- Farm in the mountains at Ubajara, Ceará, northeast Brazil - We are a family living on a farm and we are learning to grow our own food and make a living from it. In addition, we produce and process some foods and drinks, such as dried banana, passionfruit pulp, kombucha, beer, etc. We are also, little by little, restoring the house that is over 100 years old, made using natural construction techniques. We are inspired by Permaculture, Agroecology, Organic and Biodynamic Practices and Alternative Gastronomy. We are Rodrigo and Gabriela and our 3-year-old son, Raul. I have a degree in Computer Engineering, Gabriela in Tourism and Gastronomy. Most of the time we will work together or close.

We work with Biodiverse Agroecological Agroforestry systems following the principles advocated by Ernst Goetsch, planting all types of fruit and vegetables. To expand the forest and plant increasingly more trees, we are looking to welcome volunteers to stay on the farm and share their knowledge with our team who in turn will share their knowledge with you.

Permaculture-Self sustainable Farm Living Caju . We are learning and exchanging ideas about Permaculture and self sustainability. Our farm is situated in a Natural Reserve area called Bananal, located 18 Km away from the beaches of Perube - SP. Here we have begun our project. Using the idea behind observing and working with what is natural and unique to this landscape we are learning to grow local plants and fruit trees, as well as understand the forestation of the area, to best work with the land to support us and our animals. Currently we are growing orchards of multiple fruit trees, such as jack-fruit, papaya, starfruit, goiaba, bananas, coffee, cacao,and limes to name a few, as well as vegetables in our garden. We are using the concept of building green, by using local materials found on the land, such as different varieties of woods, bamboo and clay. We have switched most of our toilets over to the dry toilet system in order to make less of an environmental impact and use t...

We are located in the heart of the Atlantic Forest, on the banks of Rio de Contas river, 15 km from Itacaré – south of Bahia. It is an organic agroforestry cocoa farm and also a Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (PRNH), with an exceptional biodiversity. An ideal place to rest and develop therapeutic, educational, meditative, physical and artistic techniques. “Center of Reconnection with the Self” is a place for spiritual development. Its intention is to be a sustainable place, where we can live in harmony with the natural cycles, producing high quality food, living with simplicity and consciousness and welcoming visitors that also support these ideas. Today a small community, that we call “Family”, is being formed to share a healthy daily practice, with the common goal of cultivating inner and outer harmony. There is a morning Chi Kung practice and we eat wholesome vegan food (sometimes being ovo-lacto-vegetarian). We welcome volunteers who are genuinely interested in sharing our fam...

I am Irene (in Australia at the moment), a retired vet and my husband, Greg a retired IT engineer. Our children are adults. We are building a self-sustaining little homestead, on a 1500m2 block, with ocean and mountain views, 2 cats and 4 dogs, all street rescues. We are in need of some enthusiastic and energetic people to help us. The goal is to be living a sustainable, self-sufficient life in a few years. We prefer people to stay for a month, but if you are hardworking we may consider 2 weeks too. You will be working 25hs / week. We are flexible with that, you can choose when you work. The days you work you get 3 meals a day (minimum 5hs). Snacks and alcohol at your expense. Your room will be available 24/7. The days you don't work, you can either eat somewhere else or pay for your food. (R$ 10 for breakfast or dinner/person and R$ 15 for the lunch hot meal/person). You need to tell Greg the day before. Cooking outside of our regular hs is not an option. In Brazil, the main hot me...

We are a family hostel in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, and we are looking for volunteers to help us in several areas. You can work at reception, take care of technology and digital marketing, maintain furniture and also explore our nearby farm, which is just 15 km from the city. In return, we offer accommodation, breakfast and a welcoming environment. We are also here to provide information that will make your stay in Diamantina the best it can be. It's important that volunteers have a working knowledge of Portuguese, as many people in the region don't speak English, but we love learning about different countries and cultures. Length of stay depends on how we get along, but we ask for a minimum of one month, and longer stays can be discussed. We are currently in need of receptionists for night and day shifts, gardeners, interior designers, wall painters, people for maintenance and small repairs, and drivers with a valid license in Brazil. We hope to hear from you soon!

Our family inn is a hostel & camping at the sea front in a little fishermen village in the south of Bahia. We are also a beach volleyball and beach tennis training center. We live surrounded by a incredible nature, sea, river, and tropical vegetation, coconuts all around. We love trading a guestroom against some help,this mostly give us the opportunity to meet different people who love to travel on a different way. The tasks are mostly helping us in maintenance, garden, camping area, some building or painting, in our place, we always find something to do without any kind of stress. So if you are looking to spend a no stress time faraway from the cities noise and help us sharing our paradise, we will be looking forward to host you.

