Here We Are.
It’s an interesting time here at Terra Cultura. We’re on the cusp of being able to share some very exciting news, but (knock on wood) we don’t want to count our chickens before they’re hatched.

Fall is a good time for reflection, for reevaluating what’s important and where to focus our energies. As the seasons transition, thoughts bend towards harvests and feasts, for those fortunate to have bounty to share. But we also know that these are difficult times, and that there are many people, places and projects in need…
