About WWOOF:

​

"Want to live and learn on organic farms worldwide? Want to share your life with other like-minded people?

 

WWOOF is a worldwide movement linking volunteers with organic farmers and growers to promote cultural and educational experiences based on trust and non-monetary exchange, thereby helping to build a sustainable, global community.

 

As a volunteer, or WWOOFer as we call them, you will live alongside your host helping with daily tasks and experiencing life as a farmer.

 

As a host farm you will open your home to receive visitors from your own country or abroad who want to connect with the land and support the organic movement."

​

WWOOFers should have the following:

 

• Interest in experiencing work on an organic vegetable operation

• Interest in the local, organic food movement and/or food-related issues

• Ability to work well with a team, a good attitude, communication and organizational skills, as well as be resourceful, self-motivated, and hard-working.

• Access to transportation
