My experience with David Hunter at Kismet Gardens was wonderful. David included me in every activity related to his native plant project and with farmers markets and with preparations for the fall school term at the school where he teaches and with his special conservation project of building a snowshoe hare brush pile. I especially appreciated David's inclusion of me in the agreed upon two meals a day where he planned the menus around organic foods that I could eat and then prepared very good meals. He paid to allow me to experience a hand cranked sewing machine at two friends' shop. I made a large cotton cloth shopping bag. David introduced me to neighbors, colleagues at farmers markets and at school and I was enabled to help in various ways to meet various needs. My accommodations were great, a RV/trailer with a large refrigerator with freezer and an inside bathroom. I liked the outside shower feature of the RV. I was nice to breath air 24 hours a day that was not compromised by herbicide drift! I wish other woofers, who stay at Kismet Gardens, similar satisfactory experiences that I had. My best to David, Paul Lehmann, Fayette, Missouri

Really grateful for having his as my first wwoofing experience! My hosts were generous with their knowledge, the accommodations were spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed eating lots of veggies I picked on the farm, as well as having everything I needed to cook my own meals provided. Tasks/learning experiences during my 3 week July/August stay included: alpaca/llama/ chicken/ rooster/ cat care and feeding, harvesting, weeding, mucking stalls, baking, canning, candy making and learning to drive the tractor. My stay included working the Mt. Mitchel craft fair (first Friday/Saturday each August) and I was advised early on that it would be 'intense', which was accurate! Fair week hours were much longer than my previous ones. Prepping for and working the fair was both exhausting and enjoyable. Wonderful stay.

WWOFFing at the Bodhi was a magical experience to say the least. The emphasis on community building, work flexibility, and self-care were integral to the daily happenings at the Center. From weeding in the gardens, to watering the various plants, to taking care of the grounds, to helping with meals-- there was basically a guarantee of finding a task that intrigued you and was within your capacity to complete during the working hours. And outside working hours, spiritual and personal growth were cultivated through growing relationships with other members of the community and enjoying the natural beauty of the Bodhi, Jemez Springs, and the greater New Mexico area. If you are looking for a place to learn about gardening, Buddhism, or yourself-- the Bodhi is the place for you. Thank you to the wonderful team of people I met here, our camaraderie is something I will cherish for a long time.

We had a wonderful time woofing at Angela’s organic. We loved eating the fresh grapes and vegetables straight from the garden everything tasted so fresh. We helped out with weeding and enjoyed meeting their family. Wishing them all the very best on their move and for their mission work ahead!

While my time at Curly Creek was short, it was one of the most magical and wonderful weeks of my life. Pete is a kind and thoughtful host. He made me and my fellow first-time WWOOFer feel very comfortable and safe. The yurt is super cozy and if you have the opportunity, a future WWOOFer should absolutely get creative in the kitchen (moose shakshouka!?) We spent most of our farm time harvesting raspberries and weeding, but we also had plenty of time to explore the area (think mountain lakes, waterfalls, more lakes!) My time with Pete was truly wonderful and filled with laughter, music (country roads…), poetry (ask Pete to recite some poems!), and art! Could not recommend a stay with Pete more!
