Izamal, Yucatan
Bed and Breakfast with Integrated Organic Gardens
We are looking for a volunteer to help with a number of agro-ecology projects in Izamal, Yucatan, located one hour from Merida and 2 hours from Cancun. Hotel Macan che Bed and Breakfast is located on an approximately 5,000 M2 property. The Hotel sits amid one of the most stunning tropical gardens in Yucatan. We are expanding our gardening areas to include organic produce. We began developing the organic gardens in February 2011 and currently have 4 beds planted with several more under construction and are also integrating food plants into our garden landscape. We are also looking into building with bamboo (gazebos, a replacement for our old palapa, garden shade house, etc.). The volunteer (probably only sufficient work for one volunteer) would have the use of a small one-bedroom house on the hotel property. The house has a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant are included. We are looking for a volunteer who is ready to work hard and able to provide useful skills to the project. The volunteers would work with the owners to develop the garden areas.
We are looking for a volunteer with experience in any of the following areas:
Permaculture design
Organic agriculture
Seed saving
Fruit tree care and grafting
Natural building
Tropical Botany
Medicinal plants
Tropical Polycultures
Edible Mushroom cultivation
Composting
Biodynamics
Natural Pest Control
Hello and thank you for beginning a environmentally friendly business. My background includes community services, composting, medicinal plats and natural building. I have many friends now who are good resources for all these subjects and more. Researching the ways we can live more sustainably is very fullfilling. I stuided arts and music, I love to sing. I am a active woman. I practise yoga, and love biking. I am interested in helping solve problems and plan for future projects. I am especially interested in the medicinal plants, composting, and natural building and have a bank of knowledge to share. I am driven by projects to help protect the natural world, such as keeping water clean, and natural environments safe.
Thank you,
Kirsten Dukes

We are Al and Theresa and Raymond(dog), we have a scheduled road trip from NYC crossing the US and hugging the pacific coast all the way down to Chile, and we are to depart on the first week of october.
We are also looking to volunteer in every country we go through, we could commit to 2 to 3 weeks, maybe more depending on how many other farms we contact in Mexico.
We both have experience working in gardens, building chicken coops, greenhouses, composting, and are looking to learn more about permaculture, horticulture and sustainable living.
Please let us know if you are able to host us, so we can make proper arrangements.
Peace,
Al & Theresa
Hola,
My boyfriend and I are looking to WWOOF in mexico during the middle of October and we feel that we have something to offer your farm. We are very hard working and picked your farm because the description seem to fit our interests. Please let us know if we can make an arrangement.
Cheers,
Liz & Hank
Hola!
I will be WWOOFing Mexico from now till June. Not that I have much experience in any of the areas you listed, but I'm willing to stay in one place for months so I'd have time to learn stuff and get good at it.. I worked in fruit trees and I can build things as I'm a cabinet maker. So please let me know if you'd like my help and when could that be.
Muchas gracias,
Mimi :)

Hi! Do you have an opening for a volunteer? I'm 23 and can work hard! I'd like to stay until mid May, ideally. I am in New Orleans now, and would like to make my way down in the next few weeks. I have experience in: Organic agriculture, Seed saving, Fruit tree care and grafting, Tropical Botany, Medicinal plants, Edible Mushroom cultivation, Composting, and Natural Pest Control. As well as many other skills: I breed exotic reptiles and amphibians, I blow glass, I know how to set up museum-like exhibits with waterfalls etc., I know about crystal and gemstone healing -a little-, and other stuff too! As far as the other subjects you mentioned, they are right up my alley and I want to learn all I can about them. Please contact me so I can tell you more about myself and so I can ask you some questions! Thanks so much! -Z

Hi there! My partner and I are travelling from Ontario, Canada, currently staying in Puerto Vallarta. We are booking a flight to Merida in the next few days and are making plans to see the Yucatan. Being keen to learn organic gardening and natural building techniques and budget travelling we signed up for WWOOF Mexico. If you have any openings we will be in the area around the 17th and open to stay for a while. Looking forward to hearing from you!!
Michelle and Bohdan
