Terra Millefolia is born in 2016 on a shared farm on Île Bizard, in the Montréal archipelago. Besides seven other peri-urban farm projects, we grew there a variety of fruit and veggies for our CSA members. Medicinal herbs were then a passion we didn't have time for. We did try to develop our expertise farming medicinal herbs while still growing vegetables, but we soon realized how unrealistic that was.
In 2024, we found the land to root the farm in. We listened to our hearts and we chose to focus on organic aromatic and medicinal plants, which we now happily grow in bucolic Sainte-Ursule, Mauricie, Quebec. We love to work with artisans and herbalists who share our love for plants. Following our inspiration, we create herbal tea blends and culinary herb blends, all proudly québécois.
We believe that tea is much more than a simple beverage. It is an invitation to make time for yourself and to enjoy the moment.
And Terra Millefolia is our Wunderland, our thousand-leaved dream.
Hands in the dirt, from India to Quebec (passing through Austria!)
Both deeply interested in ecology and agriculture, we -Andreas and Sophie- met on an amazing Indian farm dedicated to agroecology. Andreas had a german B.Sc. in horticulture and an austrian Diploma in agronomy. Sophie had just graduated in Environmental Sciences and was taking a break before pursuing her studies with a research work on phytoremediation, a hybrid of biology and soil science to heal contaminated soil. In India, we developed our philosophy on agriculture and immensely grew our knowledge on seed saving, on the impact of GMOs and on the relevance of traditional techniques. Not to forget herbal medicine, an important component of Ayurveda and of daily life.
The existence of Terra Millefolia is the happy result of these experiences. Our production is an invite to slow down, to return to the simple basics and to make room for nature in our lives. We believe in the power of simple pleasures and timeless human traditions.
Let us shout out to our friends and family, whose precious support helped our dream come true !
