Hola estimada senora
Con mi amigo viajamos desde noviembre 2009.
Visitamos Australia , Nueva Zelanda, Indonesia, Fijis, Polynesia y California.
Encontramos mucha gente y vivimos momentos inolvidables.
Hemos trabajado duro antes de salir de Francia.
Hemos trabajado tambien en una granja de producción de melones en Australia durante quatro meses.
Hablo un poco espanol, my abuela es espanola.
Los dos, hablamos inglès.
Ahora nos gustaria mucho encontrar mexicanos y su cultura.
Pienso que el WWOOFING es una buena solucion para esto, es una buena oportunidad para tomar contacto con la civilizacion mexicana.
Estamos muy curiosos y interesados para arender nueva cosas.
Llegamos en México el 20 de setiembre y nos gustaria mucho trabajar durante dos o tres semanas en su hacienda
Esperando su respuesta y con nuestro más sincero agradecimiento por su atención.
Hasta luego.
Celine y Florent.

Hola! Como estas?

Sorry our spanish is not very good but we will improve quickly, we're sure! We are two french travelers(one girl and one boy), going from Canada to Argentina! We will be in Mexico for the next 2-3 months, from the 1st of October. We will be great to come at your place to help you for at least a week or two (depending of your needs). We have already been working in farms in Australia for a couple of months. We are hard workers, very energetic and willing to help with your project.Please let us know if this could work out for you and if it's ok, which date would be better for us to show up.

Hola Maria, me llamo Alex, tengo 25 años y vivo en cancun. Quisiera aprender sobre la cultura organica, y la verdad es que soy nuevo a todo esto de wwoof. Soy muy trabajador y tengo mucho tiempo disponible ya que estoy desempleado jaja. En fin, tu granja suena muy padre y me gustaria poder ayudarles en lo que sea. Me gusta cocinar y convivir con todo tipo de gente.

Hola Maria
Mi solicitud es tarde, pero sigue a un ausencia de respuestas.
Me habría venido a partir del próximo miércoles por 3 semanas o 1 mes. Mi nombre es Julie, tengo 25 y me tomó unos meses sabáticos para madurar un proyecto, que de tener una granja de vegetales. Por lo tanto, busco un lugar donde podía cultivar frutas y verduras sin productos químicos y desarollar mi conocimiento de la permacultura. También propongo la idea por mi futuro granja, de dar corsos de cocina para enseñar a la gente para cocinar de manera facil y comen saludable con productos de la tierra.
Acabo de trabajar 15 días en una granja en Veracruz. Soy una persona dinámica, motivados, de buen humor. Yo hablo español y entiendo lo que dicen.
Gracias por aceptarme en su granja y ayudarme a hacer mi proyecto
Si no me reciben antes del miércoles, que puede empujar a mi llegada
Julie

Estimada Maria,
Una amiga y yo viajaremos en México por lo menos dos meces, empezando al principio de Octubre. Estamos disponibles después del quince de Noviembre y adelante.
Somos dos de California. Mi amiga, Xochitl, tiene veintiséis años y yo tengo veintiúno.
He tenido experiencia trabajar afuera y en un jardín desde la niñéz. También tengo un poco de experiencia en construcción. Xochitl, ha trabajado en unas granjas de WWOOF en España y Portugal. Somos trabajadores duros y disfrutamos mucho del labor manual. Xochitl habla español y yo estoy aprendiendo.
Ambos somos amantes de los animales y niños y estamos muy cómodos con todos. ¿Cuándo necesitará ayuda en la granja? Nos encantaría trabajar para usted en aquel lugar hermosa.

Atentamente,
Rose Armin-Hoiland

Hola,

Me interesa mucho conocer su granja en Solferino. He trabajado en Oaxaca promoviendo el amaranto para re-introducirlo a communidades indigenas para prevener malnutricion. Tambien estuve trabajando en un huerto organico en un pueblo autosustentable cerca de Guadalajara y ahora estoy en Puerto Morelos trabajando con Renato, un artista que tiene un huerto organico.
Me interesa mucho las temas de permacultura y autosustentabilidad. No se si ustedes son afiliados con Maria Ros, la profesora de permacultura- voy a ese curso este fin de semana en Los Tres Rios.
Quiero venir a su granja esta semana que viene el lunes o martes si es posible. Espero que me puedes mandar mas informacion de su granja y si es posible trabajar con ustedes.
Muchisimas gracias!
Ciao,
Vanessa

Hi Maria,
My name is Myriam. I am a Canadian girl, age 31, speaks both French and English very well y no conozco muy bien el espanol pero verdaderamente quiero aprender tiene hablar español.
I would love to learn about sustainable development. I will return to school in January and will study supply management. I would love to work toward sustainable development and specialise in food supply management. I believe in self-sufficiency, sustainable development and would love to promote it in the future. I have experience working in farms, espacially with harvesting crops. I did many other related duties: thinning, weeding, digging, picking up rocks, planting, watering, etc.
I picked citrus fruits in Australia (oranges, lemons, mandarines) as well as cherries, apples, kiwis, etc. in New-Zealand, and I picked grapes, green peppers, tomatoes and many fruits in Canada. I am keen to learn, I`m efficient and hard-worker, easy going and willing to help with anything you might need. I will arrive in Mexico October 26th will stay there for 3-4 days and then will be available anytime between November 1st to January 10th. Ideally I would love to work with you for 3-5 weeks so I have time to learn spanish and learn everything I can about sustainable development.
Really excited about this opportunity so please get back to me as soon as possible! Your farm description suits me very well and I know I can help quite a lot with all sorts of duties. (Could also cook, clean, etc.)
Looking forward to hear from you and hopefully meeting with you,
Myriam Robichaud

