After recently checking in with one of my top host choices: Lyman Kona Coffee Farms, I evidently made the first cut out of all the applicants and was sent a "Parameter Statement". It includes everything I need to know about working on the farm (ex: duties, hours, rules, what to pack) and a specific set of questions to answer and send back in.
I find it interesting that several times in my readings I came across no persons under 19 accepted even though the owner/operator of the farm knows that I only just turned 18 and still sent me the statement. In fact the average age of "wwoofers" on the farm ranges from 20-25 years old. This will definitely set me apart from the other applicants and I'll have to step up my game and really explain why I am fit for the job even though I will just be graduating from high school.
I'm going to be looking over this packet quite thoroughly this week and will send in my application and exact window of availability hopefully by next Monday. Wish me luck, y'all!