We are a mixed couple. Thomas is swiss, I`m brazilian. We lived for several years in Europe and after spending the last 1.5 year traveling in Southeast and South Asia, we have decided to get settled in Brazil. We are living at my family`s place. It is amazing here: very green, with a variety of wild life and a great deal of tropical fruits! We sleep early and wake up early too; we spend a lot of time outside in nature. We look for volunteers who can work in teams but also independently. Who can help to cook and are ready to get involved with all the different work/projects that may be going on during the time of your stay. We are in an out-of-the-way, peaceful location and yet only a 10-minute drive (5km) to a local town Pará de Minas and highway. Inhotim, Rei da Mata/Maquiné/Lapinha caves and the city of Belo Horizonte (80km) are all day trips from here (by car). Other atractions for weekend visits are Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Sao Joao del Rei, Serra do Cipo... There are also nice...

I am a volunteer work enthusiast, cycle activist and Critical Mass participant, cyclotourist and Warm Shower host, backpacker, storyteller for children in hospitals and owner of a small outdoor gear company. Recently I left the big city to live in the mountains. We are one of the bases for the expeditions of the NGO Outward Bound Brasil (www.obb.org.br) and we started a bioconstruction, agroforestry project in an area of 13 hectares and a larger space to receive Outward Bond students. The idea is to bio-build a small and inexpensive house with recycled materials from the region, such as pallets, eucalyptus, cob and grass. This will be a way of learning by doing and if we are successful we intend to turn all this knowledge into a do it yourself manual to distribute for free to people in the region who have lost the wisdom of building houses with cob. The accommodation is in a charming house with 4 bedrooms, a small lake, surrounded by grass with some fruit trees and a breathtaking vie...

The project involves transitioning from the large scale corn and soybean monoculture style of farming into food forests or agroflorestas. Planting agroflorestas (Food Forests) is the best way to farm in the tropics. It creates food, fertile soil and water. Here we practice techniques of sintropic agriculture, taught by Ernst Gotsch. Techniques in planting consortiums and managing through prunning. Planting and managing agroflorestas are the main tasks. Other tasks may include working in the plant nursery, harvesting vegetables and fruits, collecting organic matter for mulch, and seed ollecting. Volunteers are welcome for two weeks or longer. Accomodation is shared in a two bedroom house with a comunal kitchen area. Breakfasts and dinners are prepared together, with mostly food from the organic gardens. There is lunch served during the week days. The farm is located near the Rio Formoso, part of the ecological corridor to the Emas National Park. One of the largest ...

We are located in the mid of the Atlantic Rainforest about 120 km away from Rio deJaneiro city.  Our project started 10 years ago and building work is still going on but there is an end in sight, the vegetable garden and orchard are in good shape but need a caring hand all the time.  Our reforestation project is concluded; we planted 2500 native trees of the Atlantic Rainforest on a hill where cattle were grazing in the past. The concept includes MTB-trails in order to facilitate the planting and maintenance of the trees. Along the trails we planted plenty fruit trees. There is still work to do with the cycle trails in order to use them with a bike. There are several buildings where we live on our land. The kitchen is communitarian; we usually take turns for preparing the lunch. We cook vegetarian and try to use as much as possible what we can grow on our land. We have chickens, sheeps, dogs and cats that live with us and we need a hand with them too. SEPTEMBER/NOVEMBER 2023 WE N...

We have a small property between Rio and São Paulo in a very beautiful landscape at 1000 meters altitude. We have many projects in mind, but few arms to do everything. We plant corn, beans, and vegetables in 1 acre, with some chickens and 2 dogs. We also like to do cultural and social events for our guests and for our community. You will help with our organic cultures, feed the chickens, and build structures such as chicken coops, benches, tables, and gardens. We are also learning so much here, so it will be an exchange of ideas and techniques. Our model is "Make mistakes and learn from them is part of life". This year we plan to start selling our production and continue our cultural events and permaculture workshops for visitors. We are also helping the community with their events, teaching languages and crafts to our neighbors.

