🌿🏡 Experience living on an Organic Farm in the Mantiqueira Range.
The experience
My farm is located in São Bento do Sapucaí, in the beautiful Mantiqueira Range, surrounded by mountains, silence, and many birds. We have a small organic operation with a vegetable garden, an avocado orchard, kaffir lime trees, and bananas, as well as a garden with flowers and green spaces. I am seeking volunteers interested in experiencing the daily routine of a farm and helping with day-to-day activities. 🌱✨
