Terra Cultura

Programs: Creative arts and sciences education and enrichment: terra cultura believes that culture, artistic expression and courageous creative experimentation are imperative for an ever-improving society. These are things that everyone should have access to, not just professionals, experts, or the more privileged members of society. To accomplish this, terra cultura offers arts education classes and workshops to the community, providing a venue to learn in a hands-on environment. Terra cultura also hosts events for the community featuring the participants of the residency program, with an aim to expand the cultural landscape of the region.

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.

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.
