Raven's View

Raven’s View grows cannabis the way it was meant to be grown — with patience, deep knowledge, and a reverence for genetics that most of the industry has forgotten. From their farm in Delhi, New York, this women-owned operation is preserving rare strains and proving that terpene profiles matter more than THC percentages.

The Raven’s View Story

Raven’s View was founded by Joann and Michael Kudrewicz in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Between them, they bring over 22 years of hands-on cultivation experience to every plant they grow. Their farm in Delhi sits in a region with a long agricultural heritage, and they approach cannabis with the same care and seasonal awareness that defines the best traditional farming.

The brand’s name and its signature black bird carry deep personal meaning. Raven’s View was inspired by the loss of their daughter Nina, who told her family, “When you see the black bird, it is me.” The raven became a symbol of connection, watchfulness, and the idea that love persists beyond loss. That emotional grounding gives the brand an authenticity that no marketing campaign could manufacture.

What drives Raven’s View at the cultivation level is an obsession with rare landrace and heirloom genetics — the original strains from cannabis-growing regions around the world that form the foundation of every modern hybrid. While most growers chase whatever strain is trending, Raven’s View seeks out and preserves genetics that tell the full story of the plant. Learn more at ravensviewgenetics.com.

What Makes Raven’s View Different

Landrace and Heirloom Focus

Raven’s View specializes in genetics that most commercial growers have abandoned. Landrace strains — varieties that evolved naturally in specific regions over centuries — and heirloom strains that were carefully maintained by dedicated cultivators. These genetics produce unique terpene profiles and effects that modern hybrids simply cannot replicate.

Terpenes Over THC

In an industry that treats THC percentage as the primary measure of quality, Raven’s View takes the opposite approach. They select and cultivate strains for terpene richness and complexity, understanding that the aromatic compounds in cannabis shape the experience far more than raw potency numbers.

Women-Owned, Women-Led

Raven’s View is proudly women-owned and women-led in an industry where female leadership remains underrepresented. Joann’s vision drives the brand’s direction, from strain selection to packaging to community engagement.
