RON'S STORY

Our story began in 2008 with our CEO, Ronald Greene, on a quest to find relief for his lifelong battle with Ulcerative Colitis. At 19, Ron began taking powerful medications to manage the pain — but found himself struggling with both his physical and mental health. Desperate for a better path, he spent day in and day out visiting natural food stores, searching for any kind of remedy.

Rooted in his belief that "food can be medicine", Ron discovered that coconut water was an exceptional source of natural hydration — easing the side effects of his disease and giving his body what it needed. But there was one problem: the coconut water in the market didn't taste good. Not even close.

So Ron went searching. Across countries, groves, and countless coconuts, he chased the best-tasting coconut water he could find. That search led him to Thailand’s fertile inland regions and the young Nam Hom dwarf coconut — a naturally sweet discovery that would become the heart of C2O.

Through the years, Ron’s mission has stayed rooted in one simple belief: when you find something this refreshing, you share it. C2O carries that spirit forward with a simple belief in holistic living, great-tasting coconut water, and refreshment that’s easy to love.

What started as one man’s search for something better became a sip worth passing along — from the first can to the next happy convert. Today, C2O continues to bring people together around refreshment that feels good, tastes good, and makes hydrating a little more joyful. Happy Hydrating!
