Michelle Hackett – President of Riverview Farms

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.”
