Each day our team pours our hearts into creating a physical space that provides calm and respite for you our beloved community. We have had many conversations over the past week involving the fact that despite the uncertainty that surrounds us the shop still provides a sense of peace and safety from the outside world.
It is with love and the deepest desire to maintain the safety and sanctuary of our physical space and community that I make the decision to close our doors to the public at this time.
Valuing the well-being of people and the environment above all else is at the very core of every single thing we do. It’s the very fabric of our core values, and it has been from day one. And although this is a difficult message to communicate, I know it is the best decision amidst the current circumstances. We want to play our part in flattening the curve in our community; and for us, that means closing our physical space at this time.
We rely heavily on the interactions and revenue from our physical space to sustain our team financially and emotionally. That being said, we’re not out of this fight. We are committed to evolving and serving you better than ever before. We are fully embracing this weird and ever-evolving new normal convinced we will come out on the other side of this a stronger team and community than we could have ever imagined.
We will now pour our hearts and efforts into serving you solely from a distance and creating content to support you throughout this strange time. We will still be available by phone, e-mail, or direct message on social media to answer all of your questions and provide product recommendations.
We already miss your faces, hugs, and laughter. Remember this is not forever - it’s just for now. We are in this together, and we will get through this together.
Thank you for your love and continued support - it is felt and so appreciated. Below you will find tips on how you can help us continue to help you for the foreseeable future, and I invite you to stay tuned for some exciting developments in the coming days!
With love and gratitude,
Sara

Hi, I'm Sara!
If you are new around these parts, let me first say welcome! I am so happy you are here. Secondly, you may be wondering who exactly is Terra Shepherd. Terra Shepherd is actually not a person - it is a business name, a place, a way of thinking, and a community.
It is my goal to connect you with your clothing on a deeper level than you likely ever have by telling the stories of the makers, fabrics, production practices, and brands I have selected to carry in the store. I hope to help you realize the incredible value of investing in garments you truly love and are excited to cherish for years to come.
This space is intended to be one in which we learn and grow together. I welcome and encourage your feedback - it will serve as my guide with this journal.
Welcome to Terra Shepherd friends.
