  Descrição

  Hello, my name is Juliana (Brazilian, 39yo) and I live here on our small farm in the Mantiqueira region with my husband Jacques (South African, 44yo) and our baby Benjamin. I work mostly online and Jacques manages the farm's animals and organic food production.
  
  Our goal is to grow most of our food in our land as well as making a business from the chickens and eggs we sell, the pigs and charcutarie production, which we've started recently and in the future producing essential oils, jams and other products from we can grow (which we are starting to plant now).
  
  Most of the work we need help with at moment is building / maintanance as we are are always improving the infrastructure with things such as barns, chicken coups, fences, etc. At the moment we are biulding a new volunteer house, a cob house which we are super excited about.
  The work is from 7am until 12pm and volunteers have the free afternoon to spend as they wish.
  
  We are flexible on schedule and LGBTQ+ friendly.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Learn with us about food production in an organic system working with us in the land, learn how to care for the pigs. Plus there's the general maintanance of a farm so there's plenty opportunity to learn about it. We are always working on projects to improve our farm and improve the infrastructure, there's always work like panting, plastering, building, carrying materials, etc. Everyday something new may come up for you to learn and also teach us. We will be together everyday, exchanging knowledge, life stories and some meals.

  Ajuda

  We are seeking assistance with various tasks:
  
  1. Planting and managing food garden
  2. Caring for animals, including chickens and pigs
  3. Cleaning and taking care of the volunteer house
  4. Carpentry and construction.
  5. Occasionally Dog sitting and house sitting when we need to leave the farm.
  
  We prefer individuals with experience and enthusiasm in at least 1-2 of the tasks listed above.
  
  It's important for us that volunteers are comfortable speaking English because, who runs most of the farm work is still learning Portuguese but it's fluent in English and we had some experiences with non-English speakers where the language barrier made life more difficult.

  Acomodação

  We have 3 options of houses to host volunteers:
  1) The white flat: it's a recently renovated space with a kitchen, bedroom, lounge, private bathroom and outdoor shower (private and heated, in a cool area, surounded by nature). It has 2 bunk beds => 4 people
  
  2) The cob house: our newest house, built from materials from the land, with the help of many volunteers. It's a 1 bedroom (doble bad), 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen, small dining table => 2 people
  
  3) The pink house: a comfortable 2 bedroom + 1 bathroom house, with a nice view. A fully equipped kitchen and all amenities for comfortable living. Common spaces are shared (kitchen, lounge, bathroom). This is a a house that we also rent for guests, so it's not always available for volunteers => 4 people
  
  The food we provide: Grocery staples such as rice, beans, lentils, oats, coffee, sugar, pasta, flour, tea, oil, spices, etc. And also some eggs/veggies/fruits from the garden, depending on the season. Anything else, can be bought at the shop close to us, to which we provide rides when needed.
  
  It's expected that you keep the house clean and take good care of it. From past experience with messy volunteers, we now require a weekly deep clean around the house, not just sweeping and doing dishes, to keep a good environment and energy but also to protect you from bugs and animals coming into the house.
  
  Jacques and I live in a separate house in the same land, so we are close to help with anything and to share meals, conversations and experiences.

  Algo mais...

  The farm is in a quiet rural area, so don't expect much touristic activities at a walking distance.
  
  There is a nice waterfall an 1 hour hike from the farm. We also have hammocks and bonfires at the house, and you can swim in the lake and use the barbecue. We enjoy sharing meals, watching movies and hanging out with the volunteers.
  
  On weekends, if you want to travel, there's a bus station in town (which is about 25min away by car. If we can't give you a ride there, an uber wil cost you R$80 / US$15).
  
  We often visit the nearest market in town quite often, and we can give you a ride.
  
  We expect you to clean up after yourself and prepare your own meals.
  
  The food we provide is dry goods such as coffee, rice, pasta, beans, oats, flour, salt, sugar, spices, etc. Other foods like meats, fruits, snacks, etc, are your responsibility.
