Northern California has a storied place in cannabis culture, known as the birthplace of modern pot farming with secretive grow-operations dating back to the 1960s and ’70s.
More than 50 years later, the region’s cannabis economy faces an uncertain future. Cannabis legalization in the state has pushed some farms to the breaking point, with myriad regulations and increased competition.
Still others see new opportunity in the coming decades. For those looking to start cultivating cannabis or expand their operation, here are five properties listed for sale or rent in Northern California.
