SEEKING ORGANIC FARMS FOR INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE FARMERS




 -----------------BRING THE WORLD TO YOUR DOOR----------------------
>
MESA, a non-profit, USIA-designated international exchange organization, is now interviewing
U.S. sustainable/organic growers, ag. extension agents and CSAs to host young international
farmers seeking live/work positions on your farm/facility for one full year (6 months placements
are available too). MESA's Russian, Lithuanian, Honduran and Guatemalan candidates are
agriculturally skilled and want to improve their knowledge in sustainable practices, thus
promoting eco-farming around the world.
>
We are seeking qualified hosts in the Western region of the U.S., but we'll welcome inquiries
>from  anywhere in the U.S. Host farms provide room, board and a $675/month program fee (or
$800/month w/room only). The program fee enables MESA to provide our international farmers
with $300/month stipends, health insurance, educational seminars, J-1 visas, domestic travel
and administrative support. Host farms have no payroll taxes or legal documentation concerns---
plus a very reliable and enthusiastic individual working full-time on the farm!

We have just 3-4 more openings left for the 1996 program, and we must secure placements for
these international farmers ASAP!  If you would like to receive specific information about any of
our applicants, please email a brief introduction with your full address and telephone #, or
contact:
