Hackett’s family has extensive history in the agricultural industry. Greenhouses have been in her family for more than 20 years and are what sparked the idea of getting into growing cannabis. Her father, Mike Hackett, opened RVF in 2016 and Michelle Hackett joined him in 2017 running the company’s sales division. During her tenure at RVF, Hackett has fostered connections with some of the biggest brands, distributors and retail outlets in the state. She says the best choice she and her family have ever made is “doing it all on their own.”

Hackett highlights the main points she will speak about during the session “Facility Design – Greenhouse” at Cannabis Conference 2021. In the episode, she touches on:

  • The process of implementing RVF’s new genetics for 2021;
  • Challenges that come with growing cannabis in a greenhouse;
  • Practices growers can implement to be mindful of the climate; and
  • RVF’s expansion plans and goal to implement a dry facility.

To hear more from Hackett on the challenges and solutions that come along with greenhouse facility design, register for Cannabis Conference 2021. The session “All-Access Pass: Facility Design – Greenhouse” will be held August 24 from 11:20 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. PT. Regular registration rates expire July 31, 2021.
