Simmons Family Farms
About Us
Penel Simmons: Penel has been involved with many facets of horticulture
during the last 40 years including permaculture and master gardener training
courses. She currently works full-time at Gardens in Austin and spends the
rest of her time working and teaching the rest of us out on the farm. For a more
information, click on her picture.
Harry & Maew Simmons: Harry has just finished several years studying an
advanced degree in tropical horticulture (bamboo) in Thailand. He also has a BS
in Horticulture. Maew has many years of experience growing and cultivating
vegetables in Thailand. She has sold more produce than the rest of us
combined. We think it might be because she includes free Thai recipes.
Jacob & Sue Simmons: Jacob is a violin maker and Sue a tutor and full-time
mom. Jacob can fix anything which, unfortunately for him, means he gets the
unpleasant tasks of fixing broken machinery and buildings. He also takes care of
chickens and cows. Sue gardens and uses her educational background to keep
our farm on track.
Dan Simmons: Dan is the youngest of the 5 Simmons siblings. He has been
fascinated with tractors since before he could walk and has become our go-to
man when tractor maneuvering skills are a must.
Chutima "Apple" Simmons: Apple, as she likes to be called, is currently
attending Lockhart High School and helps her parents (Harry and Maew)
whenever it doesn't interfere with her busy scholastic and social schedule.
Lonnie Rincon: Lonnie was adopted into the family 13 years ago and
specializes in anything requiring strong, physical effort and a surly disposition, for
both of which he is overqualified.
