What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
Aside from projects around my home and my daily efforts, formally none. I maintain a small collection of plants and flowers, and I've grown a handful of different vegetables and herbs in containers. I'm a bicycle commuter, avid about water and energy conservation, and a conscientious omnivore.
What are your reasons for joining WWOOF Mexico?
Learning about sustainable living and agriculture, Getting to know Mexico better
What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?
I speak a fair amount of Spanish with several years of study under my belt; I toured and volunteered in Ecuador and Peru for a few months, as well. I'm resourceful, organized, and intuitively good with my hands. I have a strong work ethic, and believe firmly in group cooperation - "Many hands make light work." I believe I'm a small but vital cog in a rusty, but trusty, old machine that's worth restoring.
thank you for your message, there are a few requests for the months of october and november, but none has confirmed the exact dates, so we will give priority to people who confirm with the most anticipation.
here is a link to a pdf file which explains our activities in more detail and should answer some of your questions.
Yep, we can always use help, and there´s room for you in our dorm in September. The food is great, the work is hard, and the dorm in La Casa del Pan is small but friendly, and there´s hot water in the shower!
September is rainy in the afternoons. You should bring rain gear so you stay dry. We don´t expect you to work in the rain, but you can get caught in it!
Please keep in touch, to confirm your dates. ¿Hablas español? Es requisito.
We had a cyclist from Oregon a couple of years ago, and before her, a couple from Switzerland who were on a 5-year cycling trip around the world! They stayed with us for two months.
Si, lo hablo. "Bastante" es que yo prefiero decir. No he practicado mucho en los nueve anos pasados, pero tengo confidencia que puedo usarlo de nuevo cuando es necesario. Pero, en ingles...
My bike only gets me around Tucson right now, not so much between cities. I will be arriving by good, old-fashioned bus. Please pencil me in for on or around the 1st of September, and you can put it in ink as soon as I let you know I've purchased my flight tickets in the next week or so. Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm looking forward to this opportunity.
September 7 to October 20 or so would be great. Like i said, there is always lots of work to do here, and you will be most welcome!
Mornings are generally sunny all year, so i recommend a hat, and the sun is really strong at 7000 feet elevation, so be warned. Garden work can be muddy, and sometimes you might get caught in an afternoon rain, so plan for it. The work is varied: digging, raking, planting beds,harvesting vegetables, sorting seeds, making compost, and weeding, for example. Experience is not necessary, but willingness to work hard is much appreciated. You will be working with local people, Tzotzil maya-speakers who also speak Spanish. They are great people and work hard. We will feed you and house you in La Casa del Pan. Look it up. It´s on Trip Advisor. Great vegetarian food, and really nice staff.
Any questions?
Hope it´s not too hot there in Tucson. It´s perfect weather here!
Great, J.R. Your stay with us is confirmed! Yes, come to La Casa del Pan when you arrive in San Cristóbal. Real de Guadalupe 55, which is in the middle of the 3rd block from the "zocalo," (Parque Central), of the walking street ("El Andador de Guadalupe"). On Sundays we close early: 4:30 p.m. Any other day: 10:30 p.m.
Ask for me or for Amalia, Sofia or Irma, and we´ll get you settled in the dorm and introduce you to the staff. It´s helpful if you let me know when you will be arriving!
Enjoy the rest of summer. Looking forward to meeting you,
We would be happy to have you, but november would not be possible we are receiving a family and a couple! We have space for you form october 15 to november 2nd...let us know if this fits your plans. Saludos!!!

Hi again,
i see you are a cyclist! Great! Will you be cycling down from Arizona?
We had a cyclist from Oregon a couple of years ago, and before her, a couple from Switzerland who were on a 5-year cycling trip around the world! They stayed with us for two months.
