More from the Founder
Hi folks - my name is Will Mitchell and I was born and raised right here in Tenleytown, Washington, D.C. - aside from college at Penn State University, I have lived in DC my whole life. I am a rowing coach for Wilson High School in addition to running Tenleytown Meat Company.
For years now, my interests have focused on sustainability and food and through that interest, I started to understand the harm of raising animals on "factory farms." I was inspired to be vegetarian but after some time saw a second way - building a better meat system from the grassroots up. I learned taking animals out of the CAFO setting and putting them back on pastures could do so much to reverse the negative trends associated with raising and eating meat, and since then have been working to understand how to build that transition to be as strong and swift as possible.
Thank you for helping to support our mission and I look forward to road ahead!
