Farm in Valle de Bravo, Mexico

Comment by antonio vitali on September 28, 2010 at 10:27am

Hi,
my name is Antonio Vitali, I am Italian and I am 39. I am interested in working in organic farming to learn about environmentally-friendly agricultural techniques. I have had some experience as a WWOOFER in Italy and France. I am also pretty good as a cook and I am specialized in ayurvedic massage. I am available for at least two weeks and possible more according to reciprocal feeling. I am open to start from October 10.th. I have no personal working insurence but only WWOOFER membership. I can speak a little Spanish (I can make myself understood), and I can also speak French and Italian.
I would like to know whether my proposal can interest you and if so, I would be glad if you could send me full information about your working conditions (working times per day and week)

Best regards,

Antonio

Hello!
I’m travelling with a friend of mine (Joseph, 21year old fella from Montreal.) on the west coast of Canada right now and its getting cold! We now want to head south, and Mexico is definitely on our way.
Because organic farming and sustainable agriculture is something important to us and travelling is what we do, woofing is really appealing for us.
We’ve been working here and there as farm hand and fruit picker in Canada, and would love to enjoy the experience of working on an organic farm in Mexico. I’ve learned Spanish on a 3-month trip in Peru, and I think I could improve it while staying in Mexico.

We would love to work, help and have fun at your farm, and are ready to leave as soon as possible and are ready to stay from one week to a month. If you need respectful, curious and happy woofers, we will be waiting for some new from you!

Looking forward for a hot and joyful winter, we wish you happy days.
Noemie and Joseph.

Hi, my name is Lucas, I am 22 years old and I am from Berlin - Germany, but now Im living in Mexico with my girlfriend from Norway.. We have been almost one year in Mexico travelling around, and the last three months we have been living in Chetumal - Quintana Roo. My girlfriend speaks spanish fluently and I am still learning. We would really like to work on your farm, even though we dont have any experience with organic farming, we are very eager to learn and we enjoy everything which has to do with animals or nature. We are openinded, hardworking and ready to meet a challenge.

I was working for an airline-company called Air Berlin for six years before I got sick of it, so I quit and started travelling - first in Europe, then I flew to New York and travelled down to Mexico. I met my girlfriend in Tulum, and she has already travelled for 1,5 years in South America, the Caribbean and Central America, so after this we started travelling together.. Her name is Andrea, she is 21 years old and she is from a little town one hour from the capital of Norway. We both like adventures, and most of the time we just travel without working, so now we are really motivated to work on your farm!

The timeperiod that we would like to work is from mid march or april (if you have space) and up to three months - all depending on how much we are needed. We really hope that you will consider us for your farm, and we are looking forward to hearing from you..

Kind regards - Lucas Hofmann

Hola !

First, let me express to you all my respect !
We need people like you, who bring new point of views and alternative ways of living, which are socially responsible and sustainable. But we also need those information and views to be share and promoted !

Let me introduce myself : my name is Maxime, I come from France, but I consider myself more as a citizen of the world !
Passionate in foreign culture, traveling and art, I never miss a chance to live new experiences and learn everyday from them.

I studied International Trade in a way to integrate a fair trade studies program next year. This unique program in France, was created to train actors of the fair trade movement. But before integrating such a program, I decided to increase my knowledge about organic agriculture and acting in a concrete way.
WWOOF appeared like an answer to this need !

Now that you know a little bit more about myself and my aims, I am asking you if you want me to be part of your program ?

Concerning my experience in organic agriculture : I must admit that except my little organic vegetable garden, I m a real novice !
I have several experience of work in farms, as I m coming from a agricultural region call Brittany (France). I must add that I m hardworking, interested, and very motivated ! I am free to join you during the month of February, to help you in your labor.

I really wish that you will accept my help ! And that you will offer me the chance to know you better, to exchange as much as we can !

Maybe thanks to you, I would feel like to put my shoulders to the wheel ...

 hoping to see you soon,

pace.

