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.

I cannot thank them enough for everything they gave me. Handley Farm was always lively, with many volunteers coming and going, and there was such a warm, vibrant atmosphere. Even though it was my first time caring for goats, they patiently and kindly taught me everything, always with encouragement and a smile. They treated me as if I were a member of their family, and I truly felt at home there! Their meal is alway awesome as well! Because the farm is highly diversified, my days were also incredibly fulfilling from the perspective of learning about farm management. I was fortunate to see and experience so many different aspects of the farm, including the care farm, the farm restaurant, and the large Christmas carol event. Being able to witness how all of these elements came together was a rare and valuable experience. I am deeply grateful to Tony and Sue for giving me so many opportunities to learn, grow, and experience life on their farm. This was not just a place to work—it was a place where I felt belonging, purpose, and genuine warmth.

I spent 11 days in December last year with Michele and Chris, and I feel very lucky that this was my first wwoofing experience. My tasks involved looking after the ducks and doing chores in the garden such as replanting and weeding, which were grounding and fulfilling. Since Michele and Chris were away for Christmas, my fellow volunteer and I did house sitting for about 3 days and looked after their lovely cat Tofu (We found Christmas gifts for us too:)) There were many happy moments, and I especially appreciated it when Chris took me on a bike ride in the forest, a ride to the beach as well as the farmers' market. I felt also spoiled with Michele's pumpkin pie and apple juice plus some nice homemade wine. All in all, it was a very unforgettable experience. I appreciate their hospitality and the way farm newbies are welcomed. Wishing them all the best!

I spent a wonderful week helping on Anns farm. Ann has done a remarkable job running a farm whilst allowing nature to flourish. This secluded spot deep in the Monmouthshire countryside is a haven for wildlife, inparticular Anns management of the wild flower hay meadows. Thank you for the good company, great meals and sharing of knowledge. Hopefully, future woofers will bring their skills and enthusiasm to keep the magic going. I look forward to helping on the hay. Best wishes to you Ann.

I had a wonderful six weeks on the dairy farm. Tim and Suzy made me feel welcome and at home from the very beginning. It was also great fun working in a team with other WWOOFers every day. I worked four days a week and then had three days off. The tasks included milking, lots of fencing, and everything else that needs to be done to keep a dairy farm running. My first WWOOF experience couldn’t have been better!

Here comes my slightly belated review (please excuse my tardiness, Nat and Julia): I started my woofing journey at Nat & Julia's croft in October last year, and as you can imagine, I was pretty excited but nervous. However, since I started living and working on Croft 22, I felt instantly welcomed, and my sorrows were unnecessary. Such warm and welcoming hosts. I loved it! They are respecting and loving their animals so fiercely and are handling them with great care. Of course the change to a different lifestyle can be quite unusual to begin with (coming from a city girl). The composting loo takes some getting used to. But generally I adapted to living on the croft quickly. Their dedication to installing a sustainable and resource-saving life on the Outer Hebrides is very inspiring. With delicious food and an extraordinary landscape awaiting you, I would recommend everyone to go woofing on Great Bernera. I miss you guys and Åse (cutest dog worldwide) and would love to return this summer!!

Lisa and Colin are great hosts. I spent a week at their place with another wwoofer. We did various task as taking care of the animals and the garden, doing some construction and cutting some wood. The cooking was delicious and the meals was great moments, sharing about our personal experiences and points of view. The accommodation in small personal pods is very comfortable and cosy. The dog Wallace is very friendly. I definitely recommend spending some time at Lisa and Colin's to help them in their smallholding.

We spent Christmas and new years eve together and I felt like being part of a loving family. I loved the animals, the work and everyday life. All the people are touching, patient, friendly, humorous and deep souls. The time meant much to me. Thank you!

I spent 14 wonderful days with Naomi and Paul at their lovely farm. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean, she's a great cook, and the work was reasonable and easy. The experience was enhanced by going with Paul to visit several castles in the surrounding area. We had interesting conversations, perfect for learning English, and we played board games after dinner. Highly recommended. And at the end, she even made me two sandwiches for the return trip. Thank you so much!

I had a lovely stay with Trevor and his family. Really welcoming, brilliant stories and good work. Loved learning about his cider and sheep and helping out for a short time during the lambing period. Delicious food and lots of lovely dogs. Thanks for having me!