WHO and WHERE: I am Marcio, Portuguese/Swiss guy 40, living in a beautiful property of 10hectares based on organic principles located next to a remaining piece of native Atlantic rainforest from the state of Pernambuco in Ipojuca. The farm is located at 35km away from the most beautiful beach of Brazil, Porto de Galinhas and 48km from Recife. I’m an autodidact person, hardworking curious by nature, which means that I’m very open-minded. This project started almost 5 years ago inspired by the incredible work of an other swiss guy Ernst Götsch, the lack of access to clean good food and also the need to create a job. I aim at the agro-ecological production of food with high nutritional value, grown in harmony with nature and without chemicals. My goal is also to share knowledge and good values in order to create a positive long-term impact on nature and local communities. WHAT and HOW: The land is old abandoned area still recovering from the sugar cane farming. Next to to the property t...

After volunteering in Australia and Thailand in 2006 (Helpx -- helpx.net/profile/1225626BT, wwoof) where I learned about Permaculture, Organic farming, living in a simpler and more sustainable way, I returned to Brazil and in 2012 I bought a piece of rural land and started my eco project. I received several volunteers in the first 5 years, then for a some years I stopped receiving them in order to improve the structure here. Now at the end of 2022 I am again opening to receive volunteers again, for those who are interested in learning Permaculture, sustainable living, living a simpler way, the doors are open. ecoPalha it is a permaculture home, which in the future could also become an ecovillage. This name came about in honor of the flocks of straw-tailed birds (which are almost always walking around here), and the idea that straw is fundamental in permaculture, whether in bioconstruction, soil cover, composting, to use in mattresses , in the evapotranspiration pit, animal feed and et...

This is a rural development project, aiming to create self-sufficiency for the project and community surrounding the project thru combination of ecological farming, education and cottage industry. We are part of a non profit spiritual and social service organization, Ananda Marga and follow the principles of Neohumanism (which in short is love for all humans, other living beings and animate and inanimate) and PROUT (Progressive Utilization Theory). We practice yoga, meditation, follow a sentient (healthy) lifestyle. Our ecological farming is based on a mixture of permaculture, bio-dynamics and other alternative means to achieve self-sufficiency. Regularly we have some bio-construction going on as well, developing our place to be a spiritually based community, with social service projects for the locals. The project is run by a yogic nun, Didi, who has dedicated her life to self-realization and service to humanity. She teaches yoga and meditation, works as a missionary of Ananda ...

We are an eco farm and permaculture center with a keen interest in permaculture, bioconstruction, agroforestry and sustainable living. We pride ourselves in creating a fun and productive work environment where volunteers can learn, contribute, and become self sufficient in the beautiful mountains of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

I'm a retired french (Breton from Brest) sailor living on my sailing boat (Samson C Baron Ketch 57 feet). I found my paradise in Paraty (200km south of Rio de Janeiro) The boat is basically anchored in Paraty bay, 2mn with motored dinghy from historical center. I always need light help for cleaning or to fix small problems on the boat. I'll offer free hosting to competent helpers for 3 to 4 hours of help per day, and for short stay only. Welcome in Paradise UPDATE : During summer season (December to March) I'm doing charter sailing in the islands with paying guests, so it's impossible for me to plan the time where I can host volunteers. So, contact me only when you are about to arrive in Paraty. UPDATE 2 : Considering the kind of requests I'm receiving, I want to meet volunteers on land before accepting them on board (sorry, but we are in Brazil...) UPDATE 3 : I get up at 5h every morning, so if you use to stay in bed till 10h please stay on land Michel

At the ranch the permanent staff only speaks Portuguese (basic Portuguese or Spanish is required but it is a good place to improve the your language skills). We have a hammock and camping site called Xaraes Natura located about 1,5 km from the ranch where we receive guests. Sporadically we would appreciatte some help at this place as cleaning and guests attendance. I (Olivia) live at the ranch but most of the time staying at the house with my child. If you like children we would also appreciatte to help us with our kid. She is 6 years old and since we are on a rem...

Hello, We are a french family living in the countryside (7 kms away) of Paraty (RJ) We've got a house in the atlantica forest where there is some physical work to do and most of it is construction.

This 13,9-hectare farm is located in a protected area in the Atlantic Forest in Southern Brazil, between the towns of Joinville and Campo Alegre. This was once a dairy farm. Since 2015, I (Alexandre, 34) have been living there and Larissa (27) joined me in 2019. We've been trying to repurpose the farm by initiating the production of organic food, aligned with the principles of agroecology. We are also promoting the reforestation of degraded areas using native species. Volunteers are welcome to stay at the farm in a spacious wooden-house where we currently live. Rooms can also be rented for turists by airbnb. Volunteers can engage in different activities, including (1) the production of honey (beehive maintenance, wax extraction, among other tasks not directly involved with bee handling); (2) the production of shiitake mushrooms (inoculation, incubation and harvesting); (3) the renovation and organization of the farm house; and (4) gardening/horticulture. Besides, they can also help wi...

