  Description

  Hi guys. We are welcoming both short term volunteers as well as long term volunteers ! Short term volunteers will be doing general farm maintenance work, planting, gardening, composting, some woodwork/construction projects are also possible. You will need clothes and boots for the jungle ! The minimum stay is 2 weeks !
  
  Long term stay we are looking for very hands on people that learn fast or experienced landscapers/gardeners/carpenters/ farmers will have preference. People with little experience can apply but you will need to demonstrate your physical hands on abilities as much as possible. If you plan to stay long term you will need your own transportation.
  
  We provide 3 meals per day, you will cook for yourself some days.
  
  We have starlink so people with online jobs will be able to work outside the working hours.
  
  Our farm situated 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro. 45 minutes by plane to Vitória and 1 hour by car. We are located in the beautiful town Santa Teresa in the state Espirito Santo. We have 12 hectares of beautiful jungle (mata atlantica) and 6 hectares of farmland. We have a river with crystal clear water coming straight out of the national reserve passing 850 meters through our property with many natural pools and little waterfalls. Our neighbor is the amazing Augusto Ruschi National reserve with over 4000 hectares of protected forest. There are many mammals but it is most famous for birds . Augusto Ruschi was a famous Brazilian biologist specializing in hummingbirds. To the front you have an ocean view. We are 750 meters high so the temperature is comfortable.
  
  
  In your spare time you can go hiking in the natural reserve, I'm also trying to climb trees and rocks. An experienced climber could probably open up about a dozen of new routes in the area it's full of big walls and boulders. We have our own little lake to swim. There is a very nice town about 15 km from us called Santa Teresa, it's a student town and there are lots of nice bars and restaurants. There are lots of waterfalls around, we are also building an ecological pool. I also like to surf, the beach is about 40km's from the town. We like to live our life in a way we don't need a holiday ! The public transport in Santa Teresa is excellent. From Vitoria it is extremely easy to take a plane to Bahia, Rio, Sao Paulo or anywhere you want to visit in Brazil !
