Meet the Team

Jana Bailey

Founder

Jana Lyman Bailey established Bears Ears Farms on land that has been in her family for more than a century. Jana came into the healing qualities of CBD oil and hemp while looking for a drought-resistant alternative to alfalfa. She started Bears Ears Farms because she saw an opportunity to restore and aid the area that was suffering from drought. Jana enjoys working with her colleagues and tracking the hemp plants’ development at every step.

Jana loves spending time with her grandchildren and being outdoors when she is not working on the farm. She is renowned for having a golden heart and being the best friend and boss on the farm.

Autumn Anderson

Director Of Operations

Autumn Anderson has had a love for plants since growing up on her family’s farm in Idaho and having raised a variety of animals and a large garden. She has always had a passion for using plants for food and healing purposes. Autumn once studied to be an ultrasound and X-ray technician and has always dreamed of being a botanist or herbalist.
Autumn met Jana back in 2006 and joined Bears Ears Farms shortly after it was founded. She enjoys collecting edible plants, gardening, and rockhounding with her husband. She now gets to enjoy working in botany and herbalism and finds it rewarding to be with a team that is making a real difference.
Dawnan Wojcik

Director Of Formulation

Dawnan Wojcik was born and raised in Blanding. She moved after graduating and returned with her husband to raise a family.
Dawnan has always had a green thumb and loves gardening. This passion inspired her to grow cannabis and join BEF. She fits in like family and has an infectious way of making others feel happy.

Mitch Shumway was born here and has been a Blanding native for most of his life. He joined the oil industry when he was only 16 and by age 24 was married and starting a family.
