At Agrofloresta Casa Velha you will live in Robinho's house, and not in the galpão dos loucos e drogados, so you must know how to behave as a human being.
Here volunteers have the opportunity to learn and practice permaculture, agroforestry, and construction. This includes techniques of sustainable cultivation, garden management, tree planting, large-scale composting, experiencing a healthy, balanced routine connected to nature. We seek engaged, curious people interested in contributing to a sustainable and ecological lifestyle.
From Monday to Friday the meals are prepared by someone; on Saturdays and Sundays we have an equipped kitchen and food but no cook, so if you have to eat you must cook or eat fruits and vegetables that are always available at the house.
We have no holidays.
Functions in the agroforestry:
Care of the garden and soil
Fertilization and harvest of organic foods
Planting and maintenance of trees

Piling firewood and carrying prunings

Various tasks in the countryside
Hours:
20 hours per week, from 08:00 to 12:00.

There is no cook on Saturdays and Sundays; eat fruits and vegetables or use the kitchen for whatever you want to prepare.
Do not drink in the house and do not arrive too high on cocaine or alcohol.
Smoke outside the house.
Do not touch what isn't yours; do not rummage through cabinets and drawers.
Do not complain about the animals, hit them, tell them to be quiet, etc.; if they bother you you should leave the old house, because they live here and you are passing through.
It is forbidden to pee standing up; you must sit down. If it happens you will be warned, and if it happens again you have to leave the volunteer program.
Do not put your hands and fingers in pots and pans (use cutlery); the spoon from your mouth does not go in the food, or in the pot; here your finger is not enough to pick salt or any other food; do not put hands in the food (use cutlery); do not return leftovers to pots and pans (this is not Brazilian culture and is considered rude)
Do not touch tools without authorization.
Do not spit, clear your nose or brush your teeth in the kitchen; do this in the bathroom or outside the house.
Do not stay awake and making noise after 22:00; sleep is important for health and work, if you don't sleep stay quiet, tread lightly in the house and on the stairs, silence the phone and do not laugh loudly at night.

We do not host insects or children.
