Hola,

I’d love to help your farm in any way I can. I’ll be in Mexico from November on. I have experience in organic farming with planting, weeding, composting, digging out beds, irrigating and harvesting crops as well as minor construction, bee-keeping and maintenance work. I have also worked in landscaping and road maintenance.
I’m traveling with a Chinese girl who is as excited to learn from the culture of organic farming and Mexico on the whole as I am. This is her page: www.wwoofmexico.org/profile/XiLin?xg_source=profiles_memberList
I'm not sure exactly what you are doing with Final Cut Pro but I do have degrees in Journalism and Communication and have some experience with video editing.
I think hard work is measured in sweat and a well done job the greatest reward and we would love to share in your experience.

Hola!
My name is Paulina, i am 29 years old. For now i live in Berlin/Germany but my roots are polish. I've been born in Warsaw/Poland and i moved to Germany when i was eight years old. My native spoken languages are polish and german. Because of the influence of two different cultures i never felt grounded and completely bounded to one of both countries. That is why i developed already early a strong interest for other countries, cultures and languages.
Already in young years i took part in a four week school exchange program, staying and living with a french family in a small village near Paris. When i was sixteen years old i moved to Texas/USA for a whole year. I've attended high school and stayed with an american family on their ranch located in nature away from the village. During my stay in Texas i had also quite often contact with mexican pupils, their families, living habbits and food, which i liked a lot. During my fine art studies i also lived in Krakow/Poland and studied at the acadamy of visual arts for one year. Besides that i travelled a lot through Europe, America and Canada. My trips varried from big modern cities to far away lonely places in nature. In my free time i am in nature doing activties as hiking, wild camping, swimmimg, bycicling and working in the garden. I like simple things, surroundings and living circumstances. I am activly learning about healing plants and herbs. I bring along hands-on experiences in handcrafts, cooking, needlework, gardening and building. I would be very happy to be a helping hand for you and your farm, also make new experiences and keep on learning. I'll arrive in Mexico City in about two weeks and would like to come in november/december and stay for one month or even longer.

Please tell me if that works out with you.
Happy to hear from you soon.

Saludos,
Paulina

Hola, que tal.

He leído acerca de su granja y me parece bastante interesante. Soy mexicano de 23 años, domino Español e Ingles. Podria arrivar a partir del 5 de Enero del 2011. 

Tengo cero experiencia en lo que a Permacultura se refiere, estoy leyendo una introduccion  a la Permacultura de Bill Mollison para irme familiarizando con terminos y demas. Me gustaria mucho poder aportar de mi a su granja. Tengo buen estado físico (siempre he practicado deporte), y no tengo problema para vivir en condiciones modestas. En lo que concierne a duración no se exactamente cuanto tiempo sería, pero aproximadamente 3 meses.

Gracias, espero su pronta respuesta.

Afectuosamente: Ricardo Briseño

Hola! Estoy en Cuernavaca para los proximos meses. Me gustaria mucho trabajar aqui cerca durante el dia. Me gusta la naturaleza, los animales y el trabajo fisico. No tengo mucha experiensia en el trabajo en una granja y tampoco se mucho sobre plantas, pero me gusta mucho aprender nuevas cosas. Trabaje en una granja en Suiza para 3 semanas. Hablo Aleman, Espanol, Ingles y un poco Frances.
Me gustaria quedarme en Cuernavaca y venir durante el dia a su granja. Estaria posible eso? Podrian necesitar mi ayudo? Podria empezar a partir de manana para algunas dias y despues en enero otra vez. Muchos saludos!

¡Hola!

Your eco-village sounds like a wonderful place to be!  The guest house is spectacular. 

I’ve been studying and practicing organic agriculture for three years, experimenting with an urban garden in Chicago and wwoofing at two small farms in Michigan.  I am also skilled in sustainable design & construction, with 20  years of experience in engineering, architecture, design and planning.  In addition to concerns about health, ecology, and the food chain, my love of cooking inspires me to cultivate fresh veggies, herbs and berries near my kitchen, to share with all.

My highest skills are in design build. . . shelters, garden structures, furniture.  So if you need affordable housing or a solar shower for wwoofers, a passive solar addition, chicken tractor… I am especially interested in helping in this regard.  I’ve owned and run a small design/build company for 15 years and have strong business skills… web and graphic design, databases, marketing, cost estimating, project management.  I gladly offer help in these areas if it would be useful for your farm.  Please see my website at www.ehrlum.com for more information and samples of my work. 

I would also love to work with animals, especially horses.  I have little experience with these awesome creatures, but would love to learn more about their way of being.

I plan to depart for Mexico or Central America in January or February; I look forward to hearing from you.

¡Saludos!

Gregg

p.s.  I speak a bit of Spanish and am very interested in becoming fluent.

Hi,

I'm from Holland and I live and work in San Diego, California. I'll be taking three months off from work to travel and learn about organic farming. I'd love to work on your farm for a couple of weeks and learn about organic farming. I'm available from mid-February. I'm a first time wwoofer but no stranger to manual labor. I'll bring a tent, will have transportation (motorcycle), I work hard, I'm eager to learn about farming, and I speak a little basic Spanish but I understand quite a bit (because I speak Italian). Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to hear from you.

Gracias,

Tycho

Hello Tona,

I am planning to travel to Tepoztlan in April and I would love to volunteer with you. Huehuecoyotl seems truly beautiful.

For the past 10 years I have lived in group houses and cared for vegetable gardens communally. I have spent much time working on farms with plants and animals.

I am a massage therapist and an art model. Last year I completed a 72 hr permaculture design course and I am super interested in getting more hands on experience.

I am hoping to volunteer for 2-3 weeks. Would you please let me know your availability.

Thank you kindly,
Damia
