Resumo: (ecology)
The organization is based in an organic farm in its transition to an Agroforestry now containing different fruit trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and vegetable gardens.
Our association regularly organizes training courses for young people and adults on permaculture and regenerative agriculture, with practical and theoretical parts. We organize regular events (formal and informal meetings, workshops, etc.) aimed at the local community and young people interested in agriculture. One of the consolidated and permanent projects that the organization has been carrying out for the last five years is the edible forest project, in which monthly social meetings are held for all the public, in which alternative models of food production are shown like examples of bioconstruction of small spaces that respect their environment, recovery and restoration of the ethnological heritage of the estate.

Condições: The house on the farm provides us with a kitchen to cook our daily meals, which are healthy, mostly organic and self grown and vegetarian. If you have any allergies or intolerances, special dietary needs, please inform us about it, so we can plan accordingly. It is our home and sacred space. It is important for us to know that you agree in spending so many days in such a simple basic way of life. The lodging choice will be always decided by us and it is not possible for you to choose your own accommodation.
In here the diet is vegetarian (close to vegan, sometimes we have cheese, soon we should have our eggs), mostly organic, as local as possible and with minimum packaging. We believe in critical consumption and we don't want to forage industrial food as far as we can.

We understand that all of us have attachment to some confort food, but we try to minimize it. So we ask to not bring industrial food from outside like plastic bottled drinks, cans or chips. We are not super strict but it's important to share a direction and work together in the same one. So space for external food will be minimized to one
tray in the fridge and as little as possible for what doesn't go in the fridge. The organization will buy the food (part of it is produced in our own farm) following the principles of critical consumption whenever possible, and the 3 meals will be prepared by the volunteers and by the members of the staff, organizing shifts, in our kitchen.

Please use your plant based fully biodegradable toiletry (shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, etc.) so the water of the shower and the sink doesn’t harm nature.