We are a young family that, in the beginning of 2020, left the city life behind to start a green self-experiment in a countryside in Brazil. As we follow the Permaculture principles, our goal is to learn together, share our experience, produce food and enrich the biodiversity of the land. We are a family of four, but we have two people working here as well. We speak Portuguese, English, Dutch, German and Latvian (Lettish). This volunteer program is a real hands-on experience in agroforestry and organic farming. Also, it is a way to stay away from the hectic world, live in an international community and reconnect with nature. Exchange: We ask for USD$10 per day for a comfortable accommodation and food for the week. As a volunteer within our volunteer program, you will stay in the newly renovated and very comfortable guest house. It has 3 bedrooms - two of them shared ones, each with two single beds and one single room, one bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen with a beautiful dining area...

We seek to be in tune and part of the Light of the Forest by actively working towards the regeneration of our planet, learning and working with it in a beautiful and peaceful rural landscape. Being a recent project, most of the work consists of ecologically building and improving living structures, clearing the land, the lake and the river, as well as planting, pruning, and general maintenance of the agroforestry system we're implementing. Hard work will most often be interspersed by relaxing breaks for waterfall and lake bathing, yoga, conversation, reading and discussing what we are doing, in addition to vegan cuisine. We live the three Guilherme, Henrique and Onda. We have lovely neighbours who visit often; besides them the environment is very peaceful and quiet. We have a house for volunteers, next to it is the kitchen we share. Volunteering consists of 4 hours of work, five days a week.

Come live and experience life on an organic urban farm! Learn the process from preparing the bed to planting the seeds to the final consumption of our produce. Spend time with and take care of the animals we have here, like our grazing chickens, horses, dogs and cat. Contribute to and learn from our various projects in the organic garden, the farmers markets, bioconstruction, agroforestry, and soon, permaculture. Enjoy a simpler life amidst nature and outdoor work. Our farm is located in the city of São Paulo, which makes it so unique. From the moment you enter, it's hard to tell you're in Brazil's largest and most populous city. We want to share the daily peace we live with, and to teach others how to develop it for themselves. If we want to change the world, we need to start with our homes.

We are an independent patchwork family from many countries living together in the Brazilian jungle (Zietto Fabio (34), Papa Leo (39), Mama Saskia (30), Little Luan (2) & always many friends )We love to share with our friends & family to celebrate life & mother earth. Our land is situated close to the national park „Conduru“, Serra Grande, Ilheus, Bahia. The coast (Serra Grande) is a quarter hour car ride away and a surfer’s paradise. The park is rich in sparkling waterfalls and native wildlife. The area is called “Aguas Claras”, and our farm “Boa Vista”. By the name you can already picture the beautiful view into the jungle we have and our richness in water. A river is passing our land that sources a pond (“represa”) for swimming. The whole land is 22 hectares, from which 12 hectares are protected wild area. This invites for jungle walks! The fazenda used to be a pure cacao farm with some fruits trees (coco, mango, avocado, banana… to name but a few). However, since we bought the l...

Hi! My name is Viviane but you can call me Vivi. I am a traveller, crazily enthusiastic about plants (and music, but that's another subject) and after very empowering experiences on the road I decided to return to my hometown to dedicate my life on spreading my gardening passion and knowledge to the community I live in, based on sustainable, both environmental and social, principles. Now I am here to invite you to join me on this mission! I had few helper experiences on the last years and they definitely helped me building this project and the mentality that sharing and cooperating are the keys to life and to vanish injustices. Here we will share everything: practises, joys, food, housing and responsibilities, always aiming equality. Type of work: Volunteers are expected to basically help with gardening for about 15 hours per week. Supporters may work whether on my own home garden, which is quite biodeverse and has interesting categories i.e. medicinal plants and spices, or ...

