Beschreibung
After 2 amazing years exploring Australia, we'll be hosting volunteers from February onwards. We are looking especially for English native speakers, to help our kids to maintain their English.
----------------------------
We are a german and brazilian family dividing our living between our permaculture farm and a cute house in the bushes of a small historical town called Vassouras. The farm is located in Santa Isabel do Rio Preto, 180 km away from the city of Rio de Janeiro, at the border of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.
The size of our farm is 38 hectars, 20 hectars are rainforest (Mata Atlantica) and there is a clean river with some small private sand beaches, our focus at the moment is preservation and food production. In former years our focus was bioconstruction.
We are 2 adults and 3 kids. Before the pandemic, we were constantly receiving visitors, who were looking for an alternative lifestyle in harmony with nature. We produce a big part of our food organicly and we bioconstructed the main house, which has a community kitchen, living room and a bathroom. Water- and electric energy providing is completely off-grid.
We love to travel and camping. We love to cook delicious vegetarian and vegan food and would be very happy to learn new recipes from your country! You must taste our home made pizza and our vegan curries!

Was noch ...
There are some co-living basics :)
- please wash the plate you used (yes, unfortunatelly we need to say this...)
- please do not leave garbage behind, when you leave. A big part of trying to live sustainable and in harmony with nature is about lower our consumption and getting conscious of our waste. Plastic is not recycled in Brazil, so please think before you take a plastic bag in a shop.
- we have limited ressources, we need people who really are looking for an alternative lifestyle and want to come to help us. If you want to, you can bring some fresh fruits or whole grain food. We eat most of the time vegan food and sometimes vegetarian food, like home made pizza, for example. We love curries. In case you enjoy cooking, it would be great to cook something delicious from your country for us. It is no problem, if you cannot cook, then we do it and you can learn it from us :)
- as we generate our whole electrical energy, please be conscious that we can run out of energy, that is not always possible to charge your mobile phone, tablets or other things. It is an interesting exercise to slow down, get offline and rethink about how many electrical energy you actually use every day without noticing it.
- we have no phone and here in this region there is no cellphone signal.
- There is no bank or cash machine in Santa Isabel.
- We are in winter, so at night it can get cold (around 8 degrees Celsius).
- We have 4 lovely and social cats and 1 sweet dog, native bees, chickens and ducks.
- in case we go out to have some beers or dinner you are responsible for pay your consumption.
In case you are really interested in come, we would like to make a video call with you, so we can get to know us a little bit better :)

We will always remember them and we are grateful, as they made all our wooden floor, which we really needed, because our son is starting to crawl.
They were very nice to our kids and to our cats.
