    Description

    Hello, my name is Bruno. I was born in 1985 and manage this place for my family. The property had been abandoned for a long time before we resumed operations in 2020. We raise cattle here to support the farm and also maintain a vegetable garden, an orchard, and other animals—such as sheep, horses, chickens, and pigs—to assist with our work and livelihood.

    To help manage the place, I rely on a single couple who work here and live on-site with their young son.

    We enjoy hosting workers from around the world, and—as with any rural property—there is always work to be done. However, our farm does not require extra labor for its regular daily operations. Since hosting guests entails additional food costs and disrupts our routine, we only accept workers when a specific side project is underway. Feel free to ask us about it!

    Tasks vary significantly and can range from light to heavy work.

    Occasionally, family and friends visit to enjoy the property. We have a nature reserve area featuring wild birds and animals, as well as small trails, a stream, and a lake where you can fish—or at least give it a try!

    We love nature, value sustainability, and respect animals; however, we are just a small rural farm that still preserves much of the old culture—for better or worse.

    That is why exchanging experiences with other cultures can be interesting for us—helping us discover new perspectives and ways of doing things—just as it can be for our guests. You are welcome here!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Visitors can observe the daily routine of cattle ranching and the work of the ranch hands, as well as interact with local residents and animals amidst nature—since more than half of the property consists of preserved forest. We also raise fish, pigs, and chickens, and repurpose resources right here on the property.

    We often trade our surplus produce with other local residents.

    As the property was reactivated only a few years ago, we still have many activities to implement; we would like to draw on people's expertise to launch sustainable projects focused on the vegetable garden, water and waste management, and timber harvesting and replanting, among other initiatives.
