President’s Message: Penelope Hunt

President’s Message: Penelope Hunt

Penny and her husband, John Hunt, own a 130-acre farm in northern Chester County where they have raised a closed Angus herd for the past 32 years.  For the last eight years they have been cross-breeding very successfully with Wagyu.  And, during Covid-19, they are selling direct! They also run a horse boarding operation.  All feed for these operations is grown on the farm and other rented land.  Both steers and horses require a lot of pasture!

Penny brings considerable organizational skills to her presidency.  She is retired after 30 years as Executive Director of a national non-profit where she organized symposiums, meetings and study trips in the U.S. and Europe.  She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and holds the masters degree in American Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.
