  Description

  We call on volunteers to carry out work using the Superadobe construction technique. It will be another dome that we will build and will become a multipurpose room that will also serve as a science laboratory to develop our environmental education projects.
  The work will take place between December 2nd and 21st.
  We intend to receive 10 volunteers during this period.
  We need help both before and after this period of work. Anyone who can arrive early is also welcome.
  
  
  Many people don't like ants and fight against them all the time, we feel we should live harmonically with nature (including the ants), the way we found for that is living in a community and we are building ours.
  
  We are easygoing people and we decided to do this Workaway profile because we are interested in meet new people from anywhere in the world because doing that, we are sure we will improve ourselves.
  The Farm is a family property, at the moment Guilherme, Mel, Luana and Elton, friend live here now.
  
  Talking about the farm now....
  We have a 3 hectars farm where we work with permaculture. We are here since May 2016, working on agriculture, planting everything, using agroforest thecniques(syntropic agriculture), in the beggining the farm had only the fence, so we need to start from zero, doing since the the water system/eletricity etc....
  
  In march 2018 we started our houses(superadobe/erth Bags), we finished them. Thanks to many volunteers we had here helping us.
  Most of work now is agriculture.
  
  We used to host school classes here for eco tours along the past years, and in 2023 we are working to do it more often.
  
  if you want to share your time, knowledge with us, we can provide you a place where u can have a good time, enjoying nature and learnning everything we do at the farm.
