For me, the farm will always be "the paradise". Not only the place is gorgeous with the natural Swimmingpool, blooming fences and the surrounding mountains and rocks. Also the family is so warm and welcoming! It was a good time we had with Laura, Jacques and their daughter. Absolutely nice people❤️They were happy to share their home, culture, values and knowledge with us. The tasks we had here were very interesting and varied. For example, we built a wall with the techniques of bioconstruction and later painted with natural, self-made inks. Que legal!😀

I was at the farm for three weeks with my friend. Laura, Jacques and Isabella are very nice and welcoming people, they made me feel at home immediately. I did not only learn about bioconstruction and permaculture, but also about many other things. The work was really fun, but also the freetime was good, we got to exchange many traditions and foods from our countries. I would recommend this project for anyone who likes nature and being outside.

A experiência no sítio o sítio foi incrível. Eu me senti extremamente acolhida por todos. As atividades são interessantes e dinâmicas, bem diferentes de tudo que eu já tinha feito — me diverti muito participando delas, aprendi algo novo todos os dias. O local é maravilhoso, com uma vista de tirar o fôlego. Laura, Jacques e Isabela te recebem como alguém da família. A conexão com a natureza e com as pessoas torna tudo ainda mais especial. Saí querendo ficar mais e já pensando em voltar. Recomendo demais.

A minha experiência na the farm foi maravilhosa. Laura, Jacques e Isabela me acolheram como parte da família. Eles são incríveis. A gente conseguiu conectar-se inmediatamente. Aprendí muitas coisas da Bioconstrução,da Permacultura e da Agroecologia. A gente aproveitou muito juntos além do horário concordado de trabalho. Foi uma troca real de histórias,vivências e aprendizados. Só fico muito agradecido por ter tido essa possibilidade de poder vivenciar um pouco da vida cotidiana deles e eu me sentir parte dela também. Muito obrigado Jacques, Laura, Isabela, Carlão e Creuza. Até logo!

Local estabelecido em um vale em meio as montanhas de beleza natural, nos proporcionando conexão com toda criação. Laura, Jacques, Isa foram super acolhedores, nos fazendo sentir em casa. Serviço foi tranqüilo, horários flexíveis, eles são ótimos professores, eles tem amor ao saber e compartilha tudo com muita simplicidade e respeito. Tive oportunidade de ajudar na construção de um fogão de barro, manejo em plantação de bananeiras, plantio de mudas de bananeiras, café, melão, escolha e tratamento de bambú, pintura em parede de barro, tinta natural com terra. Agradeço pela troca e cuidado!
