Fazenda Taboquinhas: farm stays for recreation and volunteering.
Recreational stay.
Fazenda Taboquinhas and Fazenda São Jorge are unity for farm life hospitality in Taboquinhas. We opt for diversified farming. Income contributions by guests or costs reductions by volunteers are highly valued.
The integral use of accommodation is possible. Book your stay on one farm and stay for some time on another farm. You will experience your stay in cordial family-style, in a region with an always evergreen and thriving nature where sunshine warms your bones, colors your skin and with the beautiful beaches of Itacaré nearby.
Volunteer stay.
Work never stops on farms, so volunteers are welcome. Various tasks are seasonal and doable by many. Other tasks are specialistic and in need of knowledge at a high level. View our volunteer section via the site main menu or follow this Link >> Any help can make a big difference in our eco-farm conditions.

It just brought good memories!
Good afternoon, Jaco.
We loved the experience of spending time at the São Jorge farm. Luzi and Mendes are amazing people! I felt very well treated. Luzi is very kind and caring. Osvaldo also helped us a lot. The world needs more people like them! I made a vegetarian menu and wrote the recipes in Luci’s notebook. I’ll send it to you later this week. My pictures are meanwhile sent to you through Wetransfer.… Read more “It just brought good memories!”
Unforgettable stay at the Cacao Farm.
As Education Director and Organizer for the Northwest Chocolate Festival in the USA, I continuously research ethical supply chains, having cultural explorations, study flavor and processes with chocolate makers all over the world.

We were hosted as if family.
Thank you Osvaldo and Laura for your warm welcome. The days we spent there were few, but enough to make us feel like family. We are happy to have found you on Airbnb. We will definitely be back soon! An affectionate kiss like a delicate fragrance to you both.
A little tropical paradise of peace
“At Laura and Osvaldo we found a little paradise! The place is quiet but very close to the village, so very easy to access and perfect for walking in nature. The hospitality was superb, exciting, beautiful! The room is large, very clean, the bed very comfortable, and the view of the river and the village in front superb. Laura’s cooking is very good and varied. If you love nature, swimming in the river and listening… Read more “A little tropical paradise of peace”
Awesome farm experience near Itacaré.
My week on the farm in Taboquinhas gave me surprise after surprise. I had no idea of the huge variation in tropical fruits, how cacao fruits look like for example. The many tropical fruits I bought in the supermarket were packed in tins. On the farm, I learned how to pluck them from the trees and to enjoy their real taste, while the birds sang their songs around me. Awesome indeed. I doubt what I… Read more “Awesome farm experience near Itacaré.”

There is a bus service from Itacaré or Ubaitaba to Taboquinhas. The road between Itacaré and Taboquinhas is asphalted while the connexion between Ubaitaba rides on a bumpy dirt road. Don't expect sophisticated busses for this reason. Campo Verde operates a service on the highest frequency (4 to 5 times per day). Cidade Sol is another possibility.
