, from collaborating with local farms to delivering environmentally-conscious products.
Exploring the Future of Cannabis
Bison Botanics embodies a synergy of passion for cannabis, commitment to quality, and dedication to community. Whether serving seasoned cannabis enthusiasts or those new to the space, the company remains devoted to exploring the potential of the plant while fostering meaningful partnerships and a sustainable future.
