  • Description

    Description

    We are located on a property of 40 hectares of Atlantic forest. Here we seek to apply the concepts of Permaculture and agroecology in search of a more sustainable life. We have an agroforestry garden, SAF, chicken coop, food processing area and workshop. We have some ongoing projects in the areas of water management, bioconstruction of houses and shelters, opening of trails, construction of squares and spaces for coexistence. Our goal is to show the surrounding community how it is possible to live with less damage to the environment, and more integrated with nature.

    Nosso objetivo é mostrar para a comunidade ao entorno como é possível viver causando menos danos ao meio ambiente, e mais integrado à natureza.
