Danielle is the visionary and the head farmer at Refarm Atlanta. She crop plans, plants seeds, weeds, harvests, and arranges bouquets. Basically anything farmish you could think of.

Greg is professor at Georgia Tech teaching electrical engineering. On the farm Greg fixes the tractor and works on infastructure projects like installing a walk in cooler and building a greenhouse. Greg does not touch plants if he can help it. 

Gracie is 12 years old and has her own business as well as helping out on the farm. Four times a year Gracie raises seedlings for home gardeners to take home for their own veggie gardens. She carefully selects varieties that grow well in Atlanta, grows without the use of any unnatural inputs (feels like there should be a word for this…) and then carefully pots them up to be taken to their new homes. She also keeps the farm’s thousands of seedlings well cared for.

Jane is 10 and  lends a hand on the farm sometimes, but I’m really thinking that her artistic eye will be well suited in a few years to bouquet making and graphic design. For now Jane crafts with dried flowers and see a future for herself that involves horses.

Isla is 9 and has big dreams. As the third girl born within three years she’s always felt the need to not let her sisters get too far ahead of her. She works hard so I love when she wants to work on the farm. She has recently asked to learn how to log business receipts and she doesn’t mind getting dirty. she may be well suited to having her own farm business in the future. She definitely has the drive to push our family farm to success in new markets as she gets older. 

Elliot is 6 and the only kid in our family who says he wants to be a flower farmer when he grows up, but maybe it’s not why you think. He loves to hear about the bugs, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals I see daily on the farm. It’s because we renounced pesticides, y’all. Some of his favorite sightings are the baby salamanders, box turtles, bullfrogs, praying mantises, tadpoles, hummingbirds, cardinals and hawks. I think he also likes the idea of working from home and hanging out with the farm cats all day. He has a goal of “catching” a vole before the cats.

Oscar is 4 and does not have any farming skills yet. Well, that's not really true. He does a great job of walking on the walkways and not in the planting beds, which most guests don’t get right on the first try. He’s also way above average at squirting the hose. When he grows up he either wants to drive a bulldozer or an excavator. I do not see that really being useful on a farm, but to each his own.
