Inspired by the ecological processes of nature, we regenerate the Atlantic Forest by reconciling organic production, environmental preservation, and exchange of knowledge 🌍💚. Here, volunteers can get involved in several areas: planting, management and harvesting in agroforestry systems; processing of products from the land; support in cleaning and maintaining spaces, assisting with welcoming groups for educational events, and even participation in renovations and bioconstructions.

This experience was amazing, i had a lot of fun and i really felt like a part of the family. I learned a lot about coffee and all the process of making but also a lot about agroforestry in general. We baked a lot, prepared the market, visited other farms… I was the only volunteer for two weeks but I felt at home and not lonely at all. Nina and her family are all adorable. I would love to come back !! Great memories, really.

Such a grounding experience. Everyone was so warm and made us feel so included from the second we arrived. Every person in the family impacted me in a different way, and by the end it really felt like we were leaving family. My boyfriend and I both felt so appreciated and cared for the entire time. We’ll have to come back. Saudades Fazenda Monte Cristo!! Até a próxima! 🌴💛 — Annaliz & Elie

First of all is the environment located in a very beautiful and underrated area. We are very thankful to have experienced this through their farm. Second of all are Nina and Guilherme super including and always willing to help! Also the working part was great with flexible hours and a great variety of the sort of work we had to do. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you go in the winter , to bring warm clothes with you since the house is not heated. In general we would very much recommend this volunteer experience to others! :)

Fazenda of Monte Cristo was truly paradise on earth! The photos can even depict the true beauty of this place. I enjoyed the two weeks that I spent collecting coffee and learning about the production process. My tasks also included cleaning, painting and photography. The host Nina was very flexible with hours and providing tasks that I was interested in. One advice is to bring a lot of mosquito repellent and sunscreen since a lot of time is spent outdoors. The family were very welcoming and made sure I was comfortable and also helped me improve my Portuguese. I definitely recommend :)

I really loved to stay in this beatiful place. The host is very very friendly and creates an athmosphere similar to a family. It's a great opportunity for someone that wants to enjoy natural landscapes, farm life and local culture. I would also underline that the host is actively putting effort to make the volunteers enjoy the stay and make a great experience, respecting the times and the agreements while sustaining both-sides valuable communication. Recommendissimo!
