Gabriella’s Kitchen was founded in 2003 in Ontario and listed on the Canada Stock Exchange in September. The firm produces better-for-you food products, as well as cannabis and hemp-infused food items.

In a statement announcing the deal, the company said: “The proposed acquisition of Sonoma, coupled with GABY’s previously-announced acquisition of The Oil Plant and its manufacturing license, allows Gabriella’s Kitchen to control the path from product conception to consumer, giving the company a portal to directly reach its customers.

“Should federal legalisation in the United States remove the barriers to inter-state commerce, Gabriella’s Kitchen will have the infrastructure needed to quickly expand into the remaining US states.”
