These fees will help us to provide you organic healthy whole food plant based ingredients for your meal. We expect volunteers to prepare their own meal that will be done in a collaborative kitchen. I am a celiac and because of it, the kitchen  is gluten free. We will eat local  meals,i.e., with ingredients extracted from the land or nearby organic producers. We will buy plenty of nut, and rich ingredients. I am growing mushrooms that will be available in our meals. 

Also these fees will pay our costs hosting a volunteer (wifi, energy, gas, working tools) and it will allow us to buy more  trees  and plant in our land for you to carbon neutralize your travel to Brazil.  

A percentual of your contribution will be for us to improve our accommodations to receive volunteers and support our work in environmental preservation.  

We also provide environment for your home office, so that you can continue your work with very little living expenses and generate money for your future travels. 

These fees include  trips on Friday noon to weekends in Rio de Janeiro city, returning Monday early morning to fazenda São Marcos. Every Friday I do delivery of organic produce in Rio de Janeiro city and stay with my wife and son and return to Fazenda São Marcos on Sunday evening or Monday morning,

We do not pick you up on airport, but on Sundays evening or Mondays mornings I can pick you up at a hostel in Rio de Janeiro or airport on the way to Fazenda São Marcos. 

If you arrive any day other than Sunday or Monday, you can take a uber/taxi to Rio's road station and take a bus to Cachoeiras De Macacu and I pick you up there, or you can get to visit Rio de Janeiro and travel with me in the next return trip to Fazenda São Marcos.

On  Sunday evening or latest Monday morning I travel from Rio de Janeiro to Fazenda São Marcos (2h30 travel). In case you arrive on Sunday aflternoon or Monday morning I can pick you up in the airport. In case you arrive in a different day, I'll already be away at the farm and you can either  get to know Rio de Janeiro and meet me on Sunday (I pick you up at your hostel) to travel to the farm. Or you go to a road station travel to Cachoeiras de Macacu town and I pick you up there. 

Bedrooms suite (w/ bathroom), with warm blankets and window. Simple but all you need is there.  In the case of a large group, we provide a large dorm room. 

It will be a great opportunity for you to enjoy a healthy whole food plant based diet. We eat this way, so that we preserve our health, protect the environment and fight climate change. In special red meat is associated with deforestation, chicken meat is associated with factory farming where dangerous avian flu are being bred and our oceans are being depleted of life due to overfishing. 

We provide food for all meals and snacks. We invite volunteers to prepare whole food  plant based meals with us and you will learn how easy it is to cook a healthy and delicious diet at home.
