OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
VERAVA
To contribute to the growth of our region, most of the inputs used on our farm are purchased in the neighborhood. We also seek to understand the reality of each resident and their family and offer educational, environmental and healthy living knowledge.
ALL THE KINDNESS THAT THE ENVIRONMENT DESERVES
And this involves people on the team, their families and the community that lives in Verava. People who have been stimulated by environmental education projects, personal and professional development on the farm, where each attitude beneficially affects the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
We operate beyond the farm’s borders, we interact with the community. We are her partners and always learn from rural life. We want guests to experience this too, to interact with the region's residents and, thus, the distance between the city and the countryside becomes increasingly smaller.
CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY’S WAY OF LIVING.
We are part of World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOFF) and worldpackers, global movements to promote cultural and educational exchange. Through them you can participate in the day-to-day life of our farm, get to know the residents of our region and their way of living, and finally try something new and sustainable.
Find out more about the programs in the links below and come learn and share with us about the land and its cultivation.

Werner Haberkorn left Germany due to the Second World War, chose Brazil as his new homeland and established himself here as an important photographer portraying São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the 40s. He is the father of Ernesto, one of the pioneers of information technology in Brazil, a reference not only in how to undertake, but in healthy living philosophy. With love, Ernesto invested in a venture that could accommodate the attributes and knowledge of his 3 children, uniting a psychologist, a journalist and a geographer. This is how Morros Verdes Farm was born: with 4 knowledge that multiply. Restless, they brought to life a complete project: for them, for the Atlantic Forest, for the Verava community, for you and for future generations.
