Hello! My partner and I have been life long wannabe earth savers, and six years ago we took the plunge quit our jobs and became full time hippies. Travelling all around North America we have gotten to practice living off the land and we have been putting our permaculture training to the test.

This has led us to understanding we need to live in a Climate that has year round growing.  We applied for our Temporary Residency for Mexico and are in the finishing process.

We are pretty heavy fruit eaters and love helping out with everything permaculture related.

Our skills are strongest in food forestry and living systems as well as natural building.

If you are or know anyone in Mexico with lot of fruit and a place to camp, we would gladly trade for our labor.

We are very low maintenance simple couple looking for land in Mexico as it is our first time we would love some allies and also learn about the local growing.

Thanks for your time

How's your Spanish?
There are a couple of very active Permacultura en Mexico groups if you do the Facebook thing.

If you don't do the Facebook thing this site might be of help:  https://ecoaldeas-mexico.com/

If you don't speak Spanish, make learning Spanish your job, meaning dedicate 20+ hours a week to it.

If you search Youtube with "Mitla, Oaxaca Permaculture", there is a 2 part tour of a permaculture farm just outside the city of Oaxaca. I am not associated with them in any way. I just watched the videos.  You might be able to get more info through the videographer.  Good luck.
