How to get started
Share daily life with farmers and growers
WWOOFing provides you with a way to learn about organic food, agriculture, and sustainable ways of living. You will also have the opportunity to meet local people, make friends and create new connections with the land.
WWOOFers spend their days living with the host family and learning about agro-ecological and sustainable farming methods through first-hand experience, with no money exchanged between hosts and WWOOFers.
WWOOF is organized on a national basis, so first choose your destination and then sign up with that WWOOF group.
