🌱Honoring Our Roots: A New Life on the Farm 🌱

The new jenny born on our farm, named Nellie.

The Piney Woods School carries a rich history, rooted in generosity, resilience, and a commitment to hands-on learning. Our agricultural journey began with the thoughtful gift of Mrs. Nellie F. Brooks, who donated the school’s very first animal—a jenny, the traditional term for a female donkey. Strong and dependable, she helped plow the land and establish one of Piney Woods’ earliest gardens, laying the foundation for the agricultural program that continues to flourish today.



This legacy lives on in a very special way. Recently, a new jenny was born on our farm, and in honor of Mrs. Brooks’ meaningful gift, we have named her Nellie. Her arrival is more than a nod to the past—it is a celebration of the future. Nellie embodies the growth, sustainability, and spirit of community that define Piney Woods, inspiring our learners to embrace hard work, stewardship, and gratitude.


Just as the original Nellie cultivated the land and supported the school, we hope that this new Nellie will spark curiosity, learning, and service in future generations. From our gardens to our farmhands-in-training, each moment on the farm reflects the enduring values that continue to shape The Piney Woods School story.

What a beautiful way to honor Mrs. Brooks’ legacy—naming the new jenny Nellie ties the past and future together so meaningfully. I love that the agricultural program is still growing strong after all these years. By the way, I keep a free planning and optimization tool I like to share: https://transmissionfluid.net/
