Growing up in western Massachusetts, Terra learned to appreciate the beauty and privilege of participating in a vibrant local food system. This early exposure fueled her passion for farming, personal gardening, and for expanding food access within communities. Terra has worked on two small CSA farms in Western Massachusetts in addition to cultivating her own gardens in New England, the PNW, and in Summit County. In addition to farming, she comes with a diverse background in healthcare administration, restaurant service, community events, and outdoor education. Terra also loves rock climbing, dancing, skiing, hiking, playing on the water, chasing the sunshine, and soaking up all the beauty this world has to offer.
