Our Waseda Farms Team




Matt Lutsey

Matt Lutsey

President 

Matt leads the overall operations of Waseda Farms as President—and brings his culinary and business background to the table as the family seeks to expand the farm’s ability to make organic food available to more people throughout the Midwest. The eldest son of Tom and Sharon, Matt has a passion for food, for restaurants, and for making exceptional flavors available in the healthiest way possible. He leads our expansion and our ability to better tell our story so that more people can experience Waseda Farms. You might get a sense of Matt’s humor and love of the animals in our advertising and photography—and certainly you’ll see his passion for food reflected throughout both of our stores. Matt also is responsible for building our Waseda Farms team—and ensuring our culture is intentional, family-focused, and committed to all things organic.

Jeff Lutsey

Jeff Lutsey

Education & Outreach Officer 

Jeff, also son of Tom and Sharon, is a mechanical engineer who graduated with honors from Northwestern University. He spent 12 years training Navy sailors on submarines, testing reactor plant safety systems, and managing reactor design teams at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory. He joined the farm team to be closer to family, be better connected to earth, and be a significant contributor to the organic food revolution. Additional pursuits of his include renewable energy and sustainable living, and he serves on the boards for the Baileys Harbor Community Association, the Ridges Sanctuary, Destination Door County, and the Boys & Girls Club of Door County. He has brought solar power to our farm operations, and he relishes the opportunity to connect and communicate the mission to schools, business partners, and neighbors.

Tom Lutsey

Tom Lutsey

Retired/Chief Farming Officer 

A lifelong businessman, it took a health scare to re-discover his passion for agriculture and lean, healthy meats. Tom's doctors advised a diet low in beef and he would hear nothing of it. He dismissed his doctor's orders and began raising healthy, organic beef for his own consumption. With the assistance of his already certified organic neighbor in Door County, the original herd grew from 6 to 40 and at that point the search for our own farm began. Tom stumbled upon Waseda Farms and has grown his small herd to approximately 100 breeding cows. Tom’s family roots include his dad’s Pulaski farm—perhaps the source of his lifelong love of tractors and all things green. Tom is Waseda Farms’ chief innovator and visionary. But mostly, Tom is happiest plowing fields, moving cattle or giving tours. Stop in and he’s sure to share a story or two.

Sharon Lutsey

Sharon Lutsey

Retired Garden Manager and Chief Image Director 

Sharon is avid gardener. Born and raised in Green Bay, she started working her family's garden at a very early age and never lost her enthusiasm for the craft. She can pickle and can with the best of them—because, as she says, no garden should ever see a harvest go to waste. Sharon wears many hats at Waseda Farms, but primarily oversees the garden and store. She has an acute eye for design-related ideas and makes sure that customers are greeted with seasonal flowers and decor.
