RARE BREED HUMBOLDT
Brad Hooper, founder of Rare Breed Humboldt, is a born-and-raised third-generation legacy cannabis farmer from the depths of Humboldt County. Rooted in generations of traditional cultivation, his multi-faceted passions extend to plants, skateboarding, and community building—he is also co-founder of Humboldt Skate Lab and “I am Eureka,” a non-profit dedicated to supporting young skateboarding enthusiasts through scholarships, opportunities, and local empowerment. Rare Breed Humboldt focuses on legacy-driven, organic cannabis genetics, emphasizing authentic Humboldt expressions born from deep regional heritage. Strains draw from carefully preserved and selectively bred lines—featuring standout profiles like Blueberry Valley (rich blueberry and earthy notes with classic indica relaxation), Trill Runtz (Trill OG x Runtz crosses delivering gassy, fruity, and potent hybrid vigor), Urkle-influenced heirlooms (passed through generations for that signature grape candy and heavy body effects), and other Humboldt originals that capture the county's legendary terroir: dense resin, complex terpenes (berry, fuel, pine, and funk), vigorous outdoor-adapted growth, and balanced highs that honor old-school potency. Cultivators committed to organic, sun-grown methods, living soil, and place-based breeding find Rare Breed Humboldt genetics inspiring. These varieties encourage pheno hunting for true-to-origin traits, refined outdoor techniques for maximum expression, and creative documentation—like photographing the vibrant colors, frosty trichomes, and unique structures of Humboldt-bred buds under natural light. The Upper Vault carries Rare Breed Humboldt selections with pride as a trusted retailer, offering premium, breeder-direct packs of elite Humboldt strains like Blueberry Valley, Trill Runtz crosses, Urkle heirlooms, and other legacy-focused releases. The Upper Vault channels Brad Hooper's Humboldt heartbeat—delivering third-generation redwood roots straight to your grow.
