Not all edibles are created equal. While the early days of legalization were marked by inconsistent brownies and mystery gummies, the modern cannabis market has entered an entirely new phase. Today’s cannabis consumers are more informed, more selective, and more demanding of both flavor and function. That is where brands like Ayrloom, MFNY, and Camino come in.
The Evolution of the Edible
Let’s take a step back. What changed? Why is this moment in edible history so significant?
Edibles used to be seen as a wildcard. It was hard to know how strong they were, how long they would take to kick in, or how you would feel after eating one. The cannabis community demanded better, and the best brands listened. What we have today is an evolved market where terpenes, minor cannabinoids, and even strain-specific formulas are changing everything.
Customers want precision. They want consistency. And they want to know what kind of experience they are about to have. These are not just snacks. They are purpose-driven products, crafted to match the mood, lifestyle, and needs of the consumer.
Ayrloom: From Orchard to Edible
Ayrloom is a New York-grown brand rooted in heritage and sustainability. Their story begins on a fifth-generation family farm in upstate New York called Beak & Skiff, originally known for its apples and cider. When the state legalized cannabis, this farm saw an opportunity to bring its agricultural expertise to the cannabis space without sacrificing quality or transparency.
Ayrloom stands out for its vertically integrated process. They cultivate their own cannabis, extract their own oil, and produce their edibles in-house. That means everything from seed to gummy is handled with care and consistency. Their branding is clean and modern, but it’s the flavor and effect that truly set them apart.
Orchard Sunrise UP Gummies
One of their most celebrated products is the Orchard Sunrise UP gummy, a balanced blend of THC and CBG that’s ideal for daytime use. Each package contains ten pieces with 10mg of THC each, supported by CBG for extra focus and mental clarity.
The flavor evokes fresh apple, citrus zest, and subtle earthiness. You get the sense that this is not just fruit-inspired, it’s fruit-rooted. The Orchard Sunrise UP gummy is ideal for those who want a functional edible that does not weigh them down. Whether you’re heading to Central Park or working from a cozy café on Lexington Avenue, this product is energizing, not overwhelming.
MFNY: Craft Cannabis at its Finest
MFNY, short for Marijuana Farms New York, is known for doing things differently. With facilities based in the Hudson Valley, MFNY has built a brand on integrity and high-end processing. Their core philosophy is “Fire in, fire out,” meaning they only use top-tier flower and extraction techniques to create true-to-strain, full-spectrum products.
MFNY doesn’t use distillate in their gummies. Instead, they use live resin, extracted from fresh frozen cannabis to retain the plant’s full terpene and cannabinoid profile. This results in an edible experience that more closely mirrors the sensation of smoking the flower itself.
Pina Colada x Strawpaya Live Resin Gummies
Among MFNY’s most talked-about offerings are the Pina Colada x Strawpaya Live Resin gummies. These tropical delights are crafted with real strain-specific live resin and feature 10 gummies per tin, each dosed with 10mg THC.
The flavor blends creamy coconut with bright pineapple and juicy notes of strawberry and papaya. But this is not just about taste. These gummies deliver a clean, uplifting high that feels social and artistic. They are ideal for brunch with friends, rooftop gatherings, or evenings at home with a movie. Consumers on the Upper East Side appreciate MFNY for its authenticity, depth, and dedication to the craft.
Camino: Mood Engineering at Its Best
Camino is a product line from Kiva Confections, one of the most trusted edible companies in the country. Known for consistency, innovation, and sophisticated branding, Camino is all about mood-based formulations. Each flavor is matched with a terpene profile and cannabinoid ratio that promotes a specific state of being, such as “Chill,” “Excite,” or “Recover.”
Unlike many mass-market edibles, Camino products are vegan, gluten-free, and made with food-grade ingredients. They’ve mastered the balance between medicinal benefit and recreational enjoyment.
Recover Freshly Squeezed Gummies
One of the standout products in the Camino line is the Recover Freshly Squeezed gummy, which combines 100mg THC and 200mg CBG in each tin. Designed for physical recovery and body balance, these gummies have become a go-to for fitness enthusiasts, yoga practitioners, and professionals looking to unwind after work.
The flavor is a burst of citrus, offering notes of grapefruit and orange that make each gummy feel like a mini juice cleanse. The effects are calm and restorative without being sedative. Consumers who want to feel better physically while staying sharp mentally often turn to this gummy as part of their post-workout or end-of-day routine.
What Sets These Brands Apart
Each of these brands stands out for different reasons, but they all share a few core qualities: transparency, consistency, and effect-driven innovation. They are built for modern cannabis consumers who do their research and want their cannabis to work smarter.
| Brand | Core Focus | Signature Product | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ayrloom | Farm-grown, botanical precision | Orchard Sunrise UP | Clarity, productivity, daily wellness |
| MFNY | Live resin, flavor-first | Pina Colada x Strawpaya | Creativity, social settings, connoisseurs |

Whether you’re heading to the Met, walking the East River Greenway, or enjoying a Sunday brunch on Second Avenue, there is a gummy for that.
The Rise of Terpenes and Minor Cannabinoids
A few years ago, most people only looked at the THC number on a package. Today, it is all about terpene content, entourage effect, and cannabinoid diversity. The rise of CBG, CBN, and THCV is shaping how brands like Ayrloom, MFNY, and Camino formulate their products.
These minor cannabinoids provide unique benefits. CBG is great for inflammation and mood. CBN is known for sleep. THCV may help with appetite regulation. By combining these with specific terpenes like myrcene, limonene, or beta-caryophyllene, brands can fine-tune experiences with incredible precision.
Consumers in Manhattan expect this level of detail. They want edibles that go beyond basic euphoria and into the realm of wellness, creativity, or focus. These brands understand that and build products accordingly.