We are located in Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Cavalcante city, Goi?s - Brazil. We have a small house with growing organic agroforestry around it. Its isolated and simple, so we see our farm as a place for those who enjoy tranquility and root life. The house has limited sattelite internet and solar electricity. We have a routine of work, managing the agroforestry, taking care of the garden, weeding, planting, preparing seedlings, and bioconstructing. To rest we practice meditation, yoga, acrobatic silk, play the guitar, and go to the amazing river just 50 meters from the house. We have a vegan diet, and usually cook together things we produce or buy at the local market. As we are located in an extremely explored part of Cerrado, our main focus is to recover an exausted land that needs love and a lot of hard work.

Permaculture-Self sustainable Farm Living Caju . We are learning and exchanging ideas about Permaculture and self sustainability. Our farm is situated in a Natural Reserve area called Bananal, located 18 Km away from the beaches of Perube - SP. Here we have begun our project. Using the idea behind observing and working with what is natural and unique to this landscape we are learning to grow local plants and fruit trees, as well as understand the forestation of the area, to best work with the land to support us and our animals. Currently we are growing orchards of multiple fruit trees, such as jack-fruit, papaya, starfruit, goiaba, bananas, coffee, cacao,and limes to name a few, as well as vegetables in our garden. We are using the concept of building green, by using local materials found on the land, such as different varieties of woods, bamboo and clay. We have switched most of our toilets over to the dry toilet system in order to make less of an environmental impact and use t...

We are located in the heart of the Atlantic Forest, on the banks of Rio de Contas river, 15 km from Itacaré – south of Bahia. It is an organic agroforestry cocoa farm and also a Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (PRNH), with an exceptional biodiversity. An ideal place to rest and develop therapeutic, educational, meditative, physical and artistic techniques. “Center of Reconnection with the Self” is a place for spiritual development. Its intention is to be a sustainable place, where we can live in harmony with the natural cycles, producing high quality food, living with simplicity and consciousness and welcoming visitors that also support these ideas. Today a small community, that we call “Family”, is being formed to share a healthy daily practice, with the common goal of cultivating inner and outer harmony. There is a morning Chi Kung practice and we eat wholesome vegan food (sometimes being ovo-lacto-vegetarian). We welcome volunteers who are genuinely interested in sharing our fam...

We are building a self-sustaining little homestead, on a 1500m2 block, with ocean and mountain views, 2 cats and 4 dogs, all street rescues. We are in need of some enthusiastic and energetic people to help us. The goal is to be living a sustainable, self-sufficient life in a few years. We prefer people to stay for a month, but if you are hardworking we may consider 2 weeks too. You will be working 25hs / week. We are flexible with that, you can choose when you work. The days you work you get 3 meals a day (minimum 5hs). Snacks and alcohol at your expense. Your room will be available 24/7. The days you don't work, you can either eat somewhere else or pay for your food. (R$ 10 for breakfast or dinner/person and R$ 15 for the lunch hot meal/person). You need to tell Greg the day before. Cooking outside of our regular hs is not an option. In Brazil, the main hot me...

We are a family hostel in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, and we are looking for volunteers to help us in several areas. You can work at reception, take care of technology and digital marketing, maintain furniture and also explore our nearby farm, which is just 15 km from the city. In return, we offer accommodation, breakfast and a welcoming environment. We are also here to provide information that will make your stay in Diamantina the best it can be. It's important that volunteers have a working knowledge of Portuguese, as many people in the region don't speak English, but we love learning about different countries and cultures. Length of stay depends on how we get along, but we ask for a minimum of one month, and longer stays can be discussed. We are currently in need of receptionists for night and day shifts, gardeners, interior designers, wall painters, people for maintenance and small repairs, and drivers with a valid license in Brazil. We hope to hear from you soon!

Our family inn is a hostel & camping at the sea front in a little fishermen village in the south of Bahia. We are also a beach volleyball and beach tennis training center. We live surrounded by a incredible nature, sea, river, and tropical vegetation, coconuts all around. We love trading a guestroom against some help,this mostly give us the opportunity to meet different people who love to travel on a different way. The tasks are mostly helping us in maintenance, garden, camping area, some building or painting, in our place, we always find something to do without any kind of stress. So if you are looking to spend a no stress time faraway from the cities noise and help us sharing our paradise, we will be looking forward to host you.

We are a mixed couple. Thomas is swiss, I`m brazilian. We lived for several years in Europe and after spending the last 1.5 year traveling in Southeast and South Asia, we have decided to get settled in Brazil. We are living at my family`s place. It is amazing here: very green, with a variety of wild life and a great deal of tropical fruits! We sleep early and wake up early too; we spend a lot of time outside in nature. We look for volunteers who can work in teams but also independently. Who can help to cook and are ready to get involved with all the different work/projects that may be going on during the time of your stay. We are in an out-of-the-way, peaceful location and yet only a 10-minute drive (5km) to a local town Pará de Minas and highway. Inhotim, Rei da Mata/Maquiné/Lapinha caves and the city of Belo Horizonte (80km) are all day trips from here (by car). Other atractions for weekend visits are Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Sao Joao del Rei, Serra do Cipo... There are also nice...

