The experience

We are located on a 40-hectare property in the Atlantic Forest. Here we seek to apply the concepts of Permaculture and agroecology in pursuit of a more sustainable life. We run ecotourism programs and welcome children for ecopedagogical visits. We have an agroforestry garden, SAF, a chicken coop, a food processing area and a workshop. Follow @neo.rural.rj on Instagram and learn more about the project.
