WorldWide Opportunities on Organic Farms - (WWOOF)

WWOOF is an exchange - In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles. WWOOF organisations link people who want to volunteer on organic farms or smallholdings with people who are looking for volunteer help.

Mission:

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) is a worldwide movement to link visitors with organic farmers, promote a cultural and educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming and sustainability practices.

The founding idea of WWOOF…

is to facilitate exchanges around sustainable living and organic agriculture in pursuit of living in harmony with nature. WWOOF provides a way for people to learn about organic food, farming, and culture. In doing so it brings together people who share similar values and philosophies. WWOOF aims to provide helping hands to its hosts and at the same time allows visitors to learn what it means to grow one’s own food sustainably.

WWOOF’s goal:

• is to provide individuals from all around the world the opportunity to
• gain practical skills in organic farming and gardening
• experience rural living while sharing in the everyday life of your host
• further the organic and sustainability movement
• participate in a cultural exchange
