Farming at Chapada da Diamantina, Brazil

Detalhes

• 

  Descrição

  I've moved from being a rancher in the south of Minas Gerais state, and got a small farm in Bahia, at Chapada da Diamantina.
  Now preparing the soil to plant coffee.
  There's also chickens, fruit trees and a whole farm to manage.
  The idea of hosting volunteers is use these opportunities to plant more trees, make more seedlings, help improving the guesthouse and the garden and also giving me a hand on everyday work.
  
  The farm is 10km from Piatã (20.000 inhabitants) town. Around 2h drive from Vale do Capão, Palmeiras and Igatu, and 1:30h drive from Mucugê.
  I live here by myself, but am surrounded by a great community of coffee farmers, where the volunteers can also get to know.
  
  There are two houses at the farm. You can either stay at the guesthouse (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen and livingroom), or at the guestroom in the main house if the other one is full.
  You will be resposible for cleaning the place you're living at. Bedroom, bathroom, livingroom and kitchen. Also, the bed sheets and towels. I'll provide the cleaning products.
  
  To get here by plane/bus:
  From Salvador: get a bus to Seabra (9-10h) or a direct bus to Piatã.
  From Palmeira (Capão) or Lençóis: take the van to Seabra and another van to Piatã.
  From Vitória da Conquista there's a van that comes every week. About 6h trip by van.
  
  On day off, we can arrange to travel around the region. Chapada da Diamantina National Park is HUGE and there's a lot to do around!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I moved here early 2023 because I fell in love with the region. The culture, the people, the waterfalls, caves, trails, everything.
  So I believe that not only can be an amazing experience and exchange of knowlodge and culture between myself and you, but also you'll love the region!

  Ajuda

  I look for a pair of hands to help at the farm. We'll work together planting, taking care of the crops and everyday fixing. Yep... Things always need a fix at a farm.
  
  I also need some good pictures and videos.
  
  So if you want to get your hands full of dirt and morning dew, while drinking coffee with a amazing view and live on a nice cosy small town, you're the person I'm looking for.
  
  There's no fixed schedule, but no laziness as well.
  To be strong, have farming experience, know how to drive a tractor, etc are NOT required. But remember that work at a farm sometimes is demanding and heavy. So to have a good physical health is kind of basic.
