Ethical
Policy
I have
purchased this farm on an ethical basis in that the farm has the
preserved forest on which no one can use for agriculture or development.
I employ a young couple from Pojuca who work looking after the farm
and the guests when they are there. For this they receive the government
set minimum wage plus four weeks holiday a year and additional salary
at Christmas. Brazilian workers have very strong rights protected
by the government. They have their accommodation and bills provided
and I pay their National Insurance which entitles them to free health
care. I also employ a local administrator. I have provided employment
to build the swimming pool which has all been done locally.
