🌿 About TerrAjuda
Where food, community & creativity grow together.
Life connects people for a reason. At TerrAjuda, those connections happen through food, shared experience, meaningful work, and community — all rooted in land, passion, and purpose.
🌱 Our Journey
It all started with a piece of land in Portugal and a dream to create real experiences, not just stays.
Instead of running a typical B&B, our co-founder Sofia transformed her land into a thriving community farm and experiential hub — hosting volunteers, local musicians and farm-to-table dinners that brought people together around food and creativity.
That spirit of openness, collaboration, and joy didn’t stop when the land changed — it grew. New land was found by a river near Tomar, and with it came a renewed vision: to keep building places and experiences that nourish people, planet and culture.
💫 Who We Are
We’re a small, passionate tribe — driven by values like community, joy, curiosity and contribution. While we are at the heart of the project, our vision goes beyond us: it’s about working with others, not just for them.
Together we bring:
-
Food-centred experiences
-
Creative gatherings & workshops
-
Community-led events
-
Hands-on learning
-
Collaborative projects with local partners
🤝 Our Philosophy
✨ Grow together.
✨ Eat well.
✨ Share stories.
✨ Create meaning.
Living, learning, cooking and celebrating — side by side — is how we think growth should feel.
🍽️ More Than a Place — A Movement
TerrAjuda isn’t just a farm or venue — it’s a living hub where food, creativity and community build experiences that matter.
