Meet The Teachers!
from The Farm and Forge Podcast Hosted by The Farm and Forge Club
In this episode of the Farm & Forge Podcast, we introduce you to the educators behind the work. Robert Garrett sits down with our 3 lovely teachers—Mrs. Miyake, Mrs. Harper, and Mrs. Pickman—to share their backgrounds, their journeys through education, and what ultimately led them to Farm & Forge. From decades in public and private schools to engineering, homeschooling, tutoring, and leadership roles, each brings a unique perspective on teaching and learning. The conversation explores why these educators chose to step away from traditional models, what drew them to something so different, and how Farm & Forge allows them to focus on what they love most: teaching students, building relationships, and saying “yes” more often than “no.” This episode is all about people, purpose, and perspective—and gives a deeper look into the culture that defines Farm & Forge. Subscribe for future episodes as we continue exploring how we do school, how we support students, and how education can work differently. #ForgeIn 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Meet Mrs. Miyake — Science 03:39 Meet Mrs. Harper — English 07:28 Meet Mrs. Pickman — Math 14:14 How Each Teacher Found Farm & Forge 17:00 “Is This Job Real?” 18:53 Robert Garrett’s Background 21:56 Family, Parenting & Perspective 24:02 Saying "Yes" More Than "No" in Education 24:36 Teachers on Family & Life Outside School 26:15 Community, Gratitude & Balance 29:08 Closing Thoughts
