From the farm, the meat plant, the fulfillment center, the office, and
the farm store- it requires a lot of dedicated people to carry out our mission every day.
MARSHALL BARTLETT | CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Marshall grew up on the Home Place and fell in love with the farm and his hometown throughout his childhood. After graduating from the Mississippi School of Math and Science, Marshall left the south to attend Dartmouth College for undergrad. After college he spent time in Montana, completed an AmeriCorps term in New Orleans rebuilding houses destroyed in Katrina, and eventually ran operations for a small business specializing in sourcing local meat for New Orleans chefs. In 2014, at the age of 24, Marshall returned to the Home Place with a new vision for the family farm, and has worked for the last 10 years to bring this vision to reality. You can usually find him on the Home Place Monday through Saturday somewhere between the meat plant, the farming operation, and the Farm Store.
