Fazenda de Verão (English: Summer Farm) was a Brazilian reality television show, which premiered on October 31, 2012 during the Southern Hemisphere summer. It was broadcast by Rede Record television network.

The series was a spin-off of A Fazenda, but with ordinary people, instead of the celebrities playing the role of housemates. Rodrigo Faro was the host, replacing Britto Junior from the main celebrity version. The grand prize was R$1 million with tax allowances.

On March 26, 2013, it was confirmed that the series had been canceled and would not be returning for a second season.

The show features 22 contestants who are sequestered in the Farm with no contact to or from the outside world. while having all their steps followed by cameras around-the-clock. Each week, the contestants take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win the power in the Farm.

Each housemate must nominate one of their fellow housemates to face the public vote. "Voting to save" was used for the public vote as opposed to the "vote to evict" method generally used in main celebrity series.
