Hi,

 

I have read about your project and would love to work on it.  Im really interested in learning about sustainability, farming, and better ways of living. I have experience gardening, and cant wait to work on a farm.  I am particularly interested in how you are incorporating sustainable practices into a bed and breakfast bussiness.  I have never wwoofed or worked on a farm before but I am very hardworking and motivated to get involved.   I am in Cancun at the moment, about to start wwoofing near Merida next week.


Do you have any space and work for me from mid may?  I would like to stay for 2 weeks, but if longer or shorter works best for you that is fine.


 

I look forward to hearing from you, thanks,

Nasreen

My friend and I are embarking on a Central American WWOOFing tour this September, October, and November and we are planning to be in Cancun by the end of October for a month or so. We have had to cut a lot of great farms from our list because they expect a long term stay from WWOOFers. Our question to you is what you expect from WWOOFers in regards to length of stay and number of volunteer hours.  

We send you our Northern regards!

Hello Robyn and Taylor,

We expect a minimum commitment of 1 week. Anything less really doesn't make sense for us.

Thanks for the Northern regards.

Hello Alfred,
This sounds great, is there a possibility of both us us being able to come around the 21st of November? Anything we'll need to bring? Directions to the farm?

Thank you!
Robyn and Taylor

Hello Robyn and Taylor,

I'll be expecting you on the 21st of November. I assume you'll be here one week, leaving the following Monday (28th of November)?

Just have work clothes. We have all the gardening tools you'll need. You can find directions on our web site (www.macanche.com) or write me and tell me where you are coming from and I can give you specific directions.

Also, please write me at my personal email arordame@gmail.com as I find it difficult to track messages within the WWOOF site. And, if you are not coming for any reason, please let me know. My last two WWOOFers did not show and I had turned away those dates for other people.

Hello Alfred!

We are planning a WWOOFing adventure for January 2012 and would like to commit the whole month to the perfect project.  We are hard working and enthusiastic women with strong backs and infectious laughter.  We both have experience in organic gardening and would love the opportunity to be involved in the gorgeous gardens of Macan Che.  Both of us speak intermediate Spanish, as well.

Please contact us if you have a need for help in January so we can discontinue our search and make a commitment to you. We will be flying into Cancun on January 1st.

Thank you for your consideration,

Ashley and Beth

Hello,

My name is Joel and I am planning on traveling in Mexico beginning in October. I am very interested in working on your farm although I have limited experience with organic farming I do have basic knowledge of carpentry and I am a quick learner and a hard worker. I would very much like to work on your farm because of you location in Mexico and what seems to be and neat project. I would be interested in working on your farm in the middle to end of October,  but I am curious as to the length of the visitation required on your farm.

Thank you

Joel

Hi Joel,

We'd love to have you out here in October, thanks for your interest. We like to have WWOOFers here for at least a week as it takes a day to get going. We follow the basic WWOOF recommendation of 5 hours per day and we provide breakfast and dinner. Please write me back at my personal email (arordame@gmail.com) as I tend to loose track of the threads in the WWOOF system. We look forward to seeing you here at Macan ché!

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
