WWOOF Mexico Print E-mail

WWOOF Mexico was formed in 2004 to spread the concept of organic farming, permaculture and biodynamics in Mexico through practical learning. By WWOOFing in Mexico, WWOOFers get an opportunity to learn daily organic farming activities such as harvesting, preparing soil for planting, milking, cleaning pens, digging trenches, and maintaining fences.

The membership fee for joining WWOOF Mexico is USD 20. Please note that you can pay the fees only through credit card or paypal. WWOOF Mexico does not accept cash or checks. There is no age limit for becoming a member of WWOOF Mexico; however, many hosts do not accept children. The membership fee is applicable for children as well.

WWOOF Mexico has a joint membership program with WWOOF Costa Rica. WWOOFers seeking membership to both the organizations can do so at a cost of USD 28 as against USD 35, if done separately.

WWOOF Mexico, like all other WWOOF organizations, publishes a list of hosts. You can download the host list when you become a member. This list acts as a proof of the membership and WWOOFers have to show this book to the host on their arrival.

WWOOF is a concept based on mutual trust between the WWOOFers, hosts and WWOOF organizations and any violation of this trust should be strictly dealt with. WWOOF Mexico is, therefore rightly, very particular about sharing of host list. If a non-member is found contacting hosts without a valid membership to WWOOF Mexico, the organization bans such people from becoming its members in future.

WWOOF Mexico has not made it mandatory for WWOOFers to procure a travel insurance for WWOOFing. However, it recommends purchasing one. Further, since organic farming involves physical labor, some hosts may ask for proof of an insurance.

To contact WWOOF Mexico, fill the feedback form on its website. The organization will get back to you at the earliest.

Would like to become a member of WWOOF Mexico. Am a 42 year old single male, living in Ireland but originally
from the UK. Had a few years experience working on farms, arable and mixed.

Hard working, pleasant, good
sense of humour, musician.

Looking to come over to Mexico September 2008 for up to six months.

Re:
travel insurance. Is it possible to get insurance once I am over or is it better to purchase it before coming
out?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Gracias!

Vincent
