In our farm, three hours driving from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, we have a project of organic tomatoes in a greenhouse and also Vetiver plants. Vetiver (http://www.vetiver.com.br) is an amazing plant from India that can be applied in many different things such as slope stabilization against mudslide, water purification, essence oil and parfums production, handcraft, etc . Both projects, Organic Tomatoes and Vetiver are social and scientific here. That means, we try to improve them, get knowledge and help other people. Whenever we get positive results we try to spread them to the communities around that practice traditional agriculture and suffer a lot with this. To help on those projects we accept friendly people from all over the world that can come and stay in the farm for free. We provide simple and basic food and lodge. People can also have their own vegetable garden. In exchange these young people help working in the farm projects. The nature here is amazing. We have a lot of land, forests, mineral water sources, a big lake, ducks, chickens, cows, gooses and many birds around. Local people living here are great. They are very wise and will teach you many things about life, portuguese language and Nature. Take a look in these videos and enjoy people talking about their experience here, nature and landscape. Get inspired and come to visit us!! Kind of stories you will hear from the local people here. Write to us!! lucio@vetiver.com.br Write to us!! You are welcome!!
