Meet The Humboldt Cure
The Humboldt Cure started as a family grow tradition, spanning over four decades in the world’s most renown region of craft sun-grown cannabis. With this on-going family tradition, they have mastered the craft of cultivation and harvesting which is no surprise they have become well-known for their award-winning cannabis flowers such as Zombie Fields and the Punch Berry strains. They have received awards over the past few years in some of California’s most notable cannabis competitions and events such as The Emerald Cup, the Blazer’s Cup, The High Times Cannabis Cup, Kushstock, Dabathon, Happy Place (Chalice), and Local Sesh.
In many cases, their award-winning flowers are also then processed into award-winning cannabis concentrates.
At The Humboldt Cure, they only use sustainable methods in the cultivation of their flowers. All of their flowers are sustainable farm-grown outdoor cannabis using mixed lighting techniques amongst other methods that are proprietary to their family farming traditions.
In addition to being at the forefront of cultivation, their vast and in-depth experience of processing craft cannabis strains is exemplary through the quality of their beyond sustainable flowers. As always, all of The Humboldt Cure’s cannabis flowers are lab tested and fulfill all of the strict guidelines and regulations that fall under Prop 64.
And now they have evolved into a full-scale licensed operation.
