Certified Kind Fees For Farms 

Certified Kind combines the cost of the inspection and certification administration fees into one flat rate. The fee for inspection and certification is $2500. The price also includes a comprehensive residue test of plant tissue we sample at inspection.

For micro-tiers, the cost is $2000.

The certification must be renewed annually and this requires an onsite inspection to verify continued compliance to the Certified Kind rules of production.

The annual renewal price is $2500.


Certification Fees For Processors

Post harvest processing of a crop includes a long list of potential activities such as sorting, packing, extracting, preparing, and cooking. Processors often focus on extracting oils and creating single or multi-ingredient products like vape pens, edibles, or topically applied products.

Certification fees for processors are $2500 per year, same as growers.

Inspection Travel Costs

Please note, Travel Costs vary depending on the availability of local Certified Kind inspectors, as well as Certified Kind’s ability to schedule multiple inspections on individual inspection trips. Travel Costs include customary travel expenses incurred during an inspection trip such as mileage, airfare, meals, and overnight lodging as applicable. Prior to inspection, Certified Kind will provide the Certified Kind client an estimate of the Travel Costs. Travel Costs will be invoiced to the client after the inspection and final certification will be contingent on full compliance to the Certified Kind rules as well as payment of all Fees and Travel Costs. Certified Kind will make every effort to reduce Travel Costs.
