Bigfoot Cannabis Company is more than a cannabis shop—it’s a tribute to the heritage of Humboldt County’s cannabis culture. In the heart of Willow Creek, often referred to as the “Bigfoot Capital of the World,” this local, family-owned business represents the legacy of Humboldt’s cannabis farmers who have cultivated the land for decades. With deep roots in the community, Bigfoot Cannabis is dedicated to preserving the values of small-scale farming and supporting local businesses.
Founded in 2022, Bigfoot Cannabis is a micro-business that includes retail, traditional manufacturing, and its own farm just a few miles from the shop. The farm, situated along the Trinity River, grows cannabis in native soil under the sun. This small-batch, handcrafted cannabis is the essence of Bigfoot’s house brand, which is featured prominently at their Willow Creek store.
Bigfoot Cannabis only carries sun-grown products from small local farms, ensuring that their shelves reflect the best that Willow Creek and Humboldt County have to offer. Bigfoot does not carry any indoor or corporate cannabis, standing firmly in support of local families and their farming operations. Some of the farms featured in the store include Love Notes, Sunrise Mountain, Emerald Queen, Willow Creekside, Terp Mansion, Sol Spirit, High Totem, Talking Trees – all representing the spirit of community and camaraderie that defines the Humboldt County cannabis industry.
Willow Creek’s unique microclimate, located about 50 miles from the coast and nestled behind the mountains, creates an ideal environment for growing cannabis. This area is known for producing some of the highest-quality cannabis in Northern California, as well as other crops like peaches and wine grapes. In fact, Willow Creek is one of the few places in Northern California to have its own wine AVA designation due to this microclimate.
The connection to Bigfoot folklore adds another layer to the story. The town is famous for the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which allegedly captured footage of the elusive creature near Bluff Creek. Willow Creek has celebrated its ties to Bigfoot with the annual Bigfoot Daze festival since the 1960s, and the local Bigfoot Museum, located just across the street from Bigfoot Cannabis, serves as a reminder of this unique cultural heritage.