Thank you for such a quick answer! I already sent a message to your son and will be waiting for his answer. Hoping to have the chance to meet you! :-)

Hello,
My boyfriend and I are traveling to Mexico in November and would like to come and help on your farm. We both speak a little Spanish and I speak French as well. We have experience in Ecotourism and I spent time on an Organic Dairy Farm in Denmark. Hopefully we will be able to help you and learn ourselves.
Thank you,
Sarah

Hello wonder farm! My name is Quinn. I am a 25 year old female raft guide, trained in Wilderness First Response, eat local meat, obsess in flowers and roots, and love to learn! I am traveling by sail and land around the area in January. I am available to work on your lovely farm for 3 weeks, late December and January. Intrigued by the shelter for the ill to regain strength and life... I have worked on a farm in California this summer with animals and enjoyed the growth of life. I have also studied Herbology and interested in learning more about traditional remedies of Mexico and Latin America. Lived in Ecuador this summer past and know quite a bit of Spanish.
Is your farm fully organic? What kind of help is needed this winter? Also, do volunteers supply their own food? As a community, are meals created from the farm together?
Looking forward to hearing more! quinnie107@hotmail.com

Hola !

I was wondering if you have space for volunteers in November? I am 28 years old, from the UK and I new to Wwoofing. I am currently travelling in Mexico and I would love the have the opportunity to come and help you in any way I can. I have had experience of horticulture in a commercial nursery and have also worked as a landscape gardener. I am really interested in learning more about ways of becoming self sustainable.

I am a beginner at speaking Spanish but I am improving!

I am free until 6th of Dec so if I can be of any help until then, let me know! I have a tent and I am happy to camp if space is limited.

Thanks for your time!

Dave

Hola!
Me llamo bernabeu, soy de francia ! I'll soon fly to Cancun to travel around South Mexico and Guatemala for few next months. I'm enthusiastic about your farm description! Do you need help??
I'm landscaper, I use to work outside, planting, gardening, woodwork, stonework..
It's been two months I'm wwoofing in Canada doing that kind of task but also picking mushrooms or building a wood made house!
I like to cook, I'd just learn to bake bread.
I have to improve my spanish but I learned it at scool, it should come back fast.
Gracias, y hasta pronto !
Bernabeu

Hola !
I’m Charlotte and come from France. I'm 21. I decided to stop school for a while, after the obtaining of my Technological Bachelor of Science Degree in Sustainable Development. I always wanted to travel and discover other cultures, and WWOOFing, I think, is the best way to do that. Furthermore, I want to learn a lot about organic farming and on the way, farms or companies manage to improve their ecological initiatives.
Your Farm really interests me. It seems there are a lot of things to do and see. I’m used to hard work, I have a lot of experience in farming. I can help you in the garden and in the orchard by picking, seeding, weeding, planting, etc. And I love doing and learning new things so don’t hesitate !
I landed in Toronto on June 22nd and travelled by hitchhiking along the East Coast of Canada with the WWOOF Community. I spent 3 or 4 weeks in each of the 3 farms that I went : in a Sheep' farm in Ontario, an Agroforestery farm in Quebec and a Whale Watching' farm in Nova Scotia. It always was a great pleasure to share the work with all those wonderful people. I was in an organic ranch in Mississippi, taking care of the cattle and the horses. I'm now in an organic farm in Louisiana, selling veggies in a farmers market in Bâton Rouge. What do you think ? I would love to stay for the whole month of December, maybe January also.
I hope hear from you soon !
Gracias
Charlotte



I’m waiting your answer impatiently !



If you have questions, go ahead !!

Hi Maria! Thanks for your message - we have a lot of questions, so I will email you and BETO.
Friendly regards, Julie

Hej :)
My name is Deni (30,Slovenia)and Tina (26,Spain).
We are traveling around, living and learning from nature and visiting farms and other places to get some more experience about bio-construction and permaculture.
We have some experience from past (communitys and farms)so the work is not strange to us :)
We would like to come to your farm ofcourse if you need our assistance.
Thank you,..
Hope to hear from you soon :)

(We will be in that area around 25.11.)

Hi Maria,

My name is Andrew Fontana and and I recently joined Woof with my
friend Colin Bartz-Overman. The two of us are going to spend the next
half-year traveling throughout Central America and we would like to
spend some of that time working and living on an organic farm.

We both are recent college graduates. My degree is in Environmental Studies, where much of my educational focus and interest was in alternative agriculture. I feel that the way humans obtain their food is the most crucial change needed for a new, sustainable relationship with the planet. I want to become more involved in the processes that sustain me, such as farming, in ways that make the soil and planet healthier. Both Colin and I have spent multiple summers after high school working at a fruit stand where we bought vegetables from local farmers and then sold them to the public. Also as a part of my University studies, I interned at an organic/bio-dynamic farm in western Washington for 3 months. I hope to use my experiences woofing to further my knowledge of farming, maybe to one day start a farm of my own.

We are both young, enthusiastic, diligent and we would love the chance to work on your farm. We both are well traveled, flexible and open to simpler lifestyles, and speak functional Spanish.

Ideally we would like to begin working in late December or early
January but our time range is flexible.

Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Thank you!

Andrew Fontana
