Terra Cultura

Eco-Educational Residences and Facilities: Interest in alternative, more eco-friendly housing, as well as building with sustainable, renewable resources, has blossomed in recent years. Terra Cultura is working to educate visitors about the carbon footprints of the conventionally built home, and the benefits of living in a home built with sustainability in mind.

Community Arts Engagement and Facilities: In our age of increasingly digital interactions, Terra Cultura believes that access to in-person gathering places will revitalize and nourish communities. In order to further engage with the local community, all Terra Cultura's facilities will be available to local residents. They will gain access to studio space, as well as performance, rehearsal, and event space. In this way, Terra Cultura plans to engage in an ongoing collaboration with local community members. While community members are on-site, they will also have access to the many educational, agricultural and cultural opportunities at Terra Cultura.

Agroecological and Environmental Stewardship Education: Learning the skills necessary to grow one's own food, in a way that nourishes natural systems and increases food security, empowers individuals by giving them control over an essential part of life. Terra Cultura's on-farm educational programs offered learning opportunities in agroecology, environmental stewardship and sustainable building techniques to residents of the surrounding area. These offerings included workshops, school field trips, and volunteer opportunities. These educational opportunities provided residents with a deeper connection with their environment, and the training necessary to continue the practices of agroecology and environmental stewardship in their home, farm or garden projects in their future.
