What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
I have worked on a peach orchard, a large scale organic farm that supplied to a large grocery store, and I am currently volunteering at a small scale organic farm that supplies produce to the local farmer's market. I have a Bachelors degree in Resource and Environmental Studies with a minor in horticulture. I have been organically gardening in my backyard for the last three years and absolutely love working with plants.
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 am hard working, eager to learn, and quick at picking up new skills. My boyfriend, Colin, and I will be traveling through Mexico from Puerto Vallarta down to Cancun starting in April of 2012. Colin has 5 years of construction experience and is also eager to learn new skills.
It is rustic camping so bring your sleeping gear. we are at this time spending some time at the farm and some time in town where we have a house and gardening project also. If you chooses you may stay full time at the farm in which case you need to be somewhat self sufficient with cooking and fire.
Maby there will be other woofers.
We don't really have a rule about how long to stay however we hope for a week at least.
The other thing is we are a family with teens and we try to avoid being around substance abuse.
I am hoping to begin traeling through mexico soon as well but am a little concerned as far as how to get around so i am sending out a few emails to other wwoofers to find out how they are going about it. do you plan on taking buses or renting a car? what is your strategy/ advice?
Hola Abby, I am sorry to tell you I am unable to take any wwoofers with animals, as I have to wonderful doggies of my own who are very large and very aggressive toward any other dog. Good luck & I wish you the very best. There are many farms here in Mexico and I am sure you and Colin and the doggie will find one that will welcome the 3 of you with open arms. Saludos, Lisa
