Here's a Google translation of the "about" section of the Facebook page, from which many of the viral article pics seem to have been taken:
We are a rural community in the city of Belo Vale / MG, called Bride of
the Lamb and have a philosophy, the Collaborative Work to maintain a decent quality of life for everyone, so we develop all activities together. The Assoc. Bride of the Lamb ACNC also called, is a non-profit entity and conducts Social and Cultural projects through partnership with public and private agencies.
Our greatest reward is to live without fights or discord, love everyone equally, without a shadow of doubt trust in our fellow man, have faith in God and know that we do not need religion to have eternal life.
Products
Cultural, Theatre, Dance and Music, activities use art as a vehicle of transformation, inclusion and recreation of children, teenagers, adults and seniors. Survived agriculture and to supplement the income of the community, create arts and crafts workshops, underwear and cleaning products.
I'm guessing it's a town with a business/organization that employs mostly/all women and someone made something up...

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to
draft one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
