New York Cannabis Compliance for OCM-Licensed Operators
OCM inspection prep, clean METRC records, and the software to keep them that way, for adult-use cultivators, processors and distributors.
We work with New York adult-use cultivators, processors and distributors on OCM inspection prep and day-to-day compliance: the records an inspector asks for, the gaps to close before they visit, and the habits that keep you ready between inspections. It’s the same compliance team, and the same BaykedFarm platform, that our California clients rely on.

How OCM Inspection Prep Works
An OCM inspection isn’t really about the binder. Anyone can build a binder. What the inspector checks is whether the binder matches what’s happening on your floor.

- Read It the Way an Inspector Would. We go line by line through your SOPs, batch production records, chain of custody, security protocols, training records, GMP certifications and METRC records.
- Reconcile METRC Against the Floor. Every plant and package tagged and labeled, and the physical inventory matching METRC. It’s the most common gap we find.
- Close the Gaps. Sometimes that’s a rewrite. Sometimes it’s tightening an SOP so it matches what your team actually does. Sometimes it’s creating records that were never started.
- Stay Ready Between Inspections. Gaps come from growth: volume goes up, staff change, a process shifts and the SOP doesn’t. We re-walk the records when your operation changes, not only before a visit.
METRC in New York
New York’s seed-to-sale tracking system is METRC. Every active OCM licensee (cultivators, processors, distributors, retailers, microbusinesses, registered organizations and labs) needs an inventory system that integrates with it, and licensees had to be credentialed in METRC by December 17, 2025. OCM keeps moving more reporting into METRC, most recently delinquent-payment (COD) reporting in September 2026. BaykedFarm checks weights, tags and manifests before they sync, so what’s in METRC matches what’s on site.

FAQ
New York Compliance Questions
Do you work with New York processors and distributors?
Yes. Our New York clients include adult-use cultivators, processors and distributors, and the same team supports all three.
Can you help us prepare for an OCM inspection?
Yes. We review your records the way an inspector would, reconcile METRC against what’s physically on site, and help you close the gaps before the visit. Most clients start with a readiness review.
Do you work in METRC for New York operators?
Yes. New York’s seed-to-sale system is METRC, and BaykedFarm syncs with it, so weights, tags and manifests are checked before they’re recorded.
Do you also handle New York licensing?
Not new applications. We don’t take on new New York license applications at this time, but we work with operators who already hold an OCM license: keeping it in good standing, handling changes and staying inspection-ready.
What happens after we find gaps?
We tell you which records wouldn’t survive a close look and why, then help you fix them: rewriting SOPs, filling missing records, or setting up the routines that keep them current.
Find the Gaps Before OCM Does
If you’re not sure where your gaps are, that’s usually the first sign you have some.
