Isaac Lewin

Director of Sales & Business Development

Isaac leads sales and business development at Country Life Natural Foods, where he works directly with the families, bakers, and wholesale buyers who order from us. That means a lot of time analyzing what people are actually cooking, how much they go through, and what keeps a pantry stocked without waste. He built the Country Life Plus membership around what those conversations taught him about how people buy whole foods over the long haul. His guides cover the practical side: choosing between varieties, buying in bulk without overcommitting, and storing staples so they last.

Mitchell Hagan

President & CEO

Mitchell acquired Country Life Natural Foods in January 2024 and serves as President & CEO. He came to it from healthcare administration, where he spent his career close to the connection between what people eat and how well they age. That perspective shapes what ends up on the shelves - expanding the product line and distribution while holding to the sourcing standards the Crary family set in 1960. He writes about whole foods, plant-based eating, and the practical case for keeping a pantry built on real ingredients.
