What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
lived and worked in a self-sufficient community, and took part in a "transition training" that teaches permaculture principles, started to grow my own vegetables
What are your reasons for joining WWOOF Mexico?
Learning about sustainable living and agriculture, Getting to know Mexico better, Other
What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?
My girlfriend and I will travel around mexico from November til February. We want to get to know this beautiful country, learn spanish and like to work in the nature.
Welcome,
In January We'll be doing mostly bio-construction and land work getting ready for spring.
We will know for sure in Mid-November how many volunteers we need.
However we always have space for a couple of days, so you can make plans to stay here at least some days if we are full for January.
Be happy

Yes, we can reserve a space for you and Irmela for the beginning of January. You can stay a few days, and then see if it is the environment that suits you at the moment.
More details about the work:
Some of the work here is hard manual work (like painting or moving large items) and some work is simple (like feeding the dogs or watering plants). Some of the work is garden related (creating a path around the Maguey trees, planting avocado trees, etc), some of the work is Bed and Breakfast related (helping with cooking and cleaning) and some of the work is renovating the hacienda (adding doors and windows, building roof, etc). Some days have a clear schedule (especially when there are guests) and some days are very "Montessori" (you decide what you would like to do today!). The workweek is about 30 hours, more or less.
Like the full description on Helpx and the comment left by a volunteer says, this is a relaxed place. We don't drink or smoke. We are mostly vegetarian. We don't party. This is a great place to stay if you like quiet environment to read and meditate, if you like the sound of nature as opposed to the sound of busy cities, if you enjoy time working independently without supervision, and if you don't need to get drunk to enjoy life.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Please send us an email at the beginning of January to confirm that you are both coming. We can send you then the directions to the hacienda from Mexico airport (about 2 hours bus away) or from Jalapa.
