I visited Barra da Estiva, in Bahia, to get a closer look at the family farming that transforms people’s lives in this region of Chapada Diamantina. The city is known for its stunning landscapes and for being an important hub for rural production, especially for strawberries, coffee, tangerines and blackberries. My first stop was at a property where Renan, along with his father and brother, dedicates themselves to growing strawberries. They work hard, picking and packaging the strawberries for distribution, ensuring production all year round. The routine is intense, starting early and requiring continuous dedication. Next, I visited Donizete, a blackberry farmer, who explained how the fruit is an easy-to-manage and low-cost crop, with two harvest cycles per year. There I also took the opportunity to taste the flavors of his mother Dona Maria’s famous free-range chicken. On the property of Neide, Renan’s cousin, I saw tangerines being produced. She shared her journey back to farming after living in São Paulo. Fruit production allowed his family to improve their lives, building a house and buying a car. To finish, I visited Ângelo's farm, a coffee producer with over 30 years of experience. He highlighted the importance of the crop for the local economy and how crop diversification has helped farmers prosper. #BarraDaEstiva #Bahia #ChapadaDiamantina ===================== WHO IS MATHEUS BOA SORTE? I am passionate about the cultural traditions of the Brazilian Northeast. To be more specific, the backlands, which I believe are much more than a corner of Brazil that gets little rain. For me, the backlands are feelings, states of mind, of those who carry within themselves Smiles, Faith, Persistence, Courage and a little bit of mischief. I am an advertising professional by academic training, and I pay my bills through art. I am a singer, composer, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV host, radio host... Lots of things, right? But I summarize all this in just one job: I AM A STORYTELLER.
