The Experience

How about spending a few days at the rhythm of the countryside, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, next to a typical Bahian family? 🌿 At Sítio Véi Chico, you’ll experience up close the Cabruca system — traditional cocoa cultivation shaded by the forest — and you’ll learn the process of artisanal chocolate from tree to bar. We open the gates to creative people who want to exchange experiences, producing photos, videos and materials for social media.

My experience at the farm was wonderful! I felt right at home and welcomed by Luciano and his mother Lúcia, kind hosts. Not to mention the other people with whom we shared the days… The accommodations are comfortable and the grounds are spectacular, I take it as an example for myself, as I also want to have a farm… Luciano was always willing to teach and answer my various questions haha. There I helped with eco bricks, in the preparations for the chocolate fair, I learned a lot about farming and I tasted new flavors. I also really liked that everyone pitched in at work… Much gratitude for the experience!

My experience was great. Lucinha and Luciano welcomed me very well and made me feel at ease. The tasks helping around the house, in the cocoa harvest, and at the factory were calm. We also went to the Sarau in Serra Grande to display the chocolates. I loved getting to know the sítio véi Chico, learning about the cabruca system and how the production of fine chocolate is done. Congratulations on the work and thank you for welcoming me to your home ❤️🙏

Ah, unfortunately we couldn\'t start this experience at the sítio, because Luciano had a health issue in the family and so we need to postpone this contact, which for me certainly will happen soon and with much pleasure. (= Note: I believe there was a failure on the Worldpackers platform because it was not possible to cancel the trip, but I contacted support and they updated this record by finalizing before the original departure date.

Vivi no sítio os melhores dias da minha vida, de verdade. O Luciano é muito responsável, pragmático e respeitoso. É um dos caras mais focados e inteligentes que eu já conheci. Tinha dias que me sentia um pouco sozinho, mas a Lucinha (mãe do Luciano) é muito receptiva, gosta de conversar e é muito cuidadosa. Também pude conhecer o pessoal da cidade e jogar vôlei. O lugar é lindo, um dos mais preservados do mundo, creio eu. Recomendo demais!

A estada no sítio foi ótimo. O Luciano e a Luciene são pessoas maravilhosas, sensíveis, generosas. Me senti em casa durante a minha estada no sítio, acolhedo, bem-vindo. O Luciano é uma pessoa muito receptiva, inteligente, com muitas idéias para criar um ambiente respeituoso, ligado com a natureza. Eu aprendi bastante coisas sobre o cacau, a natureza da localidade, da Mata Atlântica, o chocolate. A comida foi maravilhosa, deliciosa, generosa. Agradeço sinceramente e profundamente o Luciano e a Luciene. Até logo! Um abraço