Maxime.  ----> maxime.guennoc@gmail.com

Hola,

 

My name is Kyla White, I'm an 20 year old traveling throughout Mexico from the end of february to late may. I am from british columbia, canada. I have only a little experience in gardening and do not speak Spanish very well but that is the reason I am traveling: to learn. I would be really interested in working on your farm. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

 

Gracias

Kyla

Buenos días,
Me llamo Adele y vivo en Francia, en Tolosa.
Es la primera vez que hago una demanda para hacer el woofing, pero soy muy voluntaria, cuidadosa de aportar mi contribución a su granja. Por otro lado, deseo perfeccionar mi español lejos de Europa, es por eso que escogí más bien América latina. ¿ Te interesan para recibirme?

Adele

Well there is no description of your project, but I went to Valle de Bravo to see the monarch butterflies and I saw the country side there with amazing farms so I am interested in the possibility of working there.  Please see my little resume below and let me know if you have the need for me.  Thanks :)

Me llamo Chad y tengo 25 años.  Este es MUY importante:  YA ESTOY EN CUIDAD de MÉXICO y estaré hasta 28 de Junio.  Yo no tengo experiencia trabajando en granjas pero hay más o menos 3 meses disponible que puedes enseñarme y puedo aprender y ser un buen contribución a su proyecto.  Por favor dame una oportunidad.

He vivido en Alaska hace 16 años y estudié ingenieriá civil como mi carrera.  Me gusta mucho estar afuera en la tierra y me encanta mucho cosas naturaleza y puro.  Yo sè que soy un buen hombre con un corazòn y una menta lleno de amor, confianza, y buena onda.  A mi la màs importanta cosa es que soy contento, porque tengo que ser contento primero, antes de puedo hago otros sentir contento tambièn.

I am really modest so I don't mind working on the really awesome projects or doing the simple tasks which are equally important.  I can work alone or in groups.

I want to re-emphasize that I AM ALREADY IN MEXICO CITY!

Estimada señorita, estimado señor,

 

Tenemos información del sitio que nos interesó en particular:

 

Somos dos franceses, ingenieros en Agronomía Tropical, acabando nuestra tesis. Estamos viajando en México por 2 o 3 meses hasta América del Sur y pasemos 4 meses en California. Este viajo es para entender mas las problemáticas ambientales y sociales de la situación en su país, así que tener mas practicas como talleres concretas relacionados a una visión social y sustentable de la tierra. Es por eso que estamos buscando trabajo, descubrir y aprender otra maniera de vivir gracias a Wwoofing y con otros tipos de organizaciones.

 

Para conocernos:

Entonces estamos enfocados en temas como las reformas agrarias del país, la situación de los pequeños productores, las problemáticas de la tierra (erosión, fertilidad), el acceso a los servicios del Estado (títulos de propiedad, acceso al agua, a los créditos, etc.). Estamos interesados en trabajar y dar nuestro tiempo a ustedes para aprender más lo que es la agricultura orgánica, sustentable, y alternativas de todas las maneras (biodinámica, permacultura, abono orgánico, vermífuga, etc.). También crear talleres en grupo que sensibilicen al manteniendo sustentable, trabajar en una finca orgánica, educador en eco-aldeas, así que con comunidades, asociaciones, cooperativas.

 

Lo que están haciendo nos interesa mucho, parece que comparten las mismas ideas que nosotros: luchar por una visión alternativa de la agricultura convencional, sensibilizar a la gente en una forma más limpia de la tierra con respecto a los humanos y asuntos ambientales. Esas son cosas importantes para nosotros que requieren tiempo y energía diaria. Reunir a la gente para volverse más fuerte, tener un mejor acceso a los productos para permitir una mejor autonomía; siguiendo una visión de desarrollo que compartimos. Lo que debería ser un ejemplo de un buen vivir para todos.

 

Será un placer encontrarlos, conversar de estos temas y trabajar un tiempo juntos si es posible, para así conocer y compartir nuestras experiencias y conocimientos de la vida. Este es un correo para empezar a tener contacto con ustedes: También para saber si podrán recibirnos para una posible colaboración. Así también si tienen contactos, amigos suyos, o cualquier otra ayuda que nos permitan realizar nuestro proyecto en su país, eso sería realmente perfecto y amable de su parte.

 

Cualquier pregunta, será con gusto respondida. We have a good level in English also because of last 4 months in California.

 

Hasta pronto, esperamos.

 

Por una obra social, una lucha humana, un respeto de la tierra, muchas gracias por lo que hacen.

 

Romain Javaux & Yohann Aiglehoux.
