Sloyd & Croft
This week we sat down with Sloyd & Croft, a faith based, hands-on Microschool for budding creatives, who are naturally wired for innovation. In addition to the 3 R’s, daily work in traditional woodworking, boat building, platen letterpress printing, and more, provides the challenges that hone problem solving skills, promote collaboration, develop innovation, and build community. Emphasizing more than skills, the Sloyd method seeks to cultivate 12 habits necessary to excel in life, whether that’s in business, college, or service in the church or military. Curious creatives enjoy personalized instruction, daily outdoor adventures, and an engaged community of professional craftsmen, artists and entrepreneurs.

Rich History
Castroville is rich in history dating back to 1844 when the town was founded by Henri Castro. The first European emigrant settlers in this area were mostly Catholic farmers from Alsace, a region of France, brought over to fulfill Castro’s contract to colonize vacant Texas Land. Calling themselves Alsatians, they were mostly of German decent speaking a dialect of German and French. Visit our HISTORY & HERITAGE page to learn more.
