| In search for a place, we were paying a visit
to the first farm, and thus, organized a picnic with our children.
We arrived at Fazenda Cachoeiras, in Boa Vista, Barra Alegre, and it
was love at first sight.
I felt emotional upon our arrival and then again when I later walked
its trails, and began to discover that all the qualities I’d dreamt
of were present: Important remnants of the Rain Forest environment, lots
of water, reasonable accessibility, and distant from the urban influence.
We bought the farm in 1990, and began to restore the century-old main
house.
When the house was completed, we invited neighbors, workers and friends
to hug it and bless it.
We moved to the farm in December of 1992.
