The experience

It's a recent planted coffee field (6 hectares). Now we need to weed, irrigate and fertilize it.
We're also building a greenhouse to produce more coffee seedlings.
Besides de coffee area, we need to plant, harvest, process (for own consumption) the fruits and vegetables.
There's no fixed schedule. Hours may and will vary everyday.
It's a farm! So we may have snakes, scorpions, spiders...

Program Details

The farm is located 10km from Piatã. There's no transport to move around, but we can arrange to go together to town when needed (i usually go two times a week).
Also, we can go to waterfalls, mountains and other areas around the region (when arranged between us, and on my free time).

To be strong, have farming experience, etc are NOT required. But remember that work at a farm sometimes is demanding and heavy. So to have a good physical health is kind of basic.

Activities & Shift

There's no schedule. It might rain. It might be too hot. So we can make a list of to-do's and do it together.
We might have a full 9 hours day of work in one day, but do nothing for one or two days because of the weather.

Rules

Keep everything clean and organized. Put things back where it was taken from.
I usually don't have dinner. The guest house has a fully equiped kitchen and you can feel free to cook if you want.
Expensive stuff like olive oil, honey, granola, are not included!
