What is Craft Hemp?
Craft hemp is a growing movement within the hemp industry—much like the craft beer revolution—with an emphasis on small-batch production, sustainable farming, and premium quality. Grown with care by independent farmers, craft hemp offers a more authentic and effective experience than mass-produced alternatives.
Hemp vs Cannabis
Hemp and cannabis are the same plant, but the law separates them by THC content. Hemp has very low THC, so it won’t get you high. Hemp is used for CBD products, textiles, food, and wellness items. Cannabis (often called marijuana) has higher THC, which creates psychoactive effects and is sold in licensed dispensaries for medical or recreational use in states where it’s legal.
High CBD, Low THC
Organically grown in small batches across the U.S., craft hemp is a variety of low-THC cannabis that’s rich in cannabidiol (CBD). These plants produce dense, resinous, and aromatic flowers loaded with beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes. When bred with strong genetics, craft hemp can deliver 10–15% CBD.
Sustainable & Thoughtful Cultivation
Craft hemp farmers are deeply committed to sustainable practices. Many grow in living soil, use organic amendments, and minimize water and energy use. You'll also find farms that plant pollinator-friendly herbs and flowers to attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects—nurturing both the plant and the planet.
More Than Just Flower
Craft hemp is the foundation for a wide range of high-quality, full-spectrum CBD products—including smokable flower, tinctures, gummies, drinks, and topical rubs. Because they’re made with care and attention to detail, these products often offer a cleaner, more consistent experience than mass-market CBD.
Support Independent Growers
When you choose products from the growers featured on Craft Gardens, you're supporting small-scale farmers who grow their own hemp and stand behind every batch. Their products are designed to promote relaxation, balance, and wellness—without the anxiety or intensity sometimes associated with high-THC cannabis.
By supporting craft hemp, you’re investing in sustainable farming, transparent sourcing, and a more mindful cannabis culture.
