Mitch Shumway

Production Specialist

Mitch Shumway was born here and has been a Blanding native for most of his life.

Mitch “grew up” at an early age and joined the oil industry when he was only 16. He was married and starting a family at the age of 24.

He has always been self-employed and self-sufficient. Mitch is knowledgeable in most trades and has always had a knack for engineering, mechanical maintenance, and design.

One day, 3 years or so ago, he showed up at the farm to help and has been at Bears Ears Farms since. Mitch is family, and greatly appreciated by everyone on the farm.

At Bears Ears Farms, Mitch is known for his dedicated focus and passion for getting the work done each day and moving the farm forward in an ever-growing industry. He knows how to do anything and everything on the farm and if he doesn’t know how to, then he finds out in an efficient and cost-effective way.

When Mitch isn’t at BEF he’s often spending quality time with his kids and grandkids, or creating ceramic art. He is a wonderful family man and loves being a grandfather.
