WOW what a place!! our stay here at the farm had been absolutely wonderful! The view was breathtaking, something we'll never forget! The family was so loving and welcomeing, making our stay so pleasant. The food was delicious, and the farm was so full of life with many animals and plants. We have learned so much about plantation, animals, food and sustainability. We got to gelt milk the goats and cow, and made cheese out of it!! We loved the farm and would love to come back!

It was a rich experience to get to know the artisanal production of cheeses, snacks, and cachaça, as well as the routine of a small family-owned business. I am grateful for the opportunity and for having been welcomed myself and my cat, Luna, with so much kindness.
I also had pleasant moments of companionship, outings, and exchanges that allowed me to get to know the region better. In my case, some expectations of the routine became clearer as the experience progressed, which required adaptation and flexibility. Overall, it was a very enriching learning experience.

The experience at the site was great; it's a beautiful place with various activities. Guilherme, Erica, and the little Lis welcomed us very well and even took us to meet friends from the community and regional tourist spots. During the period, we did video recording from the accommodations to the production of handmade crafts, so we ended up following more the theory behind things. Therefore, I recommend that future volunteers say what they want to get their hands on (they are very open and let us feel free to do so). My thanks for the time, exchanges, and the campfires together.

Thank you for the tips, ideas and points for improvement....really trying to understand permaculture is very broad and subjective....it's in many things that can slip through our fingers, eyes and lenses...so it requires specifying more objective practices together between the host and the volunteers...and among so many activities the priorities can only become clearer when time is short. Anyway, mutual learning without a doubt. Endless gratitude for the partnership and camaraderie.

The site experience was great. Erica and Gui are attentive hosts who care about making us feel at home. The site is beautiful and provides a rich experience, sustainable practices, care of animals, handmade productions, and welcoming conversations. Remote work was possible with good Wi-Fi and respect for the routine. I loved being able to ride a quad on the mountain and to meet places and dear friends of theirs. If you align from the start what you want to take from the experience and maintain clear communication, you will have a perfect volunteering ahead. Gratitude for this time together, dear ones! Kiss to the boss lady. :*

My experience at the farm had good moments of interaction with the hosts: Guilherme, Erica and their little daughter. Generous, they spared no effort to welcome me well and offer the best accommodation I have ever had. The property is large and full of climbs, requiring a good physical condition to work on the site. I recommend coordinating the activities with the host before you go, as the seasonality of the plantings and the site's priorities change weekly.

Nuestra experiencia en la granja fue muy linda, pasamos dos semanas con mi pareja y nunca habíamos disfrutado tanto de un atardecer 🌅 La ubicación es increíble 😍 Aprendimos mucho sobre realizar trabajos de agricultura orgánica y biodinámica! Las comidas de Nibia muy ricas así como también los panes y bolos que realiza Erica. Probamos licores caseros que elabora Gi y fue todo muito legal! RECOMIENDO ❤️

O lugar é lindo, tem bastante contato com a natureza e os animais são adoráveis. As tarefas foram bem tranquilas. Os anfitriões são muito hospitaleiros e me fizeram sentir bem à vontade. Os funcionários que trabalham lá também foram muito legais e me auxiliaram bastante. A acomodação foi incrível. Um desafio pra mim foi as subidas e descidas, então estejam com o treino de perna em dia.

Essa foi minha primeira experiência e já abri com chave de ouro! Erica e Gui são gente boa e me acolheram super bem. São comunicativos e alto astral, tranquilos, flexíveis e sensatos. Além de outras milhares de coisas, Erica faz uns pães de fermentação natural super delícia e Gui inventa moda nas cachaças e fermentados! O sítio é muito agradável e a água é potável por todos os lados! Uma vista que inspira, uma variedade de animais que convive alegremente e uma linda oportunidade de estar conectada com a paz do campo. Refeições sempre deliciosas, boa net e todos os recursos disponíveis. Amei!

Essa foi a minha primeira experiência na Worldpackers, depois de muita procura eu encontrei o projeto. Honestamente, em poucos lugares fui tão bem acolhida como lá. Desde o primeiro dia, o Gui e a Érica me fizeram sentir como se eu estivesse em casa. As tarefas são simples, e eles respeitaram os horários. Aprendi muito sobre a vida no sítio, que vou levar comigo e compartilhar. A paisagem com certeza te deixa sem fôlego, e transmite uma paz imensa, vou sentir muita falta disso, do lugar, das pessoas, da comida (maravilhosa haha), e com certeza, dos animais. Espero poder voltar um dia :)

Hi Bia, thanks for the compliments; we're really glad that it was a nice experience for you. It was our first time too, and your pleasant, calm, and discreet personality made all the difference. I also want to point out that even when you were less supervised, you were very disciplined and I never noticed any slack on your part. In other words, you were very committed (and professional, if that word fits). I was really impressed in this regard. I hope you carry the good moments with you and that you return whenever you can. You will always be welcome. Big hug
