MARKET’S UP, JURY’S STILL OUT IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

It’s a seller’s market, growers are getting paid, and the supply chain is its least wonky in the short history of REC legalization. Add to these developments news of Humboldt County now owning the most cultivation licenses of any California county, and our current subtotal is a community finally seeing daylight.

  • Demand for product has been on the rise since May.
  • Now that the majority of temporary licenses issued have been made into provisional and annual licenses, Humboldt County has more cultivation licenses, independent licensed farms, and cultivates more area, with greater (licensed) production capacity than any other county. 
  • Fewer illegal grows dot the county, too.
  • And yet, “I don’t think anyone is calling this a win and that we’ve made it through,” says Terra Carver of the Humboldt Alliance.
