Our Story
Welcome to Tierra Sagrada, a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing Pennsylvania’s landscapes and communities through placemaking and shared stewardship. We transform land into food forests, gardens, and gathering places that nourish both people and the earth.
Our projects double as living classrooms where youth, neighbors, and guest speakers come together to share skills, learn by doing, and build spaces that reflect community care. Each initiative—whether planting, building, or teaching—connects resilience with tradition, ensuring that knowledge and resources flow across generations.
At Tierra Sagrada, we believe true empowerment begins with reclaiming autonomy over life’s essentials: food, shelter, and community. More than a school, we are a movement for regeneration—inviting people to imagine and build the future they want to belong to.
Our Mission
Tierra Sagrada empowers communities through ecological placemaking, hands-on education, and collaborative stewardship—transforming land into resilient spaces that support both people and the planet.
Our Vision
We envision communities where people and land flourish together — strengthened through accessible education, sustainable land use practices, and public spaces that foster resilience, equity, and environmental stewardship.
Our Team
Tierra Sagrada is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2024 by farmers, carpenters, entrepreneurs, craftspeople, and artists. Tierra Sagrada is a collective of people passionate about creating a more resilient, lively, rich culture, and society from our roots in Northern Appalachia.
