We had such an amazing experience at the farm! Ore and Eli have a beautiful home with lots to learn from, they made us feel welcome immediately. The work was fun and enlightening. Our experience in Arraial would not have been the same without their kindness and guidance. Muito obrigada!!

I already felt a great energy when I got in touch with Ore, he directed me, suggesting the best and most comfortable way to get to Arraial d'ajuda in my full day trip from north of Bahia, guiding me through the smoothest path I could walk through to get to the farm. I can say that the stuff it's just fantastic, trustworthy and easy going, ready to teach you everything you need to know to be able to do your daily task as better as you can! Ready to help me at any time getting inside Brazilian culture and language, making sure everyone always felt comfortable with it!

Volunteering at the site was an experience of a lot of connection with nature, this place is beautiful beyond words, in addition to the perfect location, cooking on the wood stove, making cuttings and following their growth was wonderful. I learned a lot about composting and how to care for the site. This place has a wonderfully beautiful energy. I loved meeting the hosts and exchanging ideas. It was a very rich experience. Gratitude! I would love to return at another time.

My experience at Canteiros da Mata was beautiful! The contact with the soil, I learned all the preparation of the bed for planting, composting, how to use the dry leaves in garden care, I got to know many different kinds of plants, I came into contact with the little creatures that live there and would appear from time to time (monkeys, squirrels and the cat Nina ) and we always lit the wood stove to cook and keep warm on cold days!😍
Thank you Eli and Ore for having me in your space! It was a very rewarding experience 💛☀️

I loved every moment at the site; I learned a lot from Lucas and the volunteer Douglas about bioconstruction and other topics. The hosts Ore and his partner are absolutely lovely, although they couldn't be with the volunteers all the time, they were always willing to help. The site is a natural paradise aside from Arraial d’Ajuda, a very precious place with great social potential for the community. Thanks for everything ❤️
