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 ❤️

My days at the site were incredible, a pure connection with the land on an agroecological site. The hosts Ore and Eli are very dear, welcoming, and they take great care in everything they do. I had the opportunity to learn and produce a natural repellent, which made the experience even more special.
I found the initiative of separating waste excellent, showing the commitment to the planet in practice. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly and for taking care of nature with so much love.

Being immersed in that carefully tended little forest with so much dedication and responsibility also made me devote myself to this exchange without feeling the hours pass by! The place is beautiful, incredibly calm and well kept, near the sea and the town center. Eli and Ore are very welcoming and generously share their knowledge. Lucas, who spent more time at the site, was also very welcoming and helpful. I am very grateful for the opportunity and I hope to return with more time (:

I sincerely have no words to describe how special those days in Arraial, at the sítio. Ore and Eli are incredible, attentive, generous people and they do a beautiful job for nature — it's inspiring to see up close. Lucas, the responsible volunteer, welcomed me with so much care and lightness that everything became even more special. In the end, I didn't want to leave Arraial 🥹 I only have gratitude for everything I lived and for having crossed paths with such wonderful people. Soon I'll be back, haha
