Cannabis Business Insurance on the North Coast

Coverage for Licensed Cannabis Farms in Humboldt and Mendocino

Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties are the historic heart of California cannabis. Licensed outdoor and mixed-light farms, nurseries, processors and distributors from Garberville and Eureka to Ukiah and Willits work remote properties with wildfire exposure, seasonal harvest crews and long hauls to market.


Callidus Insurance Solutions insures licensed cannabis businesses across the North Coast. We place property, inventory and crop, general and product liability, cargo and transport, and workers' compensation coverage with carriers that write cannabis, and we help with the surety bond your state license requires. Already insured? Send us your declarations pages and loss runs 90 days before renewal and we will take your account to market.

🌿 Licensed Cannabis & Hemp Operations

Operating a licensed cannabis business in California requires strict compliance with the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) and carrier underwriting rules. We help cultivators, distributors, manufacturers, and dispensaries secure compliant, reliable coverage without the traditional market markup.

  • Crop & Canopy Coverage: Protects living plants during propagation, vegetation, and flowering stages against fire, equipment failure, theft, and water damage.
  • Harvested Goods & Inventory: High-value protection for harvested flower, biomass, trim, and finished retail inventory stored on site or in transit.
  • Extraction & Processing Liability: Specialized coverage for solvent and solventless extraction facilities using butane, CO2, or ethanol.
  • Product Liability & Recalls: Crucial protection against third-party claims alleging illness, mislabeling, or product contamination.
