Hola David,

My name is Gerardo Hernandez and I am an American traveling down to Mexico with a friend (his name is Samuel Bogar) to learn subsistence farming and permaculture. We both really enjoyed the description of your farm and would love to help out. The two of us bring varied skills of farming to the table and are willing to learn anything new if necessary. Currently, we will be in Mexico within the next month and a half so hopefully we can be able to work on your farm. Hope to hear from you soon!

Here's my email in which you can contact me: ghernandez7529@gmail.com

Kindest regards,

Gerardo Hernandez

Hola David,

Mi nombre es Daniel Rodriguez. Yo soy un Australiano de parientes Uruguayos. Tengo 29 anos y hablo Inglés y Espanol (mucho mejor que escribo :-). Hace 5 meses que estoy pasiando por Sudamerica conociendo este continente impresionante, pero ahora con el frio vino tiempo a mudarme mas al norte!

Voy a llegar a Mexico el 27 de Agosto con mi novia Vanna. Nos encantaria trabajar y contribuir nuestra pericia en tu quinta/projecto. Yo me dedico a diseno industrial. He trabajado en Espana y Australia en varios proyetos incluyendo diseno de irrigaccion para una huerta hydroponica. Tambien trabaje como un paisajista por seis meses en Australia. Fue un trabajo que me gusto mucho. La experiencia de trabajar tan cerca con la tierra, afuera en el sol y aire fresco es algo que extraño mucho despues de 4 años en una officina.

Mi novia tiene mas experiencia que yo en horticultura. Trabajo por dos anos en una granja creciendo aguacates y lychees. Es experta en técnicas de cultivo y tambien tiene una passion tremenda por comidas organicas y las practicas de sostenibilidad.

Si tenes sitio queremos cometer a tu granja por dos o tres semanas para empezar pero tenemos el sentido de quedarnos por mas tiempo si tu deseas.

Somos los dos buenos trabajadores y nos encanta conocer a gente nueva. Comemos de todo tambien. De verdad somos una pareja de bajo mantenimiento :-)

Si tienes alguna pregunta por favor escríbeme. Espero tu respuesta.

(Y por favor perdona mi Español. Es mi idioma segunda :-)

Daniel Rodriguez y Vanna Pho

Hola!

My name is Matija from Slovenija or Eslovenia in Spanish :)
I'm planing to travel in Mexico for my 2nd time from mid Oct. to ''who knows'' :)
Your place really caught my eye because it looks a bit like something I want to create in the near future in my home town and I think it would be great to learn from people who already made something like that.

 I would be interested to help you at your place from second week of Nov. (not sure about exact date yet) for three weeks at first and if we both agree I could stay more as I won't be restricted by time.
I don't have any volunteering experience yet but I'm looking forward to. I have a garden in my backyard where I grow lots of organic vegetables so I have experience about gardening, around the house and construction works so this kind of work is not a problem for me. As for my Spanish...well it's quite basic but I do speak Italian so learning shouldn't take me too much time :)
I hope you can find some time for me to help you at your place.

A la espera de su respuesta,
Matija

Hola David, my name is Taylor Shaw. I am 23 years old and currently volunteering in Tepoztlan, Mexico at a yoga retreat/orphanage. I would like to get more deeply involved in organic farming and plan to head to Oaxaca as soon as this weekend in search of opportunities. I am very interested in the roof top project you are planning to create as I hope to pursue urban farming when I get back to the states. This is not actually my wwoofing account, it is a friend of mine, so I sent you a brief Facebook message a few days ago but figured I should try through here as well. I have 2+ years of organic farming experience and just want to keep learning. Please contact me ASAP if you are still in need of help!! My email is shawmt@guilford.edu or feel free to message me through facebook

Hello David,

I am currently in Oaxaca de Juarez and I will be here until the 19th of August.  I am hoping to do some wwoofing when my time here is done.  I have experience in construction and I studied horticulture in college.  I thought your farm sounded like a good fit for me.  I hope to hear back from you.  Do you have room starting the end of this month? My email is roces420@yahoo.com  Thank you

Hi David,

I plan on arriving in Mexico in December of this year. I am very interested in Organic Farming and learning as much as I can If given the opportunity. Though I do not have much experience, I am a fast learner and physically fit. I want to learn the skills I need to start growing my own food to eventually provide for my family. 

My e-mail is es.ivan11@gmail.com, I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Ivan Fabrizio Escalante

Hello David,

My name is Skyler Banfill I see you grow nearly all my favorite fruits which puts a smile on my face. I am a student at West Virginia University in the USA. I have taken several years of Spanish and communicate and understand well (not fluently) but I am always improving and will always do my best (in anything) to become better. I am looking to be in the area around September 9th and if you are interested in the possibility of having me work (hard, diligently, and with a smile) on your farm, I would be able to work for 2 weeks to a month (preferred) starting on or around that date. I have been a vegetarian for nearly a year, so the food options (and family setting) sound wonderful.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you,

Skyler

At 8:52am on September 9, 2014, Wallon Maxime said…

Hi,

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 your garden roofs and your fruit trees culture.

That’s why we would like to join you in your farm in Oaxaca.

 

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 Puerto Escondido international airport, from there to your farm, 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.

 

We are already enjoyed by your answer.

Buenos dias.

Hi David

We are Guy and Sophie, both 27 years old and from New Zealand. We love gardening and being outdoors, and are excited about out time in Mexico.

Your farm sounds interesting and the plants you are growing must be delicious. We both have experience in gardening and have woofed before. The community garden we've been involved at for the last 3+ years is on a rooftop, so we understand the benefits and limitations of doing this. (photos on my profile)

We arrive in October, and are lucky enough to have two farms to help leading up to January, so we would be free from January on if you require any help? We are flexible about dates and are travelling with our bicycles and camping gear.

Best wishes

Guy + Sophie

Hello, David,

My name is Carrie, and my friend and I will be traveling in Oaxaca during late December. We are wondering if you could use the help of two WWOOFers for one week some time then. My Spanish is minimal; my friend's is a little better. I have WWOOFed in Italy and Turkey- I assisted on a goat farm, olive farm, and family farm. Please let me know any preferred dates you have within the last few weeks of December.

Thank you,

Carrie
