Co-op Calendar 

Humboldt Made was initiated by the County of Humboldt in 2010 to spur the growth of a diverse array of makers and producers. The idea was to bring entrepreneurs together, identify their common strengths and weaknesses and through networking and collaboration overcome obstacles and achieve great things together. Creating brand awareness and increased sales beyond Humboldt’s borders was key, the end result being a sustainable, local economy.

Combining energy and resources, Humboldt Made organizes buyer’s tours where nearly twenty companies have been signed on to companies such as Whole Foods, Safeway, and Harvest Market, among others. We also facilitate co-operative attendance at outside trade shows and one-on-one distributor meetings, initiatives that would be far too expensive for one business to do on their own. Efforts such as these are a few examples of how Humboldt Made uniquely serves Humboldt’s entrepreneurial community.

Originally funded by the County’s Headwaters Fund and member dues, Humboldt Made struck out on its own under the auspices of the Humboldt Area Foundation and became its own 501 c3 in 2015. The result has been to make Humboldt Made far more nimble and responsive to member needs and opportunities.
