Rancho Sabores da Roça
O Rancho Sabores da Roça is a cozy place with a lot of countryside goodness. We are 4 km from the city. The property, currently undergoing agroecological transition, features a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants.
The experiences we want to share here on the farm will focus on agricultural production and also on processing dried fruits and teas. We have an agro-industrial facility for jams and teas where you can also gain this work experience. We also serve lunch and colonial coffee, and volunteers can work in this activity as well.
I am a person who loves nature and gastronomy, so here in my space we combine good food with the coziness of grandma's home; the farm is located near the center but with lush nature around. We treat people as if they were unique, in a very caring way. We have respect and a lot of dialogue with our collaborators here on the farm.

About the experience in: Presidente Getúlio, Brazil
Brazil
It was an incredible experience; the cuisine with all-organic products was what caught my attention the most, fresh nuts, pure açaí among other varieties of foods that are wonderful. Sonia, the host, is always very attentive, patient and willing to make you feel super comfortable. The city, from what I could tell, is always growing because it is a community that helps each other and every place that helps grows.

About the experience in: Presidente Getúlio, Brazil

Sonia asked us to lie. It wasn't professional. She told me that she has the herpes virus but uses the kitchen towels to dry her face, the same ones she uses to dry the dishes. She advertised her chickens as ORGANIC, but she feeds them with genetically modified grains. Sonia is poorly organized, fickle, and sloppy and was wasting our time by taking a long time to give us the instructions/materials needed for the job, while gossiping. And then to recover the lost time, she pressured us. In front of the house, the factory makes a lot of noise 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. I arrived happy, left exhausted.

My experience at the ranch with Sônia was wonderful! I learned to make jam, weed the ground, take care of plants, take care of farm animals, and to have an even stronger environmental awareness in me. With her I also learned a lot about medicinal plants and soil restoration. Additionally, Sônia took me to spend Christmas and New Year’s with her family and I felt very welcomed. I have much more to learn from her and I will return in the near future to help her and learn even more. Sônia is a sweetheart of a person, very meticulous, organized and patient in teaching. Thanks for everything 💙

I have no words to describe volunteering with Sonia; just saying that I came for 3 weeks and I'm already here for 4 months, haha. Sonia is a very kind person with a lot of energy. If you like nature, meeting people, and learning new things, come here — there is plenty of work to do and you can have fun. I learned to make and package galeias, harvest various fruits, take care of the garden, cook for the events that are held at the restaurant, and tasks for organizing and running the services. I highly recommend this volunteering opportunity.

Ana, thank you very much for sharing this time with me. You have already become part of my family! That's why we're still close to each other. The work with you was very good. I would recommend you to any other place that does volunteer work. Hugs, thank you very much

A Sônia foi maravilhosa comigo! Ela e a Ana (outra voluntaria) me receberam muito bem! Me senti realmente em casa no sítio dos o sítio! Aprendi muito sobre a terra e os animais! Aprendi a fazer pao, geleia e cookies. Também conheci 3 cachoeiras da região muito lindas! Todos que frequentam lá sao pessoas educadas e do bem. A Sonia precisa de bastante ajuda lá com o sítio pois tem muito trabalho pra ser realizado diariamente. Ela também ajuda muitas pessoas e a igreja local, seu coração é muito bom e podemos ver o amor se multiplicar na casa da Sonia! Só tenho a agradecer! Sonia Ana Max Pelé!
