WWOOF - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

WWOOF Around the World!

WWOOF is a world wide network of organizations linking volunteers with organic farmers, and helping people share more sustainable ways of living. In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles.

Here's how it works...

There are many WWOOF organizations around the world, but there is no single WWOOF membership that covers all countries.

Some countries have their own national WWOOF organizations.

If you want to WWOOF in any of these countries, you must contact and subscribe to the WWOOF organization in that country. For each country you want to visit, you will pay a small fee to that national organization. Here's a list of the national organizations: http://www.wwoof.org/natorgs.asp

Other countries are listed by WWOOF Independents, if they do not have national WWOOF organizations. With this membership you can WWOOF in any of the 50+ countries on the list.

Our Jobs

As a guest in a WWOOF farm your learning experience is based on you participating in the daily chores of running the farm. In doing so, you can learn a variety of techniques employed by member farms including organic farming, Permaculture and Biodynamics. In addition to learning about organic farming, you can also learn about the local ecology and culture while getting to meet fun and interesting people.

Your daily chores at WWOOF farms may include harvesting, preparing soil for planting, milking, cleaning pens, digging trenches, maintaining fences and such; and generally involve about 5 to 7 hours per day, 5 to 6 days per week. Each farm has its own chores, rules and schedules.