I am a volunteer work enthusiast, cycle activist and Critical Mass participant, cyclotourist and Warm Shower host, backpacker, storyteller for children in hospitals and owner of a small outdoor gear company. Recently I left the big city to live in the mountains. We are one of the bases for the expeditions of the NGO Outward Bound Brasil (www.obb.org.br) and we started a bioconstruction, agroforestry project in an area of 13 hectares and a larger space to receive Outward Bond students. The idea is to bio-build a small and inexpensive house with recycled materials from the region, such as pallets, eucalyptus, cob and grass. This will be a way of learning by doing and if we are successful we intend to turn all this knowledge into a do it yourself manual to distribute for free to people in the region who have lost the wisdom of building houses with cob. The accommodation is in a charming house with 4 bedrooms, a small lake, surrounded by grass with some fruit trees and a breathtaking vie...

The project involves transitioning from the large scale corn and soybean monoculture style of farming into food forests or agroflorestas. Planting agroflorestas (Food Forests) is the best way to farm in the tropics. It creates food, fertile soil and water. Here we practice techniques of sintropic agriculture, taught by Ernst Gotsch. Techniques in planting consortiums and managing through prunning. Planting and managing agroflorestas are the main tasks. Other tasks may include working in the plant nursery, harvesting vegetables and fruits, collecting organic matter for mulch, and seed ollecting. Volunteers are welcome for two weeks or longer. Accomodation is shared in a two bedroom house with a comunal kitchen area. Breakfasts and dinners are prepared together, with mostly food from the organic gardens. There is lunch served during the week days. The farm is located near the Rio Formoso, part of the ecological corridor to the Emas National Park. One of the largest ...

We are located in the mid of the Atlantic Rainforest about 120 km away from Rio deJaneiro city.  Our project started 10 years ago and building work is still going on but there is an end in sight, the vegetable garden and orchard are in good shape but need a caring hand all the time.  Our reforestation project is concluded; we planted 2500 native trees of the Atlantic Rainforest on a hill where cattle were grazing in the past. The concept includes MTB-trails in order to facilitate the planting and maintenance of the trees. Along the trails we planted plenty fruit trees. There is still work to do with the cycle trails in order to use them with a bike. There are several buildings where we live on our land. The kitchen is communitarian; we usually take turns for preparing the lunch. We cook vegetarian and try to use as much as possible what we can grow on our land. We have chickens, sheeps, dogs and cats that live with us and we need a hand with them too. SEPTEMBER/NOVEMBER 2023 WE N...

We have a small property between Rio and São Paulo in a very beautiful landscape at 1000 meters altitude. We have many projects in mind, but few arms to do everything. We plant corn, beans, and vegetables in 1 acre, with some chickens and 2 dogs. We also like to do cultural and social events for our guests and for our community. You will help with our organic cultures, feed the chickens, and build structures such as chicken coops, benches, tables, and gardens. We are also learning so much here, so it will be an exchange of ideas and techniques. Our model is "Make mistakes and learn from them is part of life". This year we plan to start selling our production and continue our cultural events and permaculture workshops for visitors. We are also helping the community with their events, teaching languages and crafts to our neighbors.

WHO and WHERE: I am Marcio, Portuguese/Swiss guy 40, living in a beautiful property of 10hectares based on organic principles located next to a remaining piece of native Atlantic rainforest from the state of Pernambuco in Ipojuca. The farm is located at 35km away from the most beautiful beach of Brazil, Porto de Galinhas and 48km from Recife. I’m an autodidact person, hardworking curious by nature, which means that I’m very open-minded. This project started almost 5 years ago inspired by the incredible work of an other swiss guy Ernst Götsch, the lack of access to clean good food and also the need to create a job. I aim at the agro-ecological production of food with high nutritional value, grown in harmony with nature and without chemicals. My goal is also to share knowledge and good values in order to create a positive long-term impact on nature and local communities. WHAT and HOW: The land is old abandoned area still recovering from the sugar cane farming. Next to to the property t...

