Welcome to Our Story
Let’s Keep it Short + Sweet
Verde Collection and its CBD brands began with a family vision and a mother’s medical need. Ian and Jessica first met back in 2009 and since then, they have had their hands in entrepreneurial life. They have traveled the world together, rock climbing and exploring, but always returned to their family farm, the Verde Farm, which was their first home together.
After their second child was born, Jessica’s health started to decline due to lupus, and their medical team recommended plant remedies. This was the impetus for the creation of the Verde Collection. It was there, at their family farm, that they envisioned and created the magic that is now Verde Collection.
Verde Collection — organically-grown + woman led cannabis brands.
Jessica Dory | Founder & CEO
Jes is the driving force, the visionary, the loving mom, and the creative spark behind the Verde Collection. Her journey with Lupus has been difficult, but it’s also been a source of inspiration for her – inspiring her to create a house of wellbeing brands that cover everything from skincare to our furry friends. Her mission is to provide the highest quality full spectrum hemp products on the market with complete transparency for your peace of mind. Drawing on the medical expertise of Dr. Kaufman, Jes has crafted and designed a range of clean, small-batch formulas to nurture your body. From start to finish, Jes infuses every Verde Collection product with her passion for healing through plant-based remedies, and ensures that each product is made with you in mind.
Above all, Jes loves to spend as much time as possible with her two little ones, Pax & Oliva. As she says, “Becoming a mom is the greatest blessing I could have ever asked for!”
