a different focus
from farm, to manufacturing, to your doorstep,, Elevated Distributing makes sourcing your products easier than ever before.
At Elevated, our aim isn’t to simply distribute hemp products, we are changing the way the world views all things hemp while also making sourcing as easy as it should be. Whether it be cannabinoids, consumables, or industrial manufacturing uses, we simply deliver. Across our team, we have farmed large acreage positions, intimately understand extraction, oversee formulations, and assist in the education of industrial applications.
