O seu Gentil e a família me adotaram, eles são muito especiais. Quando tu entra nooo o sítioparece que acessa um universo paralelo, onde a vida é mais calma, se sente uma paz no ar. O seu Gentil tem muito a nos ensinar e adora apresentar a vida nooo o sítiopra as pessoas. Super recomendo a experiência se quiser aprender sobre viver em mais harmonia com a natureza, a se alimentar de forma natural e viver no meioo sítio mato por uns dias. É um ambiente seguro, acolhedor e muito enriquecedor.

Agradeço muito!!! Tiramos leite de vaca, extraímos polpa de açaí, fizemos queijo e manteiga, cortamos lenha... andei de carroça e de bike, adubei bananeiras, plantei uma uvaia, dentre outras atividades legais. Gentil sempre muito paciente comigo, disposto a me ensinar com bastante calma. Conheci 2 cachoeiras lindas e pude ver o pôro sítio sol e o céu estrelado no Morro Grande. Foi uma experiência que me tirou da zona de conforto, uma vez que a vida noo o sítioé bastante livre, a casa não possui trancas hehe. Abraço: Gentil, Nadine, Paula, vó Alzira, Biju, Pimenta, Juçara, Bornita, Chiquinha e Bacon.

Fiquei quase 1 mês noo sítio, e foi simplesmente transformadora a minha experiência. Cheguei buscando viver algo novo e saí entendendo muito mais sobre a terra, sobre o tempo das coisas e sobre mim mesma. Aprendi na prática sobre plantar, colher, cuidar e respeitar cada etapa da natureza. Participei de atividades eco, me conectei com a terra de um jeito que nunca tinha vivido antes. O ambiente é acolhedor, leve e cheio de boas energias. O Gentil é uma pessoa maravilhosa e sua família é fantástica, só tenho a agradecer por essas semanas, por tudo! Obrigadaoo sítio! ❤️

Minha experiência no the farmfoi muito gratificante, é uma imersão em agrofloresta, permacultura e agroecologia. Gentil é uma pessoa que tem muito conhecimento e sabedoria que sempre transmite, muito tranquilo e sonhador de que um mundo melhor é possível. A sua família também foi muito acolhedora e amável, fazendo-nos sentir muito confortáveis e como parte da família! As tarefas são muito variadas e enriquecedoras, sentindo-se sempre em contacto com a natureza. Sou grata por existirem pessoas assim, o que permite uma experiência única de enriquecimento cultural e espiritual !