After volunteering in Australia and Thailand in 2006 (Helpx -- helpx.net/profile/1225626BT, wwoof) where I learned about Permaculture, Organic farming, living in a simpler and more sustainable way, I returned to Brazil and in 2012 I bought a piece of rural land and started my eco project. I received several volunteers in the first 5 years, then for a some years I stopped receiving them in order to improve the structure here. Now at the end of 2022 I am again opening to receive volunteers again, for those who are interested in learning Permaculture, sustainable living, living a simpler way, the doors are open. ecoPalha it is a permaculture home, which in the future could also become an ecovillage. This name came about in honor of the flocks of straw-tailed birds (which are almost always walking around here), and the idea that straw is fundamental in permaculture, whether in bioconstruction, soil cover, composting, to use in mattresses , in the evapotranspiration pit, animal feed and et...

This is a rural development project, aiming to create self-sufficiency for the project and community surrounding the project thru combination of ecological farming, education and cottage industry. We are part of a non profit spiritual and social service organization, Ananda Marga and follow the principles of Neohumanism (which in short is love for all humans, other living beings and animate and inanimate) and PROUT (Progressive Utilization Theory). We practice yoga, meditation, follow a sentient (healthy) lifestyle. Our ecological farming is based on a mixture of permaculture, bio-dynamics and other alternative means to achieve self-sufficiency. Regularly we have some bio-construction going on as well, developing our place to be a spiritually based community, with social service projects for the locals. The project is run by a yogic nun, Didi, who has dedicated her life to self-realization and service to humanity. She teaches yoga and meditation, works as a missionary of Ananda ...

I'm a retired french (Breton from Brest) sailor living on my sailing boat (Samson C Baron Ketch 57 feet). I found my paradise in Paraty (200km south of Rio de Janeiro) The boat is basically anchored in Paraty bay, 2mn with motored dinghy from historical center. I always need light help for cleaning or to fix small problems on the boat. I'll offer free hosting to competent helpers for 3 to 4 hours of help per day, and for short stay only. Welcome in Paradise UPDATE : During summer season (December to March) I'm doing charter sailing in the islands with paying guests, so it's impossible for me to plan the time where I can host volunteers. So, contact me only when you are about to arrive in Paraty. UPDATE 2 : Considering the kind of requests I'm receiving, I want to meet volunteers on land before accepting them on board (sorry, but we are in Brazil...) UPDATE 3 : I get up at 5h every morning, so if you use to stay in bed till 10h please stay on land Michel

Hello, We are a french family living in the countryside (7 kms away) of Paraty (RJ) We've got a house in the atlantica forest where there is some physical work to do and most of it is construction. As we are closer to our goal to become an hostel & camping, we are looking for people motivated with construction skills or experiences and who are not afraid of dirty hands. People with countryside experiences usually appreciate more the beauty of the land. It's a peaceful and very natural place. We can provide accomodation in dormitory or in a camping tent for 2 or 3 people. You won't need anything, everything is provide. You can do your own cooking, use our washing machine and have a hot shower. You will enjoy for sure our natural pool at the back, in the middle of the rain forest. We propose to work only 2 hours per day for an accomadation only. Helpers have to provide their foods and drinks. That way every body can eat what they feel like,and you manage to enjoy some ...

This 13,9-hectare farm is located in a protected area in the Atlantic Forest in Southern Brazil, between the towns of Joinville and Campo Alegre. This was once a dairy farm. Since 2015, I (Alexandre, 34) have been living there and Larissa (27) joined me in 2019. We've been trying to repurpose the farm by initiating the production of organic food, aligned with the principles of agroecology. We are also promoting the reforestation of degraded areas using native species. Volunteers are welcome to stay at the farm in a spacious wooden-house where we currently live. Rooms can also be rented for turists by airbnb. Volunteers can engage in different activities, including (1) the production of honey (beehive maintenance, wax extraction, among other tasks not directly involved with bee handling); (2) the production of shiitake mushrooms (inoculation, incubation and harvesting); (3) the renovation and organization of the farm house; and (4) gardening/horticulture. Besides, they can also help wi...

We are a young family that, in the beginning of 2020, left the city life behind to start a green self-experiment in a countryside in Brazil. As we follow the Permaculture principles, our goal is to learn together, share our experience, produce food and enrich the biodiversity of the land. We are a family of four, but we have two people working here as well. We speak Portuguese, English, Dutch, German and Latvian (Lettish). This volunteer program is a real hands-on experience in agroforestry and organic farming. Also, it is a way to stay away from the hectic world, live in an international community and reconnect with nature. Exchange: We ask for USD$10 per day for a comfortable accommodation and food for the week. As a volunteer within our volunteer program, you will stay in the newly renovated and very comfortable guest house. It has 3 bedrooms - two of them shared ones, each with two single beds and one single room, one bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen with a beautiful dining area...

