Terra Americana is a woman-owned business.
We are a group of people who love to cook, shop, travel, and give. A fascination with food and adventure has taken us around the world and back. We are inspired by people who embrace change and overcome obstacles.
We create specialty food products.
Our goals is to provide convenience without sacrificing flavor or style. We aim to produce an experience and make any meal seem toiled over and special. You are busy people like ourselves. Curious and interested in new experiences.
We are focused on reducing our carbon footprint
by sourcing locally and transitioning to more environmentally friendly packaging. By producing and packaging all of our products in-house we are well-positioned to adapt as new and more eco Friendly options become available.
We believe that food has the power to build and sustain a community.
Here are some of the ways we work towards a stronger world.
We aim to meet people where they are.
Many make poor food choices due to convenience. We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality food made with whole ingredients, which is why we have designed a more affordable line of products and sell them at our local farmers market, where people can utilize food stamps.
Fighting food insecurity is one of our passions.
We encourage our customers to donate to Feeding America by rewarding them with discounts. Our efforts have resulted in the collective donation of 70,000+ meals each year, for over a decade.
Our Commitment to The Earth
As citizens of the world, we have a vested interest in preserving the health and beauty of our earth. Here are some of the actions we are taking to honor our planet. To reduce waste, we use sustainably sourced, recycled packaging. We choose packaging options that can serve a variety of purposes. Finally, we offer a variety of products that can be refilled or purchased in bulk. We purchase strategically to reduce deliveries and lower carbon emissions. We are aware of the many costs associated with food miles and make every effort to support local producers. We are actively engaged in local agriculture and preserving farmland.
Our Commitment to Quality
We believe in sharing nature’s bounty and preserving its beauty. We strive to source high-quality, all-natural, and preservative-free ingredients locally by partnering with wonderful nearby companies like Southern New England Spice, or even by growing herbs on our farm. We go above and beyond to limit waste and ensure that our packaging is as eco-friendly as possible while adhering to strict FDA food safety standards. We use sustainably- and locally-sourced packaging made from recyclable materials wherever possible.
Our Commitment to People
Our greatest motivation is people, whether they be the people we’ve met, our customers, or our employees. Around the world, we’ve met countless people who have embraced changes and overcome obstacles. It wasn’t just the food we shared with them that inspired us—we were moved by their stories of using food to pull themselves out of poverty. From village markets in South East Asia to a Costa Rican women’s co-op selling rice and beans to local workers, we became aware of the impact that food could have on a person’s life beyond simply feeding them. Those experiences motivated us to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
