This program goes beyond basic training. It provides structured workforce certification, compliance oversight tools, and strategic advisory access to help organizations demonstrate good‑faith compliance to regulators, financial partners, insurers, and brand partners.
CRAFT Pro is intentionally tiered to reflect risk exposure, operational complexity, and regulatory responsibility — with dedicated pathways for Operators and Distributors.

The CRAFT Standard: Verified. Certified. Trusted.
At CRAFT, we’re creating a safer hemp marketplace through transparency and accountability. Our CRAFT Certification Program verifies the integrity of the supply chain, from seed to sale.
01
Vetted Farms
CRAFT-certified farms follow best agricultural practices, maintain transparent records, and partner only with approved processors and manufacturers. Their harvests are traceable, tested, and aligned with Texas and federal law—giving retailers and consumers confidence in every batch.
03
Verified Labs
Only independent, third-party laboratories that meet our standards for accuracy, integrity, and transparency earn the CRAFT Verified status. COAs from these labs are trusted as a foundation for safe commerce.
02
Certified Brands & Products
All certified products undergo strict review, including COA authentication, ingredient disclosures, and compliance documentation. Whether it’s a tincture, beverage, or gummy—every item meets or exceeds legal and quality standards.
04
Certified Retailers
Retailers who carry CRAFT-certified products have passed our compliance intake process and actively participate in responsible selling. They lead with education, transparency, and consumer protection at the core.
05
Distributors
Gain trust and credibility as a CRAFT Certified Distributor. Your business undergoes verification to ensure you work with compliant brands and products, making you a reliable source for retailers and wholesalers seeking vetted, safe-to-sell inventory.
