What we do

Terranima is at a genuine turning point — and we think that’s worth saying clearly
The project was co-founded in 2020 by Mario and Chris. Over five years, we built the infrastructure, developed the soil, transformed our olive production to fully regenerative methods, obtained Soil Food Web certification, launched a soil laboratory, and secured European funding to run events and online training in regenerative agriculture. The foundation is solid.
Last year, Chris made the decision to start a new chapter in France. That transition — honest and mutual — has left me, Mario, as the primary person on the land. Roberta, our third co-founder and a renewable energy engineer, continues to support the administrative side of the project.

What this means in practice: the land is productive, the knowledge is deep, the network is alive — but the human layer that makes a project a community is waiting to be built.
That is exactly why I am here.
I am looking for a family or young couple who wants to arrive not as guests or volunteers, but as people ready to put down roots. To share the daily work of the land, to bring their own skills and vision, and to help grow Terranima into the small, resilient community it was always meant to become.
The apartment is available, rent-free. The olive trees are producing. The soil is alive. The European-funded programmes create ongoing connections with people and organisations across the regenerative agriculture world.

What is missing is you.

How to join

Terranima is an established project with strong roots and a clear direction, now ready to grow into something more. For those who feel genuinely aligned, a pathway toward shared stewardship, co-governance, and even land co-ownership is a real possibility over time.
We have designed a short questionnaire to begin getting to know each other. We read every response with care.

Still Point House Manager

Still Point House Manager (Northampton) Windhorse Integrative Mental Health, Inc Are you interested in working where you live? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of others? Do you have experience with running a household, and do you appreciate community-based environments? Windhorse is seeking a manager of a hosted home environment for individuals working with extreme mind states who are arriving to our step-down program. When a Windhorse client first arrives, they are received at our Still Point house, an established home environment where they can land, orient, and meet their clinical team. Each client remains at our Still Point house for two to twelve weeks, at which point they then move to an apartment, which they share with a housemate. Windhorse is seeking a Still Point Manager who will live ongoingly in a house in Northampton and help with these transitions as well as other uses for the house. This individual should be skilled at running an uplifted home (including typical home cleaning and maintenance), cooking, and shopping for the home. They also need to be emotionally regulated, welcoming, compassionate, organized, and patient. While the Still Point Manager has extensive clinical support, the job itself is not clinical. In addition, the Still Point Manager is anticipated to hold outside employment and may do so for up to 20 hours per week. During periods of vacancy when there is no client in residence, the Still Point Manager may also be asked to host guests in the home, either other housemates when they are on respite from their households, or friends and family members from the Windhorse community. In addition, during vacancy periods the Still Point Manager is responsible for providing short periods of respite coverage during housemate time off. This may involve staying with the client in their apartment while the housemate is away (typically for 3 nights) or hosting the client at the Still Point ho
