Welcome! / ¡Bienvenidos!
“Howdy y’all. Sandra and Zack here. It’s an honor to share our SwagriculturalTM dream with you!
Like all wonders of our natural world, it has come to life in its own time. After 20+ years together raising three beautiful girls, racing crazy ultra-endurance events, and working busy corporate jobs, we are called to Mother Earth.
Drawing inspiration from her natural connection to plants and her family’s agricultural heritage in Aguada, Puerto Rico, Sandra planted the first seeds of our vision by returning to school to obtain horticulture and permaculture certifications. Rooted in this expertise, we seek to develop our land using sustainable methods and share it with compassionate kindred spirits.
The road to fulfill our entire mission is long, but we are most grateful to begin. As this expedition unfolds, we would be thrilled to have you along for the ride. We invite you to lend us your imagination as we set our humble intentions to build this community together.”