We seek to be in tune and part of the Light of the Forest by actively working towards the regeneration of our planet, learning and working with it in a beautiful and peaceful rural landscape. Being a recent project, most of the work consists of ecologically building and improving living structures, clearing the land, the lake and the river, as well as planting, pruning, and general maintenance of the agroforestry system we're implementing. Hard work will most often be interspersed by relaxing breaks for waterfall and lake bathing, yoga, conversation, reading and discussing what we are doing, in addition to vegan cuisine. We live the three Guilherme, Henrique and Onda. We have lovely neighbours who visit often; besides them the environment is very peaceful and quiet. We have a house for volunteers, next to it is the kitchen we share. Volunteering consists of 4 hours of work, five days a week.

Come live and experience life on an organic urban farm! Learn the process from preparing the bed to planting the seeds to the final consumption of our produce. Spend time with and take care of the animals we have here, like our grazing chickens, horses, dogs and cat. Contribute to and learn from our various projects in the organic garden, the farmers markets, bioconstruction, agroforestry, and soon, permaculture. Enjoy a simpler life amidst nature and outdoor work. Our farm is located in the city of São Paulo, which makes it so unique. From the moment you enter, it's hard to tell you're in Brazil's largest and most populous city. We want to share the daily peace we live with, and to teach others how to develop it for themselves. If we want to change the world, we need to start with our homes.

We are an independent patchwork family from many countries living together in the Brazilian jungle (Zietto Fabio (34), Papa Leo (39), Mama Saskia (30), Little Luan (2) & always many friends )We love to share with our friends & family to celebrate life & mother earth. Our land is situated close to the national park „Conduru“, Serra Grande, Ilheus, Bahia. The coast (Serra Grande) is a quarter hour car ride away and a surfer’s paradise. The park is rich in sparkling waterfalls and native wildlife. The area is called “Aguas Claras”, and our farm “Boa Vista”. By the name you can already picture the beautiful view into the jungle we have and our richness in water. A river is passing our land that sources a pond (“represa”) for swimming. The whole land is 22 hectares, from which 12 hectares are protected wild area. This invites for jungle walks! The fazenda used to be a pure cacao farm with some fruits trees (coco, mango, avocado, banana… to name but a few). However, since we bought the l...

This is a sacred cooperative community that offers an alternative model of living to the obsolete conflictual ways of the world, demonstrating the eternal themes underlying the majority of spiritual traditions: selfless service, persisting as love & forgiveness. There are many doors through which to join our Gathering. One of them is the one you are accessing now: The Volunteer Program. Hundreds of people from all over the world have been transformed volunteering with us, taking their learning with them into the world as more conscious, mature beings.

Hi! My name is Viviane but you can call me Vivi. I am a traveller, crazily enthusiastic about plants (and music, but that's another subject) and after very empowering experiences on the road I decided to return to my hometown to dedicate my life on spreading my gardening passion and knowledge to the community I live in, based on sustainable, both environmental and social, principles. Now I am here to invite you to join me on this mission! I had few helper experiences on the last years and they definitely helped me building this project and the mentality that sharing and cooperating are the keys to life and to vanish injustices. Here we will share everything: practises, joys, food, housing and responsibilities, always aiming equality. Type of work: Volunteers are expected to basically help with gardening for about 15 hours per week. Supporters may work whether on my own home garden, which is quite biodeverse and has interesting categories i.e. medicinal plants and spices, or ...

We are located in Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Cavalcante city, Goi?s - Brazil. We have a small house with growing organic agroforestry around it. Its isolated and simple, so we see our farm as a place for those who enjoy tranquility and root life. The house has limited sattelite internet and solar electricity. We have a routine of work, managing the agroforestry, taking care of the garden, weeding, planting, preparing seedlings, and bioconstructing. To rest we practice meditation, yoga, acrobatic silk, play the guitar, and go to the amazing river just 50 meters from the house. We have a vegan diet, and usually cook together things we produce or buy at the local market. As we are located in an extremely explored part of Cerrado, our main focus is to recover an exausted land that needs love and a lot of hard work.
