Learn and Practice Natural Building and Agroforestry on an Eco Farm in Brazil

Volunteer in Agroforestry and Natural Building

Nestled high in the mountains of Brazil's verdant Atlantic Forest, Eco Caminhos is a farm dedicated to creating a sustainable future through innovative agroforestry and natural building (bioconstruction) practices. We are looking for passionate volunteers to join us for 1 to 12 weeks to help us grow and build a better world.

What You'll Do

As a volunteer, you can choose to focus on one or both of our main projects:

• Agroforestry: Help us cultivate abundant, organic produce while regenerating the land. Our current focus is on integrating shade-grown coffee into our diverse agroforestry systems. You will get hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture and land management.
• Natural Building (Bioconstruction): Participate in the construction of beautiful, eco-friendly homes that work in harmony with nature. We utilize natural and local materials to create energy-efficient buildings with integrated waste management systems. Our current major project is building a new home for a permaculture school on our farm.

Experience More Than Just Work

Your time at Eco Caminhos is also an opportunity for adventure and personal growth. You will have the chance to:

• Explore the breathtaking Atlantic Forest with activities like hiking and swimming in stunning waterfalls.
• Immerse yourself in Brazilian culture and learn Portuguese.
• Develop new culinary skills by cooking with fresh, organic ingredients from our farm.
• Connect with like-minded people and build lasting friendships with fellow volunteers from around the globe.
