Hey Ryan, thanks for your posting. I would like to learn more about your WWOOFing experience at Baillot. Let me know how I can email you?

@Luke I’ll get back to you when I’m back from my Catalunya trip this weekend. We’ll try to hook you up. Most wooffers are looking for a longish commitment though so we’ll need to talk about dates. I’m not sure if you want a couple weeks or a few days. We’ll see!

Ryan,

Another great video!

After subscribing to WWOOF France in January, my girlfriend and I have not had any luck finding a host for this July and August, and in most cases, we are not getting replies to our e-mails.

I assume that our timing is bad – July and August likely being the months with the greatest demand for WOOFing hosts… Instead, we are hoping to find work while travelling through the region in May and June.

We have an apartment rented in Corbieres for the week of June 9-16, with a couple of days on either side to explore surrounding areas. Perhaps I will take you up on your offer to get in contact with wineries not yet in the WWOOFing system, or maybe even stop by your winery?

Keep up the good work!

Luke

Thanks for your support, Bernard! We will see if he’s in a good mood once he mops up in the elections this week

Ryan
You need to speak to the Sud de France people and Mr Freche to get some funding to help you run the website.
This is the best value publicity they can for the money.
I think you’re doing a great job for the region and surely someone needs recognise this.
