| After three years, the “Arraiá do Tamanduá” (a country folk party), which had disappeared after 10 years of tradition, was successfully resurrected, thanks to the untiring efforts of Janailda, George, and Flávio, the dance master, and to the great support and encouragement of Pierre. | ||||

There were 9 rehearsals – 5 in the school court and 4 in the Museum yard, as the party would be there. After untiring efforts, dedication and lots of loving care, the long-awaited 16th of August arrived. A large audience was present, formed by people from the Farm, from the neighboring communities and from Patos. A jury formed by Célia, Sáfira and Marisa awarded 4 trophies: for the liveliest pair – Natália and Vinicius (Maria Bonita and Lampião); one for the liveliest lady – Elaine; and one for the liveliest gentleman, who was Márcio. |

Fresh Ricotta – a mild, creamy product with a delicate, pleasant texture; it has a neutral flavor and can be mixed with sweet or savory food; Saint Paulin-Type Cheese – this is a cheese of French origin and is matured for 4 to 5 weeks; it has a yellowish aspect and a firm rind. Inside, the cheese is buttery, soft and tasty; Reblochon-Type Cheese – this cheese, matured for 4 weeks, is also of French origin; the inside of the cheese is light ivory in color, fine and smooth, with some round, shiny holes and a firm rind. |

| In addition to the cheeses, our Biodynamic Honey in 300 g. glass jars and 25 kg pails was also approved. Our Biodynamic Honey originates from the typical vegetation of the Sertão, that is, characterized as the Caatinga, naturally rich and well diversified, providing excellent quality honey, with a specific color, aroma and flavor for each of the vegetable species visited by the bees | ||||

We usually work with three prevailing blooms (this is not a one-flower honey), namely, Velame –blooms between the months of January and February, lasting on average 22 days. The honey produced is dark-colored, rich in minerals and has an excellent flavor; Marmeleiro – blooms after the first rains fall (from February to March), lasting on average 18 days. The flowers are frequently visited by the bees Apis mellifera. It is a very good plant for the production of honey, which has a yellowish color and characteristic aroma; it is very tasty; Black Mallow – blooms in the months of April, May and June, lasting on average 20 days. It produces excellent honey, with a light color and excellent flavor. |

They are healthy foodstuffs, rich in nutrients, obtained through the use of biodynamic preparations, seeking in production a balance in the biodiversity of the environment, that is, harmonious integration of nature’s elements: soil, plant, water, animal and energy. |
