Kiva (including Camino) and Wyld are the two most respected cannabis edibles brands in the New York legal market. Both available at The Flowery’s NYC locations. Choosing between them comes down to what you want from a gummy: Wyld wins on real-fruit flavor, per-gummy potency, and no-frills reliability; Kiva/Camino wins on dose flexibility, effect-based labeling, and broader product variety (chocolate, mints, live resin). Our honest take from selling both: most NYC customers end up with one of each on rotation, because each does something the other doesn’t.
The Fast Answer
| You want | Pick |
|---|---|
| Real fruit flavor | Wyld |
| Flexible 5mg dosing | Camino (Kiva) |
| Fewer, stronger gummies | Wyld (10mg each) |
| Effect-labeled simplicity | Camino |
| Chocolate option | Kiva bars or Terra Bites |
| Microdose capability | Kiva Petra mints |
| Strain-specific experience | Kiva Lost Farm |
| First-time edible | Wyld Pear 1:1 OR Camino Chill |
| Sleep gummy | Tie — Wyld Elderberry (heavier) vs Camino Midnight Blueberry (gentler) |
Brand Philosophy
Wyld: Oregon-born. Built around real-fruit infusion and reliable 10mg THC dosing. Uses fruit-named SKUs (Raspberry, Marionberry, Huckleberry) paired with strain-category labels (sativa, indica, hybrid). The pitch: eat a real fruit gummy, get a predictable high.
Kiva (Camino specifically): California-born. Built around effect-based labeling and broader product diversity. Camino SKUs are named after outcomes (Bliss, Sleep, Social, Excite, Chill, Uplift) with terpene blends designed to produce those states. The pitch: pick the effect you want, skip the strain-decoding.
Both approaches work. They appeal to different mental models.
The Gummy Round
Side by side on the core gummy experience:
| Dimension | Wyld | Camino (Kiva) |
|---|---|---|
| Dose per gummy | 10mg | 5mg |
| Gummies per pack | 10 | 20 |
| Total mg per pack | 100mg | 100mg |
| Flavor approach | Real fruit (raspberry, marionberry) | Fruit + effect blend |
| Flavor quality | Excellent — tastes like real fruit | Excellent — more candy-forward |
| Consistency batch-to-batch | High | High |
| Price (NYC) | $25–$32 | $22–$28 |
| Microdose capability | Halve or quarter gummy | Halve for 2.5mg |
| First-timer friendly | Wyld Pear 1:1 is great | Camino Chill is great |
| Sleep-specific SKU | Wyld Elderberry (w/ CBN) | Camino Midnight Blueberry (w/ CBN) |
| Most-stocked in NYC | Tie | Tie |
Gummy winner: Depends on your dosing philosophy.
The Format Diversity Round
Where Kiva pulls ahead: they make more than gummies.
| Format | Kiva | Wyld |
|---|---|---|
| Standard fruit gummies | ✓ (Camino) | ✓ |
| Microdose mints (2.5mg) | ✓ (Petra) | No |
| Chocolate-covered bites | ✓ (Terra Bites) | No |
| Full chocolate bars | ✓ (Kiva Bars) | No |
| Live resin gummies | ✓ (Lost Farm) | No |
| CBD-inclusive gummies | Yes | Yes (Wyld Pear 1:1) |
Format winner: Kiva, by a wide margin. Wyld is purely a gummy brand. Kiva is a full edible ecosystem.
The Price Round
Per 100mg pack at NYC licensed dispensaries including The Flowery:
| Product | Price |
|---|---|
| Camino gummies | $22–$28 |
| Wyld gummies | $25–$32 |
| Kiva Petra mints | $24–$30 |
| Kiva Terra Bites | $24–$32 |
| Kiva Chocolate Bars | $26–$35 |
| Kiva Lost Farm | $28–$40 |
Price winner: Camino is the most affordable entry-point; Wyld is mid-range; Kiva premium formats (bars, Lost Farm) run highest.
The Flavor Round
Both brands make products that don’t taste like bad weed candy. They differ:
- Wyld: Fruit-forward. Raspberry tastes like raspberry. Marionberry tastes like marionberry. Minimal cannabis aftertaste. If you hate the taste of weed, Wyld is the top choice.
- Kiva/Camino: Slightly more candy-forward. Cherry-almond (Wild Cherry), pear-lemon (Sparkling Pear). Also hides cannabis flavor well. Pineapple Habanero is the outlier — that one’s distinctly flavor-forward.
- Kiva Lost Farm: Strain-flavored. Cannabis is present. Polarizing on purpose.
Flavor winner: Wyld for “real fruit” people. Camino for “fun candy” people. Lost Farm for “I like weed flavor” people.
The Effect Round
Both brands produce reliable effects. The difference is semantic:
- Wyld: Uses strain categories (sativa, indica, hybrid). Traditional cannabis framing.
- Camino: Uses outcomes (Chill, Uplift, Sleep, Excite). Modern consumer framing.
Effect outcomes are roughly equivalent when you map them:
- Wyld Sativa ≈ Camino Uplift
- Wyld Indica ≈ Camino Sleep / Chill (depending)
- Wyld Hybrid ≈ Camino Bliss
Both work. Pick the mental model that makes shopping easier for you.
The Availability Round
Both brands are widely stocked at OCM-licensed NYC dispensaries including all twelve Flowery locations.
Fake product is the real risk on both sides — Wyld more than Kiva, because Wyld’s packaging is older and easier to mimic. Buy both at OCM-licensed dispensaries only, and check the OCM decal on the door before you hand over an ID.
The First-Timer Round
For a brand-new NYC edible consumer:
- Best Wyld starter: Wyld Pear 1:1 (10mg THC + 10mg CBD — forgiving)
- Best Camino starter: Camino Wild Cherry Bliss or Watermelon Lemonade Chill (5mg, gentler)
- Best Kiva non-gummy starter: Petra mints (2.5mg, easiest to microdose)
First-timer winner: Camino Watermelon Lemonade edges out because the 5mg + 5mg CBD combo is the gentlest entry-point in the legal market.
The Verdict
Both brands are excellent. Both are reliable. Both are OCM-licensed and lab-tested. Neither is a bad choice.
- Buy Wyld if you want real-fruit flavor, fewer-but-stronger gummies, and a no-frills brand experience.
- Buy Kiva/Camino if you want flexibility, effect-based labeling, and access to chocolate, mints, and live resin in addition to gummies.
Most NYC regulars end up with one of each on rotation. The pack math works out: 10 Wyld + 20 Camino = 200mg total, covers most of a month, lets you switch between them based on mood.
