What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
My experience is in Urban Agriculture and gardening. I teach a backyard composting class at a local demonstration garden, volunteer in community gardens around the city, and have experience gardening at home. So I know a bit about organic and sustainable growing on a small scale, but I'm looking forward to experiencing the day to day of a larger scale operation.
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 love to learn! And I'm a hard worker. I'm excited to learn about organic farming but I also want to learn about Mexican culture.

Yes, you are welcome! We just Ask with stays less than 3 months 55 pesos per day for meals. (less than 3.14 dollars.)
We are planning on being in Oaxaca at the end of October, with hopes of WWOOFing in mid-November. We have not yet WWOOFed, but are looking forward to the experience. When are you planning on WWOOFing?
Hey, Whitney! It looks like you are doing your homework to find out what you are in for! Wendy and I have not yet heard back from this farm, but are really interested. What 's the trick to get a response from them? We'll be in Mexico for 3 months and want to WWOOF on at least 3 farms.
I wrote to the main contact, Roberto Lepe, and he actually responded right away. But then I asked some questions about details of the stay and suggestions for getting there and he didn't really answer my questions, which is why I reached out to all the folks subscribing to the farm. I wrote him in English, maybe I'll try in Spanish soon? Anyway, good luck!
Hey, Whitney! Wendy and I enjoyed our stay, but there is lots for you to think about before you go. e-mail us at wdgraves@frontier.com and we can discuss. It would probably be better to talk on the phone, so if you want to talk, you could send your # (or we can send ours). Would love to discuss our experience. Don and Wendy
I'm considering working at the coffee farm in San Juan Lachao. It looks like you were as well. I was wondering if you ended up visiting the farm, and, if so, how was your experience?
Thanks,
Ben Slatky

Hi Whitney, I haven't wwoofed in Mexico yet, so I can't speak personally about any farms.
Hi Whitney
No, I never did wwoof there, so I can't really say about their farm. Good luck though!
