Voluntariar no sítio foi uma experiência bem bacana, Pedro e Mari são anfitriões super legais e receptivos. As tarefas foram leves e envolveram limpeza do local, capinar, ajudar na horta e alimentar os animais silvestres da floresta que eles preservam... Todos os dias eu avistava um animal diferente o que tornou a experiência muito divertida! O espaço é muito grande contando com cachoeiras, o sítio, trilhas e áreas de camping. Enfim foi uma experiência curta porém bem legal 😃

Apesar de pouco tempo no the farm, ainda assim foi uma boa experiência onde eu pude vivenciar de perto projetos sustentáveis como o banheiro seco compostável, fossa biodigestora e da compostagem de alimentos. As tarefas do local são tranquilas e cumpre os horários. Além de no próprio sítio ter o lago, poucos passos depois tem uma cachoeira bem bacana e trilhas boas. Mari e Pedro, super receptivos e acolhedores, nos deixaram à vontade. Recomendo muito!

Voluntariar no sítio foi uma experiência muito marcante. A calmaria do lugar, o contato com a terra e as atividades propostas me ensinaram muito sobre cultivo, reciclagem e preservação. Mariana, Pedro e Flora são extremamente receptivos e flexíveis, o que tornou tudo ainda mais especial, principalmente por ser um lugar afastado da cidade. Também foi muito legal conhecer os familiares, amigos e as pessoas que fazem parte da rotina do sítio, como Camilo e Samantha. Saio daqui levando aprendizados, boas lembranças e muita gratidão. E, com certeza, voltarei para passar outra temporada.

Recomendo muito fazer esse voluntariado! O Pedro e a Mari têm um projeto ecossustentável incrível, que faz bem para o planeta. Além disso, todo dia você tem a chance de conhecer uma espécie nova de ave e vários outros animais. Os anfitriões são super queridos e fazem de tudo para que você tenha uma ótima estadia. Eles têm uma filhinha muito fofa, a Florita, que roubou completamente o nosso coração. As paisagens são simplesmente incríveis, e o lugar tem vários cantinhos e atrações naturais que tornam a experiência ainda mais especial.

The farm foi um lugar mágico pra mim, cheio de Natureza, a cada día conhecíamos mais um passarinho, outro animalzinho, Bôas pessoas e Flora a filha dos nossos anfitriões foi o morango do bolo, a luz da casa toda. Pedro e Mari sempre atenciosos conosco, flexíveis com os horarios. Sentiremos saudades, muito obrigado por tudo.
