We are a self sustainable Eco-Farm in Brazil. We have been working with volunteers since the very beginning of the project. We aim to become an example of a sustainable international community guided by the principles of Permaculture; growing and producing while being in balance with nature through organic farming; renewable energy; agroforestry and bioconstruction; but having the support as well of a responsible use of some modern technology. In order to achieve this we believe healthy human development its a must; we must all learn to work hard together and respect each other’s cultures and backgrounds; we want to learn from our volunteers and them from us. Here we find ourselves away from the hectic rhythms of the modern system; we firmly believe this is a perfect environment for personal and community growth.
We offer volunteers an amazing and unique experience; helping us in all the different sustainable projects we run and eventually; with time; having the support of the whole team to settle down and develop their own project. We generate income by running ecotourism activities; selling locally cultivated organic food; and offering a variety of eco-sports and workshops. We welcome highly motivated people from every part of the world to join our team and grow together.
Long-term volunteering is an excellent opportunity for people who are seriously thinking of changing their lives by spending time in nature; building their own bioconstruction house; and producing their own food; energy and income. The work schedule is 40 hours per week for the first 3 months in exchange of knowledge; accommodation; food; and Wi-Fi. Every week we also organize social events and outdoor activities. Then; if both sides feel to keep working together; they can commit for a longer period and work on their own income-generating project to sustain themselves.
This volunteer program is not just about the work on bioconstruction; agroforestry and organic farming alone; it is about being part of a small and passionate community; contributing to it with each own personal touch; learning from us as well; and growing as a person in a natural; inspiring; hard-working and calm environment.
