    Uma experiência acolhedora na nossa fazenda cercada pela natureza

    Hi! We’re Laís and Tales – and we’d love to invite you to live a transformative experience with us in the countryside of Minas Gerais, Brazil! 🌿🐝🌞

    After traveling the world for over a year, we returned to Brazil during the pandemic and decided to completely change our lifestyle: we left the city behind and moved to a farm near Laís’ hometown, Medeiros (MG).

    Today we live in a 1-hectare clearing surrounded by eucalyptus trees, where we built our home with lots of love — and it’s now almost finished! We’re currently working on the final touches and would love some help to complete our cozy space.

    We’re also starting a new project with cattle on the farm, so we may need help with fencing, setting up infrastructure, and light animal care as we take on this exciting challenge.

    We have a garden and a small orchard that we want to see flourish: our goal is to harvest fresh vegetables, greens, and fruits straight from the land! So any help with planting, maintenance, irrigation, and harvesting is more than welcome.

    We truly value exchange, learning, and being in contact with nature. We’re looking for people who are energetic, open-minded, and eager to live an authentic experience in the countryside, helping us build this dream with their own hands.

    If you’re curious, motivated, and ready for something different, we’re waiting for you! Here, the sky is full of stars, the food is hearty, the rhythm is calm — and the exchange is genuine 💚

    Nós somos a Laís e o Tales – e queremos te convidar para viver uma experiência transformadora com a gente aqui no interior de Minas Gerais! 🌿🐝🌞

    Depois de mais de um ano viajando pelo mundo, voltamos ao Brasil durante a pandemia e decidimos mudar completamente de vida: trocamos o asfalto pela terra e viemos morar em uma fazenda, bem pertinho da cidade natal da Laís, Medeiros (MG).

    Hoje vivemos na fazenda, em uma clareira de 1 hectare cercada por eucaliptos, onde construímos com muito carinho a nossa casa — que já está quase pronta! Agora estamos na fase final, cuidando dos acabamentos, precisamos de ajuda para finalizar esse cantinho que é o nosso lar.

    Além disso, estamos iniciando um novo projeto com gado na fazenda, então também pode rolar ajuda com cercas, estrutura, manejo leve e tudo o que esse novo desafio nos apresentar.

    Temos uma horta e um pomar que queremos ver florescer com força: nosso objetivo é colher frutas, legumes e verduras fresquinhas da terra! Por isso, toda ajuda com plantio, manutenção, irrigação e colheita é super bem-vinda.

    Por aqui, valorizamos a troca, o aprendizado e o contato com a natureza. Buscamos pessoas com energia, disposição e vontade de viver uma experiência autêntica no campo, participando da vida na fazenda e nos ajudando a construir esse projeto com as próprias mãos.

    Se você tem energia, curiosidade, disposição e quer fazer parte de uma jornada diferente, a gente está te esperando! Aqui o céu é estrelado, a comida é farta, o ritmo é mais calmo — e a troca é genuína 💚
