Isaiah
Perkinson was born in Philadelphia, and moved to Chapel Hill,
NC when he was in high school. He attended UNCG for a year, before
he decided he could learn more away from institutional education
facilities. Isaiah takes care of all of the mechanical aspects
of the farm, from tractor work, to irrigation, to refrigeration,
to any and all broken things. He is a master at recycling old
things, and creating something out of nothing. Off season he works
as a carpenter.
Annie
Louise Perkinson grew up in Fairview after living briefly
in London as a baby and a toddler. She grew up weeding the garden,
gathering eggs, helping with canning, jamming, and freezing produce
for home consumption, and caring for her many brothers, sisters,
and 21 cousins. She attended UNC - Chapel Hill for two years,
and graduated from Warren Wilson in 1996. Annie works in the planting,
tending, greenhouse propagation, harvesting, and scheduling of
the farm. She is particularly fond of picking fruit, and working
with the flowers. 
Sidney
Rose Perkinson is the eldest daughter of Annie and Isaiah.
She is 9 years old and the social light of the family. She enjoys
playing piano, riding her unicycle, soccer, swimming, and gymnastics,
and especially playing with her friends. Her favorite part of
the farming operation is selling things at the farmer's market,
a job at which she is becoming more and more accomplished.
Ivy
Perkinson is 5 years old, and the youngest daughter. She is
wonderful in the fields, grazing on everything from strawberries
and sugar snap peas, to dandelion greens and chickweed. She particularly
enjoys playing in the tall sunflower playhouse and role playing
with us as we work around her, she is usually the mother and everyone
else is "honey".
