Sítio Terras Altas

A proposal for the Sítio Terras Altas project is to be a laboratory space for agricultural research and study, based on the rescue of Criollo seeds and regenerative planting, in convergence with the original native forest; we are on the foothills of Serra do Papagaio State Park, a conservation unit that protects the Atlantic Forest and the high-altitude Cerrado.
We plant annually the plots of cereals and grains, such as corn, beans, cassava, pumpkin, etc...
We also have a garden where we produce vegetables and an orchard with organic fruits, always seeking ecological approaches in our processes.
We are creating a native seedling nursery to reproduce the matrices of the original forest.
Day by day we live the mountain routine, with its challenges and joys; we have extensive experience with volunteering.

Beto RoçaMan is the space manager and for years has dedicated himself to rural life; at the moment we have no staff, and the activities are shared with volunteers.
