Our farm name “Terra Romance” simply describes the geographic place (Romance, WV), but I’ve always liked how it works on another level: “Terra” (land), and “Romance” (a love story). In this busy, fast-paced world we far too often lose that sense of place and emotional connection to land that is such a fundamental part of the human experience. Spending time in nature is a proven wellness-enhancer, not just because of fresh air, wholesome food, and physical movement. There is something about connecting with nature through all of our senses that is undeniably good for the soul. Small farms truly embody the deep connection and relationship between people and land– taking care of one other, helping each other fulfill potential, finding wonder and awe in the everyday. You could even call it a love story.
