CRAFT.

Ray Baird knows how to work. Fourteen years on a paper-mill floor ought to count for something. Then the plant closes, and the company’s most valuable resource goes home with a grocery bag full of old work shirts and screws.

Growing cannabis looks like a way to build something of his own. Learning the work is one thing. Turning good work into a living is another.

From the basement to a business with far more people interested in the money than the plants, Craft follows the stubborn, expensive pursuit of independence—and the people who make it worth trying.
