Our people
Two adults are with every group, and these are the ones at the gate most mornings.
Director and lead teacher
Tallulah grew up on her grandparents' farm in Robeson County and has taught young children for most of her working life. She leads Dogwood, teaches the older group and is the first adult at the barn each morning.
Assistant teacher and farm educator
Nehemiah runs the barn routines and the garden mornings. He knows each hen by her habits and teaches the children to wash up as they leave every pen.
How the adults work
One adult leads and one follows on every walk, and both carry a phone.
Adults wash after every chore too, so children see it done and not only told.
Before children arrive, an adult checks the gates, the ground and the sky.
A tour is a walk around the farm with the group on a school morning.
