Robert Wilkins
Founder/President
Robby Wilkins’ life embraces both adventure and focus. After competing aboard a Santa Cruz 52 during Barbados Race Week, he returns to his office at Southern Visions Realty, Inc., in Lexington, SC, the company he’s guided since 1984. On his desk are documents, to-dos, memos, drawings and plans pertaining to the hemp and real estate company his family runs.
“My hours are 24/7,” he intones, still taking it all in stride just as he did at the outset. Sleep is a precious commodity when juggling endeavors of these sorts. But Robby wouldn’t trade what he’s doing for anything.

Gregory Wilkins
Founder/Business Development
When Wilkins was informed of the chance to create a brand-new hemp company in his native South Carolina with his family he was beyond floored. “I have always known that the cannabis plant is a miracle in so many ways, and when I saw the ability to be one of the first in South Carolina to work with hemp it was an offer I couldn’t turn down.” Wilkins has a background in commercial real estate development and a fond affinity for nature and the outdoors and “This translates well into the cannabis industry” says Wilkins. Wilkins believes there is going to be a massive shift from the public’s strict adherence to large pharmaceutical care options, to more wholistic and cannabis derived drugs. Wilkins is excited about the future of Indigo Ridge Hemp and the entire industry as a whole, “This is just the beginning,” finishes Wilkins.

Reid received a bachelor's degree in Architecture from Clemson in '06, and a master's in '13. "Whether it's buildings or businesses, the fruits of our labor should benefit society as a whole." Reid brings this holistic mindset into the development of Indigo Ridge Hemp.
