What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in the United Kingdom

WWOOF UK is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in the United Kingdom and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

This was my first time WWOOFing, and I had such a great time at Laura and Euan’s farm. I mostly helped with the daily work around the animals – the dogs and horses – but there was also time and space to do things on my own initiative and interests, like tanning a sheepskin. Laura has such an open-minded and motivating energy toward ideas and projects, and she really knows her way around animals. I’ve learned so much! Watching her work her dogs with the sheep is truly impressive. And I also got to hear Euan play the bagpipes — very cool! I definitely wanna come back :)

My stay at [Host] was absolutely lovely. I stayed for a week in November and the main wwoofing activities were preparing and pressing apples & pears, bottling the juice, and labelling bottles. Jeremy and Clare were very kind and inclusive hosts who bought me along to many local events and involved me in their social lives; I felt very welcome at their place. I particularly enjoyed game nights, table tennis, and a visit to the cider museum in Hereford! The accommodation was lovely and we ate most of our meals together- all home cooked and delicious. This wwoof is brilliant for learning about the process of making cider (which I was very keen on), but also to be immersed in community and life in Herefordshire.

I had a wonderful WWOOFING experience at [Host] Judy and Peter were particularly welcoming and our morning tea at 11 and evening meal a highlight each day. The accommodation is very comfortable and homely. The gardens are beautiful and I got plenty of exercise trudging up and down the property. Phil, Ashleigh and Dave were great to work with sharing their knowledge and passion.

[Host] is a gorgeous spot in the Highlands. Anna and Steve are great hosts with lots of experience and knowledge to share. I worked alongside both of them stacking firewood, weeding, mulching, turning compost, transplanting raspberries and generally preparing the place for spring. I also helped pick and sort fleece and tried my hand at spinning and weaving! The shepherd's hut really is something special, a cosy home with amazing views. Anna and Steve are amazing cooks and I was incredibly well looked after. Thank you so much for all your time, food and energy. A wonderful experience!

We had to leave a bit earlier than planned for personal reasons, but Carole was super kind and understanding. The house was full of life and had a really warm, welcoming vibe. I didn’t manage to do much, but I helped with a bit of garden tidying. The WWOOFer room was lovely — cosy and peaceful, with a beautiful sunrise view. Thanks so much, Carole — we really appreciated the time we had there!

I have spent 3 weeks in this lovely place. The people, the house, and the garden are wonderful. The food provided is very healthy and varied. The schedule is great, and free time is often allowed. Humphrey and Sheena are open-minded, very flexible at all times, and helpful with any needs. Even with my terrible level of English, they always took the time to make sure I understood and was understood as well. I wish I could have stayed longer — thank you very much for everything.

I really enjoyed my stay at greenslade farm! Sacha and Jac were really nice and made me feel really welcome. There was always loads of work to do like doing the animals, working in the garden, helping in the barn, etc… I would definitely recommend a stay at greenslade farm!

Meike has a wealth of experience about all things to do with gardening and permaculture to share, and I learned a lot in a short time of working with her. She saw to all my needs (accommodation, food etc) well. This place has a good history behind it, as you will know when you get here. Thanks very much Meike!

My first ever Wwoofing trip! I feel very lucky that it was at this wonderful place in Wales, being looked after and taught by Janie who is the most incredible human! Even in the short amount of time I was there (Just 10 days!) It really felt at home! The caravan is very nice and cosy with the wood burning stove and everything you could need, as well as being very private after a days work for a nice chill. It was so wonderful being in the great outdoors everyday, come rain or shine (or even Snow!). Janie was very caring, chatty and understanding of my needs (as a Neurodiverse human and a first time wwoofer!) and often made delicious fresh salads from her vegetable garden for lunch with fresh eggs each day. The family dinners in the big house were absolutely scrumpcious! and the company was a lot of fun, with good conversation, card games and even surprise birthday cards from the boys and homemade cake! even though we'd only met 2 days before! It was all very sweet. The work was varied from weeding, woodchipping the garden paths, cutting back a fair amount of brambles, cutting & planting willow, collecting manure from the local stables & feeding the strawberries with it, then putting them to bed with straw before the first frost! & harvesting the Yacon roots just in time! It really was an experience I will never forget and I am ever so grateful to them all for trusting people like me (with almost no experience of farming) to support their little piece of Welsh paradise!

Stayed one month The perfect wwoofing experience. Varied physical work with picturesque views and sometimes deer in background. All tasks felt impactful and at the end of every day relaxing by the fire in nice company I would get this satisfying feeling "we did something today, today was a good day" Jill is very involved in the project and a perfect host. Accomodation- I would say luxurious Food- for a simple meat and potatoes guy like me this was a quiet an experience almost every day trying something new. Good experience. Mostly vegetarian since other wwoofers ware veggies. Thank You for hosting me. Would love to see the progress of the project in future. Best of luck to Jill and all the wwoofers I've met there.
