Julia Sendor, Executive Director
Julia grew up here in Orange County, NC. Now in her eighth year of full-time farming, Julia is committed to creating a place where people and land can thrive together. This commitment is grounded in the perspectives and stories learned from previous work as a newspaper reporter, community organizer, weaving association consultant, and student of Environmental Studies — as well from family and community members whose own lives have centered around storytelling, story-listening, land-loving, and truth-seeking. Julia lives in Hillsborough, NC, with her husband Andrew.

Chas received an MA in Christian Studies at Duke Divinity School where his research-focus centered on themes related to Christian Education and Agrarian Studies. Chas coordinates Anathoth’s adult internship programs where he is particularly passionate about facilitating opportunities for interns to connect their life of faith with the health of the land and community. Chas lives with his wife, Hannah, and daughters, Heidi and Margaux on “the farm”.
