Hola Terresa!! I am living in San Miguel, staying on a ranch right now that is in development, and I really want to help out by starting a veggie garden for my friend here.  I was wondering if I could come visit your farm and talk to you about the land, what grows well, how the soil is, what your experience as a farmer here has been, and hopefully when I leave here I can come put in a month or more with you.  Your projects sound very interesting and just what I am looking for, however since I have a commitment to some schooling here in SM I want to be as useful as possible.  I have experience with growing food and plant propagation.  I am strong and deeply connected to the earth, and love love love to grow my own food to eat and share and cook for others.  looking forward to hearing from you.

hello Terresa!

I am from Upstate New York, am 34 years old, and am staying in San Miguel from March 15th until April 1st in a rental unit. I am attending a meditation/writers retreat in March also, but I am looking to do some wwoofing before my rental and retreat begin. I wwoofed in New Zealand and Australia for six months, one year ago, and loved the experience so much that I am craving for more! I have never been to Mexico, and have found that for me, the best way to learn about a new culture is to immerse yourself in it completely; this is what i have found through wwooofing. Would you have any availability between the dates of Feb 26th through March 14th?? Please let me know, as I would love to come work with you. Cheers! Aimee

Hi Terresa, just wondering if you´d have any availability toward the end of this month for a couple of weeks worth of work. At the moment I´m working on a farm on the coast of veracruz, but I was hoping to head over to San Miguel de Allende soon. I don´t have a lot of experience, but I´m hardworking and, for what it´s worth, good at cooking. Please let me know if you´d be able to accommodate me. Sorry for the late notice! my email: Jshifflett112@gmail.com. Thanks and all the best! Jonathan

Hi Terresa,
My boyfriend and I have been on a bicycle tour for the last five months and we're ready to stop and spend time on a farm. Your description of being a family affair and homestead particularly jumped out at us as an ideal spot. We'd like to spend at least two weeks with you and your family and we could arrive there as soon as Thursday. This will be the first WWOOF experience for both of us so we're really excited to work, learn, and share! Neither of us have much farming experience, but we've spent years doing seasonal work and thoroughly enjoy working outside. We would happily work on any of your current projects. If you want to know more about us take a look at our blog at www.wegoslow.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Emily

Hola Querida!

My name is McKenzie. I am 22 years and have been living in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil for the last year, but I am originally from NYC. I have a strong passion for sustainable living and I think that it is extremely important to learn and apply these practices as much and as often as possible. I speak English and Brazilian Portuguese, and I am currently learning Spanish and Japanese. I am a visual artist and a student of many things. I love to skill share and cannot wait to assist in all projects. I will be in Guanajuato from July 14th to August 3rd. My preference would be to stay with you for that entire time period, if you have space. Please contact me with any and all questions. My email address is ashley.mckenzie@trincoll.edu and you can add me on facebook: McKenzie Angelo. If you need or would like anything from Brazil, Japan or NYC, please let me know. I will be in these locations before I arrive in Mexico. Thank you so much and I look forward to meeting you and building with you. Please contact me at you earliest convenience. 

Abrazos, 

McKenzie

Hi

I posted on the farms site also. My name is Saoirse McHugh. I am aware that you have said over 23 is preferable. I will be 22 when I begin my travelling. I will be travelling alone. I am familiar with organic farming as all of our own vegetables are grown at home (in Ireland)but I would be extremely interested in learning about the crops and soil in such a different climate. I am currently working as a horse handler. I love the satisfaction after a hard days work and I love to meet new people and laugh. I would love to be at your farm in mid-July. I am beginning to take Spanish lessons and hope to have at least the basics by the time I begin to travel. If there is anything else you would like to know about me please feel free to email me at

homeofsaoirse@gmail.com

I hope to hear from you soon,

Saoirse

If you are interrested, you can contact us at marlinetinpo@gmail.com, or by the wwoofing website.

Hopping that we will meet you!

