Seed hunters. Next-generation extract artists. Pioneers who protect and nourish a plant that is deeply woven into the story of Humboldt County. Humboldt is the leading cannabis producing region preserved for future generations. To realize this vision, we must:

Position and showcase Humboldt as the world’s premiere cannabis region. Farmers, extractors, distributors, labs and retailers work together to tell the story of Humboldt and engage key markets.
Provide leadership to solve industry challenges for Humboldt. We monitor legislation, and working together with our plant-touching members, we represent their interests in local and state government.
Exemplify the core values of Humboldt County: people, planet and prosperity. We work to foster collaboration and provide opportunities for our members to share their knowledge and just enjoy being together in this beautiful place.

If you are in the cannabis business, you are in the business of politics. HCGA gives Humboldt farmers a voice in Eureka and Sacramento. Participation in the legislative process is vital for every cannabis business in the County.

The weekly HCGA industry affairs call keeps me up-to-date with the evolving regulations and my cultivating colleagues throughout the county.

HCGA is a valuable part of our cannabis community. They provide a forum for information exchange, education, and connections. HCGA also provides a voice for our needs and concerns to the California State government, and represents us in the discussions of the legal direction and plans for this new, evolving industry.
