Description
My name os Fabio, i'm a permacuture intusiastic from Rio de janeiro, that moved in to the montains to start a project with compost and worms, in a sustainable and nature friendly way. We are working hard in a land with 150 hectares. We are starting a pleasant organic farm. Food garden, fruit orchard, we make products such as bio fertilizer and compost mix in order to finance our project.
We want people who stay here to feel comfortable and at home in a beatiful camping. All the resources are shared. Our "kitchen" is vegetarian, but with taste. Our focus is to live in harmony with the land and the community around us. We work 5 hours a day, morning or afternoon. We try to live in a sustainable way and are open to learning new ways to work and develop our project.

the life in this small village is so different of the rest of the country. people are really open for conversation and we try to enjoy the city as much as we can.
So it is a unique opportunity to get in touch of a easy going life style in the country side.
you will be able to see some projects like mushroom production, organic farms like açaí factory. Shamanic experiences are held every month in town.
Help
We are aiming to start to build a house with bio-construction in 2018.
We need help in these activities and it would be great if people who have previous experience and knowledge with this kind of method would come to share experiences with us.
We let our desire choose the labor of the day. The work is not always on our land, it could be at home, on a friends property, collecting organic matter, or even visiting a waterfall.
We work hard here! And we work together.
We prefer that you do activities that you are good at, and do for pleasure.
Feel free to ask and start a conversation. ;)
