About Rove:

Our Vision

At Rove, we believe in honesty, simplicity, and transparency. Our goal is to provide customers with the highest quality products that taste great and are created with them in mind. Welcome to our brand, where the best is always getting better.

Our Products

Our products are made using 100% organically grown cannabis. Creating the ultimate individualized cannabis experience means perfection in every step of the process. From cultivation to cartridge, we do everything in house, and take pride in bringing our consumers high quality, great tasting, transparent products.

Our Story

Rove was born at the intersection of art and science. Our team of long-time industry enthusiasts, boasting a combined wealth of experience in cultivation, extraction, and laboratory science, joined together with a mission to produce better, tastier, more honest cannabis products.

In 2016, the Rove founders realized that long-term success in an immature cannabis industry required a higher degree of self-sufficiency. With that focus, Rove built its own manufacturing facilities, created unique packaging, developed a fully redundant supply chain, and engineered proprietary product formulations. This “do it yourself” mentality has served Rove well through periods of rapid growth and industry change.
