Lucy James's Comments

Hi Lucy,
My name is Alejandra Rogel, I'm 32 years old, I'm from Mexico City but I've been living in the US for about 5 years and now and I want to start a project outside Mexico City that involves organic farming, independent education, healing arts, and so on. I was a volunteer in an organic farm here in Boise, Idaho, and I'm looking forward to keep learning about it while I get smoothly settled back in Mexico. I'm graduated in Ethnology, hard working woman, speak english fluently, stick shift driver, love animals. So if you can use some help begining february please let me know. My boyfriend, he is a wwoofer as well, will contact you too. Thank you, and have a great NEW YEAR !!!

Hi Lucy, my name is Rodolfo and I'm Alejandra's boyfriend. Thanks for consider us and we will love to stay at least two months and we are open to stay more if possible. Don't worry about February, we could probably arrive there in March. I have worked in a ranch, taking care of animals like ostrich, horses, etc. I also have a lot of experience with construction, paint, artcrafts, cooking, stick shift driving and I am eager to learn more as I really like hands on work. I speak spanish and english, I want to keep practicing my english. So we'll be waiting to hear from you, thanks again.
Have a great New Year.

Hola Lucy, this is Alejandra, I just wanted to check with you and make sure you got Rodolfo's message. We will stay in touch to see if you could use our help once we know when exactly we are going to get there (march-april).
Un abrazo

Lucy,

I am interested in discussing the possibility of my joining your crew. I am interested in helping in any way I can. I am studying fungi and would love to help you get some edible fungi growing at the farm. I think I will be flying to sothern Mexico in early-mid february. If there is room on the farm and/or potential for me to spend some time there starting in late feb. or march, I would like to discuss possibilities and details.

thanks,
Nicholas Janson

Hey there Lucy,
My name is Eric and I am very interested in joining your crew. I have been researching permaculture and sustainable living for a number of years and would really love to come work with you and your crew. I am quite comfortable living off the land as I have 100 acres in Quebec with no running water/electricity etc. I really want to give back to this planet in a healthy and natural way. I am an "outside the box" thinker who comes up with many alternatives for things all the time. I really want to help others by helping myself. If i can learn more I can teach more and thus create change amongst my peers wherever I am on earth. I am very energetic and eager to be put to work. Nothing is too small or insignificant for me and every accomplishment is worthy. My friend Caitie and I are traveling to Mexico in February around the 9th, we can alter plans based on need. We would really love to hear back from you and determine whether you have space for two serious eco-minded, dedicated, hard-working people. Any response, positive or negative would be greatly appreciated as we are really eager to explore another culture and contribute to meaningful work
Thanks in advance
Caitie and Eric

Lucy,
Do you by any chance know if you are available by the second week in February? Or unsure of how long your current wwoofers will stay? I ask only because I am really trying to get down there as soon as possible. If you might be able to tell me a time frame of when in the second week of february, that would be greatly appreciated. We could perhaps make arrangements to replace your current wwoofers when they leave with ourselves.
Thanks, Eric and Caitie

hi lucy,

my boyfriend and i are interested in wwoofing at your place. we could be there in a week. do you have space?

Hola, mi amigo y yo viajamos a central y Sudamérica de los EEUU sin obligaciones de tiempo y buscamos granjas en nuestra manera. Probablemente permaneceríamos un par de semanas a la vez, pero, porque no estamos sujetados a la hora, si usted nos necesita más tiempo, adoraríamos permanecer. ¿Qué preguntas tiene usted para nosotros, y que debemos saber?

Hi, my friend and I are traveling through central and south america from the US with no real time obligations and we are looking for farms on our way down to stay with. We would most likely only stay a couple of weeks at a time, but as I said we aren't tied down on time so if you need us longer and/or we get along we'd love to stick around! What questions do you have for us and what should we know?

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Hey the place sounds amazing and am eager to join although I posted a few days ago I will post here aswell. really hoping to get a response.

Hello,
My name is Jeremy (28) and my girlfriend is Katie (23), we are
traveling through Mexico and interested in this opportunity.
We are from Oregon,USA and have limited expierence in oraganic
farming but are eager to learn and very hard workers.
We are both seasoned travelers but decided to buy a one way
ticket and travel for as long as we can manage so we will be
able to commit to long or short term projects.We are willing
and interested in working all types of labor, meeting new people,
and building knowledge about the environment that we can carry
on with us. We are currently in the Yuctan but will be making
our way all around Mexico and time is not an issue,
so a detour to your location would be exciting and appreciated.
I have some expierence landscaping and construction. Katie is
very experienced working with children and animals.
We look forward to your response.
Jeremy and Katie

Lucy,
Thank you for the quick response, we both look forward to working with you and your animals. I will take a note of your phone number and give you a call in the next day or two. We would be available anytime to head your way so keep us posted on any other updates.
Jeremy and Katie

Lucy,
I am glad that you got the immediate help but must admit we are a little dissappointed. We will be traveling around this area for the next four-ish months and will keep in touch, if anything opens up for two people let us know and we will be there in a matter of days.
Thank you,
Katie and Jeremy

Hey Lucy,
My girlfriend and I are are currently working in a school in Nicaragua, and are looking to come farm in Mexico afterwards. Your farm sounds amazing, and we´d love to come in Mid-April for about three weeks if you have space. If you could let us know what your availability is, that would be great. Thanks so much!
Noah and Marian

Lucy,
My name is Jeremy. I messaged you about a week ago asking if you could host my girlfrind and I. You responded and told us you were full at the time. I was wondering if any spots had opened up? My girlfriend had to fly home due to a family emergency but she will be back in one week. However I am in Tulum at the moment and would love to help with your dogs/animals. I could start working by this monday. If possible, katie would meet me at your ranch a week after i got there and work as well. As we mentioned earlier we love animals and have open travel plans and are therefore open to long term work.
hope to hear from you soon

I don't know how to respond. I have just had the second wwoofer in a row leave; both after less than one week. The first week Involves an amazing amount of learning on your part and training on mine. People seem to come because they are in the area, and with unrealistic expectations. Although there is a small garden, THE FOCUS IS DOGS. There are 18 unruly rescued dogs that need walking, bathing, dipping and grooming. There is raking and burning and weeding to be done. There are mosquitoes and chechen trees and if you are white you may get welts on your legs and more. There is only one bicycle. We do not have organic food (except for what comes from the garden, just herbs now). You have to do a lot of cooking for yourself. There is limited electricity. I am not here much of the time during the day. I am sorry to be so cynical but in my four years as a host ranch I have dealt with skin cancer scares, pregnancy scares, mental illness issues, financial crises, lost souls. And those are in wwoofers, not me! You guys certainly seem determined and all of that having been said I can get back on the pony and try one more time...what do YOU think? Feel free to call me at 984 105 9681. Thanks...
