01 / Read the land
Plant the water before the crop.
Every Terra farm begins with a contour survey. We map slope, flow and infiltration, then place keylines, swales and cover so rain walks slowly through the field instead of running off it.
- -38%
- runoff after two seasons
- 2.1x
- faster water infiltration
- 0
- days of bare soil
02 / The ledger
Every tonne, counted in soil.
Per hectare, per year
Cumulative, thousand tonnes

03 / The farm map
Twelve plots, each with a story.
04 / Under one footstep
The wood-wide web does the heavy lifting.
Mycorrhizal fungi trade minerals for sugar and bind carbon into aggregates that outlast any single crop. Tillage tears the web; living cover rebuilds it. We measure both.
05 / Growers
Farmers who left the soil better.
We stopped fighting the field and started feeding it. Year four, the wheat stands in a drought and the earthworms are back in the headlands.
Terra paid for the hedgerows before the first harvest from them. That is the only reason my bank said yes.
The map showed me my worst corner was my best carbon. I would never have guessed. Now I plan around it.
