This is Cielo, bike traveler from Jeju island South Korea. I started from San Francisco, USA, and going to south. I am going to be near your location in 10 to 15 days. I have done WWOOF before. Could I join your WWOOF?
I'm 25, and I'm with my girlfriend (http://www.wwoofmexico.org/profile/CANDACEBEHRLE). We can start a week from now since we are currently in Tampico. I can stay until September 18th, she can stay until August 21st.
We both lived in a housing co-op where we worked in the garden and the compost. We grew food for the house. I also have worked "off-the-grid" as a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska (but this was not a very sustainable job). We are both from Austin Texas where we are/were students in math and physics.
A little more about myself. I have a lot of experience with manual and mildly skilled labor. I've been a mover, fisherman, machinist, and I think sailing experience might count although I've never been paid for it.
More skilled labor: I have graduated with a physics degree and I feel comfortable working with home wiring and electronics. I've also worked a lot on motorcycles recently so I know my way around engines. And most recently I was employed as a programmer.
We were originally planning on sailing a small sail boat along the atlantic coast of mexico this summer however our boat had problems that were too expensive to fix so we have decided to go wwoofing instead. We are currently couch surfing in Tampico, but we are going to Mexico city in a few days.
Me and my girlfriend are traveling by bike from Seattle to patagonia.
we will be in la paz in probably less than 22 days (I can't be more precise)
We would like to work for you for something like 2 weeks (or more if we bike fast :) ).
We are french so we really like cheese (bread too:) ) and friends of me do their own (but they buy their milk). I learned very fast and you'll not have to be behind me at anytime, i'm very social and never refuse to do something. In France I was working for a compagny that repair appartments (plumbry, eletrecity, etc etc). I was also a sailing and canoeing instructor.
I hope that you'll agree to give us the opportunity to work at your farm.
My name is Oliver. I have prior experience WWOOFing, as well as living an alternative, do-it-yourself style lifestyle. I ferment, I cook, I bake, I love the outdoors. As well as this, I am a Mechanical Engineering Technologist, and am very handy with both carpentry and other mechanical devices etc. I am a hard worker and no stranger to working with my hands, and like animals.
I am planning to be in Mexico for approximately three months starting this October and was wondering if you were looking for WWOOFers during this period?
Please email me at oliverjterry@gmail.com if you are interested in having me as a WWOOFer.
Your farm sounds quite lovely. I hope to visit it on my visits to La Paz. I have an unusual request too and I don't know really where to turn. My father loved and lived in La Paz for nearly 25 years. He raised geese, birds, and had dogs. He passed away last month. :( I found homes for the birds he raised, but I need to find a good home for his dog, a lovely smart guard dog, weimaraner. He is used to being around other animals on a large lot and does not bother them. I would like to find him a good home where he may be around other animals and enjoy running around. I'd be happy to help with his costs just knowing he has a good home to be in with company. I will be in La Paz in a few days, and need to find him a home as I don't live there. I would love to also visit your farm, & help when possible. I cant promise lengthy stays, but can help occasionally when in town which will be every few months. I do have farming in my blood too, we had a ranch raising alfalfa, chickens, & angus when I was a child in San Luis Obispo, for nearly 10 years, so I know what it's like with things on the land. It's all good :). I hope to hear from you. I may be reached at ymgalvez@hotmail.com. very kind regards, Yvonne Galvez
Due to the hurricane we took a bus to Santa Rosalia. As you asked me, I recontact you now that we are closer.
We are now at Loreto and we planed to be in La PAZ sunday or monday (depends on the wind and your preference).
Tell me if you are ok to receive us. And give us the direction, we have a map (1cm/10km scale) and a small GPS to find our way.
Thanks again
Hasta luego!

Hola,
We are Grégoire Tison and Maxime Wallon, we come from Belgium, and we are two new WWOOFers. We are 18 and 19 years old. We speak fluently english and we have some bases in spanish.
We are really interested in your eco-project.
We are ready to help the others and to change utterly our lifestyle in profit to your organisation ( to live self-sufficiently and promote local agriculture and products, to participate to sustain your habits). Especialy the fact that you live only with the sun to give you your energy, the cheese production and the great variety of animals.
That’s why we would like to join you in your farm in Baja California.
But we have some questions to ask :
Firstly, is it possible to join you between the 12th november 2014 and 28th april 2015 (so approximatly 6 month) ?
Secondly, as we said above we come from Europe, so is it possible to have one room for two because it’s impossible for us to take a tent in the plane and to camp in your farm ?
Thirdly, we will surely arrived at the Manuel Marquez Leon international airport ( La Paz ), from there to your farm (20km), do you take care of our transport or do we need to take public transport ?
Fourthly, are there frequent public transport (coaches, taxis) and any stores nearby ? That bring the question about : what do we need to take with us such as : walking shoes, farming clothes, soap, washing materials, rain clothes … etc
Finally, is there any mobile and internet connection in your farm to communicate with our family in belgium ? And do you have a little idea about the budget of pesos that we need during our journey in Mexico.

Hola Miguel,
My boyfriend, Ernesto, and I are hoping to WWOOF at your farm in January 2015 for at least 2 weeks, at most 3. Your farm sounds like a great place! We are traveling down the Baja to La Paz, and then continuing to travel through Mexico. Love it if you could host us, as this is our first WWOOFing experience and we are really eager to learn. Ernesto has avid bread making experience in his own vegan kitchen, and cooking in general. We both work at a vegetarian restaurant in Boston. We are interested in cheese making and taking care of animals (especially those dogs!), or whatever you may need.
