We are Mitchell Wool Co

I spend my days creating the lifestyle brand experience that is Mitchell Wool, snuggling the flock, maintaining the social media & designing products. As the original founder, I am the face of the brand that travels to our LYS stockists throughout the country.  My suitcase is always at the ready and I love to explore the globe. I'm a crunchy sort, always have been. My favorite part of MWC is that while we work like squirrels, we're spending every day together as a team. The shared lunch table fills my cup with gratitude on a daily basis. 

Sherry's background? Interior design and marketing. I'd far rather snuggle sheep than hang drapes!

Francesco joined us to fill the role of righter of the ship, driver of the bus, ringmaster of the sheep show. Francesco counts beans, sheep, hay & all the costs to help us determine how we're going to get from the slap and dash start up phase to the next level. Our growth is faster than a weed in a pasture and to maintain this at a sustainable level we've brought aboard his expertise to ensure that we're on the right path. He maintains vendor relationships and the vision of the farm as It evolves into a regenerative agro-tourism destination. 

He's smart too, with a Harvard MBA ;) 

Francesco came to us from the Healthcare field, as he dubs his life change - "I wanted to enter HEALTH care. My field had evolved into for-profit SICK care and I couldn't feel good about participating in that. I'd rather help people change their lives for the better."

While he counts sheep professionally, he's an insomniac. Ironic isn't it?

Cindy is Sherry's older sister who unlike Sherry not only reads the instruction manual but actually follows the directions. This is why she is the perfect Dye Specialist for our botanical dyes. Hates math but is an awesome chemist. Cindy creates all the stuff, runs the shop, builds all of our displays & gadgetry, streamlines processes and knows where everything is stored. Everyone knows that Cindy is the true genius that keeps it all afloat.

Cindy of all trades but master of pretty much everything she touches. 

Her background as a professional sewist & floral designer has given her the foundation to create our magical hues from plants. 

Another world changer, George graduated from MSU with a bachelors degree in Finance then worked at a top company doing Investment Research. But the spreadsheets didn't give him the life satisfaction that he found working outside and the rural lifestyle, so he

left his investment job and moved to work on his parents farm, where he manages cattle and horse boarders. We are delighted that George has joined us to move our farm to the next level and return our land to the rich soil it had before it was depleted from mono-cropping. George is a big believer in the need for regenerative agriculture, and is integral to our growth in this movement.

Ann Marie has been caring for the Mitchell flock long before sheep were ever on the farm. Always one to offer a helping hand, when she was here on shearing day and Sherry & Cindy were in a tight squeeze trying to get everything done with only 24 hours in a day she was hired on the spot. So Ann Marie washes raw fleece, puts on skein bands, tends the garden, tidies up, snuggles the flock in the summer and brushes the dogs and just about anything else we ask of her. Her primary role is winding skeins of yarn on our Belfast skeiner and producing our wooden tools. But she has a hundred other skills. Most important is that she is the kindest, most gentle human you'll ever meet. The PERFECT choice for our direct care of animals.

She's one of a kind and no you cannot have her!

Jack's claim to fame is being Cindy's husband. He and Declan are the primary farm workers and the relationship they have is next level. Best buds who look out for each other on the daily. Jack is an expert tractor driver and fixes/ builds whatever needs mending. That's a daily occurence on a farm! He's farmer number one and is training Declan to take on the role if we ever let him retire. Not likely any time soon!

Jack's weakness is that he is a cookie monster and can be talked into most anything with a homemade treat as bribery.

Bekah began at MWC by sewing our famous project bags

then became quite interested in Cindy's dyeing. As we grew, a position opened as a full time dyer and she quickly embraced the skill!

She's not just a genius behind her dye pots, she is also terrific with product development, adding stuff to the website, and shipping your orders. Bekah frequently travels with us to festivals and is always a good time! Her weakness is getting HANGRY so come lunch time she's known yell to us all that it's time to stop and dine together around the communal lunch table. 

Declan is the youngest of the Mitchell kids. He spends his day (when he isn't homeschooling) assisting Jack with ranch work, is great at wrestling sheep that have run off and cows that are being naughty. At just fifteen he has been capable of driving the F350 for several years! He's our primary equipment operator and can put a half ton round bale on top of a quarter in a field. Be it a skid steer, John Deere, or a string trimmer, Declan always gets the job done before being asked. We are immensely proud of his work ethic!

His dream is to one day run a farm of his own. 

Crops not livestock, "they're way too much work!"

Kristine sews the famous Sherry's Sweater Bag  

which makes her the second most popular of us all (next to Cindy who has a cult following!) She a genius behind her commercial machine whipping out our handmade bags, and finishing the bags made by our non-profit partner. Fun fact, Kristine is a former LYS owner! She has great knitting expertise and MIGHT even teach a class series for us in the future! Kristine is an ice cream lover and the grand-mum of the cutest little knitwear model on the planet!

Jessica is sharper than sewing scissors that have been properly left alone by people who have no business picking up sewing scissors and she knows how to use them! Jessica & Sherry became fast friends in 2016 through a shared love of sewing their clothing. She taught Sherry to knit, which lead to....

120 sheep on the farm! So maybe this is all her fault?

She joins us virtually from her gorgeous life in Boulder CO to support our Stockists; run the sample program, the Trunk Show program and every other thing that pops into Sherry's brain but needs that type A precision to execute. And she is GREAT at it! When she isn't working her brain cells for MWC, Jessica loves rock climbing, her precious kiddos and a very indulged bull dog named Beax. 

for ecological design & systems integration.

Big title - big role.

She loves a good cookie just as much as Jack!
