    Description

    In Arandas Jalisco Mexico (tequila country). I have a modest home for my guests and I have an orchard with 300 avocado trees and 700 lime trees.
    We spend our days trimming the trees. Watering the trees and removing unwanted plants from under the trees.

    If you volunteer with us you can look forward to a pleasant stay in a laid back town. We occasionally Cook pizzas in our wood fired oven. We are 2 hours from Guadalajara where we have a home a few blocks from one of the hippest places to visit(Avenida Chapultepec) we go to Guadalajara once every two months and you are welcome to join us.

    We are a family of three. I am José, my wife Gloria and my year 9 old son Jorge and my 10yo girl fernanda

    We welcome individuals or families. Jorge would like a little American kid to play with and practice his English.
