What it does
WWOOF connects visitors with organic farmers for an educational and cultural exchange. Visitors participate in daily farm life and receive meals and accommodation, with no money exchanged between the host and visitor for that arrangement.
Begin by selecting the country on the WWOOF map. National organisations run local membership arrangements, while WWOOF Independents covers places without a national organisation. The international map lists members of the Federation of WWOOF Organisations, giving you a route to the appropriate group.
Then investigate the hosts and the everyday participation expected. This is a learning exchange based around farm life, so the routine is central to the visit. Meals and accommodation belong to the exchange described by WWOOF; they do not establish that membership, travel or every other expense is free. Discuss the particular stay with the host and use the selected organisation’s own joining information before making a plan around it.
