Terra Preta Farm: A Porcion of Edinburg

The original vision for this project was to capture the history of the diverse farming families who found their way to Edinburg, planted roots, cultivated crops, embedded themselves into the community and made this place their home. As more growth and development further extends the northern populated boundaries of Edinburg, we find it more important than ever to capture this rich farming history before cement and macadam replace freshly disked fields and the enveloping aroma of citrus trees and fresh vegetables. In this report, you will discover how a young family moved to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas within the past fifteen years and successfully built an organic farm from the ground up (pun intended!) into a thriving wholesale agricultural business. Discover how, through hard work, education, and dedication, they overcame challenges and became an integral part of the farming community in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas by making a positive impact on the community.
