Meet the Founder
Hudson Valley Botanicals: 8 Years of Growth
Hudson Valley Botanicals is your trusted source for premium kratom and natural wellness products. As founder Scott, I started this journey with a vision to make high-quality botanicals accessible to everyone seeking natural wellness solutions.
Since 2012, I've been dedicated to the world of natural botanicals, living a holistic lifestyle that shapes everything from my diet to my approach to wellbeing. For me, launching Hudson Valley Botanicals wasn't just a business—it was a lifestyle transformation that revealed the incredible benefits of natural wellness solutions for everyday life.
The Beginning
My journey with kratom started in 2014, paused briefly, and reignited in 2016 when I rediscovered its remarkable benefits. This renewed passion sparked a vision far bigger than myself—a mission to share this powerful botanical with others seeking natural wellness solutions.
In 2017, I dove into researching kratom and forged connections with trusted Indonesian suppliers. What I uncovered was striking: many US vendors at the time charged exorbitant prices for kratom that could be affordable without sacrificing quality. Excessive markups were limiting access to this natural resource, and I saw a chance to change that by prioritizing both excellence and affordability.
FOUNDER & WELLNESS ADVOCATE
DEDICATED TO PREMIUM KRATOM SINCE 2017
OUR SIGNATURE BRAND
PREMIUM QUALITY KRATOM
Birth of Garuda Kratom
That vision came to life with the launch of Garuda Kratom, our signature kratom powder line. Inspired by the mythical Indonesian Garuda bird symbolizing strength, protection, and loyalty, Garuda reflects our core values and honors our Indonesian partners who've been vital to this journey.
Through Garuda Kratom, we deliver lab-tested, ethically sourced kratom powder at prices that break down barriers to premium quality. Every product in the Garuda line showcases our dedication to transparency, rigorous quality standards, and making natural wellness accessible to all.
Our Growth
From a modest start with just 15 kilograms of imported kratom, Hudson Valley Botanicals now processes over a thousand kilograms annually. This growth reflects the rising demand for premium botanicals and the trust our community has placed in us. We've expanded deliberately, ensuring every step honors our founding mission of quality and accessibility.
Even as we've scaled, our core promises remain unchanged: exceptional customer service and unmatched product quality. Whether it's our Garuda Kratom line or other offerings, we preserve the personal touch that defines us. Every order counts, every customer matters, and every product meets our rigorous standards.
Overcoming Challenges
Our path hasn't been without obstacles. The botanical industry brings unique challenges, from regulatory compliance to market volatility. Yet these hurdles have fueled our determination, turning setbacks into chances to prove our dedication to our customers and mission.
Our commitment to delivering premium botanicals—like Garuda Kratom—at fair prices drives us forward. We've navigated industry storms, emerging stronger, wiser, and more devoted to our community. This resilience defines Hudson Valley Botanicals, and it's a legacy I'm proud to build.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS
Looking Forward
Each year offers fresh chances to grow, but my focus stays firm: delivering the quality and personal connection our customers trust. At Hudson Valley Botanicals, we're always refining our offerings—like Garuda Kratom—and enhancing our service, all while staying rooted in our mission. We're more than a business; we're a partner in natural wellness, built on years of experience and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Looking ahead, we're thrilled to broaden our botanical range beyond kratom. Our Indonesian sourcing partnerships—the backbone of Garuda Kratom—remain strong, but we're now exploring new collaborations with cultivators across the U.S. and globally. This isn't just about expanding our catalog; it's about uncovering premium botanicals to enrich our customers' wellness journeys.
Whether you're new to botanicals or a seasoned enthusiast, I invite you to discover what sets Hudson Valley Botanicals apart: passion, expertise, and fair pricing. Join our family, where quality meets accessibility, and your wellness is our priority.
"Don't limit your challenges, Challenge your limits."This isn't just our slogan—it's the heartbeat of Hudson Valley Botanicals, driving us to elevate quality and empower your wellness goals.
