Be a WWOOFer
What is a WWOOFer? Someone visiting a WWOOF host (organic farmer/grower) to lend a hand to learn about sustainable agriculture.
Immerse yourself in local culture sharing in family, community, and tourist activities while receiving free meals and accommodation.
Gain practical knowledge in biological farming and sustainable living on farms, ranches, homesteads, family gardens, orchards, vineyards, urban gardens, co-operatives, and others - all sharing the WWOOF philosophy.
Please keep in mind that WWOOF is not paid work; hosts do not offer monetary compensation.
We do not make arrangements for you, instead you will make contact with the hosts yourself. Also, you are responsible for obtaining your visa and paying for your own transportation & personal expenses.
Be a WWOOF host
What is a WWOOF host? A farmer or grower wishing to host WWOOFers and teach them about sustainable agriculture.
WWOOF UK publishes a host listing that lists organic (certification not required) farms and gardens across the country.
Any organic farm, community or garden project in the UK that would like to host visitors can participate in the WWOOF exchange.
Generally, WWOOFers spend half a day on projects and receive educational opportunities and room and board from their hosts.
Hosts determine their own criteria for accepting WWOOFers and describe their property, location, projects, and more in their host profile.
WWOOFers look for a compatible host, and contact hosts to discuss arrangements, opportunities, and responsibilities before arrival.
