Pra quem busca tranquilidade o lugar é ideal, o trabalho é condizente com o combinado e pertinho do Inhotim. A anfitriã é compreensiva e cumpre com o que foi estabelecido. Recomendo a experiência.

Maravilhosa experiência no sitio o sítio! Principalmente aprendi a trabalhar na horta ecologica, o lugar é super tranquilo, ideal para conectar com a natureza. Dona Sonia é super gente boa, bem humorada, cheia de historias para contar e super ativa, admiro a forma como ela encara a vida. Além de aprender sobre a vida na roça, levei comigo diversos outros conhecimentos sobre a vida em geral. Muito obrigada por ter me recebido na sua casa Dona Sonia :)

Dona Sônia é o retrato de quem realmente vive a vida de forma consciente e intensa, muito pró-ativa e determinada. tive uma boa experiência, é uma ótima vivência em sua propriedade, vale a pena ir para ser voluntário(a) e sentir o que é estar no interior de Minas. Espero retornar em uma próxima oportunidade!.

O the farm é um lugar ótimo para quem quer viver o voluntariado como uma imersão longe da cidade. Poder acordar de manhã com as famosas brumas de Brumadinho com um café quentinho não tem preço. Aprendemos sobre horta, cuidados com o campo e com o sítio. Dona Sônia foi muito atenciosa e prestativa, uma anfitriã incrível. Apesar de nossa experiência precisar ser encurtada, recomendamos muito essa experiência para outros voluntários! 🌱🏕️💚
