Agricultural land produces grapes, hops, vegetables, fruit, hazelnuts and nursery plants just miles from Portland. People raise lamas, cows, horses, goats and other animals for wool, pleasure, and food. The title Terroir suggests how this region is particularly good for certain crops. This composition reflects the human hand, subdividing space into geometric areas, and honors the land.
