The farm felt so home-y, like my grandparents' house in Guatemala. I felt truly welcomed, loved the people, the shared meals and conversations, the after work fun activities and learned an extensive amount over agroforestry and regenerative practices! The team's kindness, flexible work hours during the heat, and comfortable dorms made it a deeply heartwarming experience. I hope to return someday. Just be prepared: the mosquitoes are very intense. Bring strong repellent and protection and have some foundational Portuguese down. You will also be preparing your own meals on days off. Gracias❤️

Sítio the farm was a beautiful place to be to learn about biodiversity, biomass production and permaculture. Lunch was always my favourite part of the day. Our elaborate meals incorporated a lot of the delicious food grown on the property. We took turns assisting with cooking and learned to make popular Brazilian dishes like bolinhos de chuva and farofa de banana. This place is rustic and rural but so lush and full of life! A very fun adventure. Keep in mind some extra costs with bedding and drives to-and-from the town. Pants, longsleeves, gloves, boots, hat and bug spray are a must!

Our time on the farm was incredible - we got to take part in so many different aspects of farm life (in the plant nursery, out on the fields themselves, in the forest, cooking with food grown on the land), and Nicolas and Zé taught us so much about agroforestry and sustainable food practices. Everyone we met was welcoming and kind, and we could communicate easily despite our limited Portuguese (speaking Spanish helped). The location is incredible and there's a lot of free time to explore/enjoy some yoga/lie in a hammock and read! We would completely recommend it, thank you so much!

My first experience in agroforestry, and wow, how much I learned! The activities are quite varied (and they'll depend on what's happening at the site and the season). Whether you're accompanied by Dani, Aizita or Nicolas, the work in the field has always brought me new insights and good conversations. Outside of work, my mentor was Igor, both for a capoeira initiation and for a demonstration of how to bake bread — a great companion on rainy days. The lodging and internet were perfect for teaching my online classes in my spare time. A huge thank you to the entire Nasciente team 🫶

From my favorite volunteer experiences in Brazil, my time in nascente was wonderful; I arrived when they were preparing the ground to plant coffee (among many other things) and I couldn't resist extending my time to be part of that phase until the end.
Every day I learned a lot about agroforestry life, the logic behind each line, each process, thanks to Aizita and Nicolás for being such good teachers.
I connected a lot with the other volunteers, the whole stay felt very light, the food delicious, first time trying many ingredients or dishes.
I loved it
