Environment
Our commitment with the environment comes from long ago, with the Sítio Pé na Terra, in Novo Hamburgo, an ecological icon of the 90s. Around here, the care is shown in the careful placement of the buildings – surgically implanted in the woods – and the treatment of water, unique in this region. But there’s more:
WATER: almost the totality of the water consumed comes from a spring
SEWERAGE SYSTEM: all of our sewer is treated in absorption drains
VEGETABLE GARDEN: we have an organic vegetable garden that supplies our kitchen with herbs, condiments and some vegetables
ORGANIC PRODUCTS: Whenever possible, due to the limitations of local markets, we use organic products, such as our jams and jellies.
GARBAGE – we separate our organic garbage, which is then used as fertilizer in our vegetable garden
SWIMMING POOL / OFURO: instead of traditional chlorine based treatments, we use a modern salt based method, which eliminates the residual chlorine content
GARDEN: Every single care taken with the garden is ecological, and no chemical product is used, under no circumstance.
