Welcome to Terra da Baleia
where we are enthusiastically dedicated to making the Earth healthier and more beautiful than we found it.
By restoring a plot of land and turning it in to a regenerative agricultural project, including a lush food forest. A place for all kinds of people to reconnect and enjoy nature, each other and freshly harvested food.
Together we sow, learn, create, grow, play, harvest, feast and develop innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
I invite you to be a part of this hopeful adventure!
The recipe of Terra da Baleia consists of four ingredients: Agriculture & Food, Energy & Climate, Education and Culture.
Agriculture & Food
Through regenerative agriculture and permaculture principles, we restore a biodiverse terrain that provides organic fruits and vegetables for our local market.
By working in harmony with nature, we do not only restore the health of the soil but also of the people and the connection we have to the food we eat.
We will host a festive organic market, welcoming local farmers to sell their harvest. Together, this will create a rich selection of high-quality sustainable products.
We believe that sharing food brings people together. That’s why we organise weekly neighbourhood dinners, offering delicious, affordable meals made from our own farm-fresh ingredients.
Energy & Climate
Together we are responsible for the future of all life on this planet, the time to act responsible is now.
We are striving to become exemplary in energy and climate solutions. Our off-grid, self-sufficient infrastructure combines renewable energy sources, innovative waste management systems and circular practices, setting the stage for a hopeful, bright future.
We aim to create renewable energy sources, because it creates positive impact and responsible options, inspiring people to think about how we can have a positive impact and leaving the Earth healthier and happier than we found it.
Education
Learning, growing and sharing knowledge lies at the heart of our mission. We offer a wide range of workshops, training programs and hands-on experiences for all ages and backgrounds. From permaculture and natural building to music, art and traditional crafts. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Learn about the art of natural building and sustainable construction techniques that blend seamlessly with the environment.
Explore the connection between movement, art, and music in our workshops and events, expanding your creativity and self-expression.

Terra da Baleia is a thriving cultural hub where art and culture intersect with nature. We invite creative minds to find inspiration in the surroundings and practices of Terra da Baleia and offer spaces to showcase their work or organise events.
We provide an inspiring environment for artists, allowing them to dive into nature and find inspiration for their creations.