Hola, la semana pasada les enviamos el siguiente mensaje por email. Es muy importante que respondan a wwoofmail@yahoo.com lo antes posible.
Hello, last week we sent you the following message via email. It is very important that you respond to it ASAP to wwoofmail@yahoo.com

Con la finalidad de mantener nuestras bases de datos al día y seguir mejorando nuestros servicios, les estamos contactando para verificar que permanezcan activos como parte de nuestras granjas de WWOOF Mexico. Quisiéramos también recordarles que todas las granjas pertenecientes a WWOOF deben cumplir con lo siguiente:
1- Los administradores de granjas deben comprometerse a responder a TODOS los emails un tiempo máximo de DOS SEMANAS. Deben responder a todos los correos que reciban de parte de los WWOOers, aun cuando sea solamente para rechazar una solicitud.
2-Como ya saben, uno de los principios básicos de WWOOF es que las granjas deben proporcionar alimento y hospedaje sin hacer ningún cobro. No se permitirá bajo ninguna circunstancia pedir dinero a los WWOOFers (cuota, colaboración, donativo, etc.). Todas las comidas y alojamiento adecuado deben brindarse de manera gratuita y a cambio únicamente de su trabajo en la granjas.
Les pedimos que respondan a este correo para asegurarnos que quieren seguir siendo listados y que estén enterados y de acuerdo con los requisitos. De no responder en un lapso de 2 semanas asumiremos que su granja se encuentra inactiva. Por favor tomen en cuenta que aquellas granjas que no deseen o no puedan acatar estas condiciones no serán listadas.
Quedamos a la espera de su respuesta y agradecemos su cooperación.

In order to keep our database up to date and keep improving our services, we are now contacting you to verify that you remain active as part of our WWOOF Mexico host farms. We would also like to take this opportunity to ask you to confirm your compliance regarding the responsibilities and rules of being a host farm.
1- We would like to remind you that all host farm managers must commit to answering ALL emails within TWO WEEKS at the most. Every email must be replied to, even if it is to turn them down when all spots have been filled.
2- As you know, one of WWOOF’s basic principles is for farms to provide food and a place to stay without charging WWOOFers. Please remember it is against our policy for farms to ask for money from WWOOFers under any circumstance (fees, contributions, donations, etc.). All meals and suitable accommodation must be provided free of charge and in exchange only for their work at the farm.
We ask that you please respond to this email so we can be sure you still want to be listed and that your farm will abide by these requirements. If we do not receive a response within 2 weeks’ time we will assume your farm is no longer active. Please note that those farms which are unable or unwilling to comply with these two conditions will not be listed.
We await your reply and thank you for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Ernesto Garcia

Hola Terresa!

Soy Signe de Dinamarca y tengo 24 años. Ya terminé mi semestre (de intercambio) en la UNAM en el DF. Y ahora quiero conocer el campo y la gente. Tu granja/proyecto suena muy interesante y me gustaría quedarme dos semanas. Sé que escribo un poco tarde - podría venir este proximo martes, el 17, y quedarme hasta 29 de julio.
Sostenibilidad me interesa mucho (es mas o menos lo que estudio) y mis padres también tienen una granja orgánica, y por eso tengo experiencia con el trabajo, aun creo que sea muy diferente aquí que en Dinamarca. A lado de mis estudios tambien estoy haciendo trabajo con huertos urbanos cuando estoy en Dinamarce. Además fui a granjas de wwoof en España.
Hablo también ingles, y me puedes con contactar por bswedele@gmail.com
Espero tu respuesta!
Saludos, Signe

Saludos!

My name is Ariel, I am a student from the US. I am 21 years old and go to school in Oregon, where I am active in many Organic farms. I would love to come work on your farm!

I am very interested in traditional methods of agriculture, homesteading, cooking, art, music, dance and yoga, food networks and food justice, and living in an active, conscious community.


I have been going to school in Querétaro, and have been looking into WWOOFing and other farming opportunities in Mexico. I would love an opportunity to come and work at your farm.

I am able to communicate verbally for the most part in Spanish, on a fairly intermediate level, though I am excited to learn more, and am a fast learner.

I am interested in staying for a duration of 3 days to 2 weeks. Hopefully during this month of August. I wish I could stay longer but my time left in Mexico is very limited. Is there enough space for more guests?

I very much look forward to your response!

Ariel
