1. Décrivez votre projet, votre lieu, et ses habitants (y compris les animaux) : Surrounded by lush forests Fazends Monto Alegre is a farm planted with cocoa and açaí in an agroforestry system. It belongs to European associates who live happily in a rural and calm setting near the sea. the Belgian associates of the farm practice agroecology and are defenders of the cabruca cropping system (plantations under the cover of the thinned forest). We are members of an association of small producers and a cocoa cooperative. 2. Listez les activités auxquelles les WWOOFeurs participeront et ce que vous désirez leur apprendre : plantation maintenance (mowing, pruning) and harvesting. Diversified work and most often in the shade... Development of biofertilizers and use of forest humus . We also make artisanal chocolate. 3. A quoi pourrait ressembler la journée d'un WWOOFeur chez vous (plage d'aide aux activités, vos attentes...) ? we like to diversify the activities, one hour of mowing, one hour of pruning, one hour of humus harvesting, etc. We usually share meals and like to cook together, and happy to discover your own culinary specialities. 4. Jouez le guide ! Parlez de vos propres loisirs (musique, cuisine, etc.) et ceux possibles aux alentours (randonnée, baignade, etc.) : The fazenda is 12 km of dirt roads from Camamu where there is public transport where you can take boats to Barra Grande, a well-known seaside resort.

L’expérience est incroyable dans cette ferme, nous sommes très bien accueilli par Leo et Christophe. Le travail est très intéressant et enrichissant. Ainsi que des personnes fantastiques au sein de la communauté.

Perfeito ! Nossa estadia na fazenda foi incrivel, gostamos muito da rotina que seguimos e da compania de christophe e de seus gatos ! Christophe nos ensino muitas coisas sobre agroecologia, nos presento com a comunidade perto da fazenda e a outros projeitos ligados a esso. Mais que um woofing você vai viver uma experiencia super linda, colheitar cacau, cuidar do cabruca e das plantaçaos, sem ficar nunca entediado nem cansado ! Christophe mas que so um simple woofer ele tem siempre muito para transmitir e é super engrassado ! Muito obrigada Christophe, ja voltamos kkk Na fazenda você vai comer e dormir muito a vontade tambem eles tem botas por os mochileros sem zapatos :)

Fiquei uma semana e meia na fazenda e curti bastante a experiência. O trabalho foi tranquilo e deu pra aprender muita coisa sobre agricultura! Christophe tem um grande conhecimento de métodos e história da agricultura, então quem tem interesse vai aproveitar. O lugar é muito bonito, afastado, tem dois gatos e também a chance de conhecer gente da comunidade local pelas conexões do Christophe. Foi um tempo bem calmo e revigorante— recomendo pra quem quer aprender e viver numa ambiente charmoso

Nous avons adoré notre semaine à la fazenda ! Chaque journée était enrichissante. Nous avons beaucoup appris sur la permaculture et les petits producteurs brésiliens. Les journées sont variées entre plantation, récolte, élagage et cuisine avec les produits du jardin (manioc, taioba, pupunha, miel de cacao…) Merci à Christophe qui est un hôte accueillant, bienveillant, cultivé, pédagogue et de plus sa mayonnaise était délicieuse 🇧🇪 Une expérience unique.

Superbe expérience ! Christophe est un super hôte. Il nous a appris tellement de chose sur l’agriculture bahianaise, la forêt et les plantes, dans une perspective de développement durable très intéressante. C’était un privilège de découvrir cette agriculture agroforestiere dans un cadre magnifique! Le contact avec la communauté locale est aussi un bonus pour ce woofing qui rends l’expérience vraiment immersive. Encore merci ! Laura et Rosa

I spent almost 4 weeks at Fazenda Monte Alegre and i enjoyed all the moments i got to experience on the property. The farm sits in the middle of atlantic forest and once you’re there you’re there. If you’re looking for a great opportunity to learn about agriculture of this region and useful agroflorestry techniques it’s a perfect place to be. The lifestyle is simple but filling. The beaches aren’t farm from the property but they do take a lil trekking to get to. Thanks to Christophe because he was very helpful and knowledgeable and taught me so much while on the property. He’s a walking encyclopedia and a very interesting individual.
