    Description

    The site is a permaculture experiment located in the Serra da Aratanha. It is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in a calm place in tune with the rhythm of nature. Its biodiversity provides daily discoveries of animals and plants. Ispinho e Fulô is also a poem by the communist poet Patativa do Assaré. Permaculture is the main tool for planning and carrying out activities integrating agroforestry, vegetable gardens, ornamental and medicinal gardens, chicken coops, meliponaries, roof gardens, bioconstructions and people. We hope to welcome people willing to exchange knowledge, experiences and affections and interact deeply with nature and its rhythm.

    A permacultura é a principal ferramenta para planejar e realizar as atividades integrando agrofloresta, horta, jardim ornamental e medicinal, galinheiro, meliponário, telhado jardim, bioconstruções e pessoas.

    Esperamos acolher pessoas dispostas a trocar conhecimentos, experiências e afetos e interagir profundamente com a natureza e o seu ritmo.
