About Us

Hi! Welcome to our farm! My name is Leslie Culpepper, and I am the owner of LC’s Farm School.

​

LC’s Farm School is a unique preschool program that provides a play-based, nature-centered learning environment. We nurture imagination and creativity while fostering a lifelong love of learning and a deep appreciation for agriculture. Our curriculum follows the rhythm of the seasons, allowing children to experience firsthand the changes and growth happening on our farm throughout the year.

​

We are not just a hobby farm where children come to play outdoors—though there is certainly plenty of joyful, hands-on fun! We are a real, working farm and pumpkin patch where tractors plant, crops grow, and hard work happens daily. Our students witness the full farming process and gain an understanding of the importance of agriculture in their lives. They see how drones are used to spray crops, learn how farmers practice sustainability and steward the land responsibly, help care for farm animals, and discover the value of responsibility and hard work.

Our school is located at Red Barn Ranch, our family’s working pumpkin patch. The Moreland family has been farming for over 75 years and currently operates a beef cattle operation while growing and harvesting corn and soybeans.

​

When choosing a name for our farm school, we knew we wanted to honor the legacy that started it all. Our passion for farming and agriculture began with our great-grandfather, Leslie Columbus Moreland—known to most as LC Moreland. In 1945, he purchased the first piece of land that our family still farms today. Naming our school after him is a tribute to his vision, dedication, and love for the land, and it allows us to share our family’s story with the next generation.
