Product Information

Fight stress. This might seem odd at first. After all you’ll be doing some farm work, but a lot of volunteers say the experience actually reduces their stress level. While you’ll be doing some work, it’s more about learning. Throw in the fresh air, meeting new people and being able to visit new locales, and your stress may fade away.

Some of my best memories are of WWOOFing on farms in the UK, Portugal and France so it was great to have the opportunity of becoming a trustee in 2021. I think climate change and uncertainfood supply mean that Wwoof’s role of helping more people spend time learning about growing and conservation willbe increasingly important. I am the Director of a small not for profit organisation so I bring over a decade of experience of the challenges and benefits of working with limited resources in the third sector. My weekends are spent either at capoeira classes, mainly watching other people do very cool moves, or at our local community garden, which is a beautiful space for growing, sharingand building community.Learn something new. WWOOF gives you the chance to learn a new skill at low cost, and at the same time you get to visit different places and meet new people. The time you stay in the farm will have been negotiated prior to your arrival and will be between you and your host. The average stay length is 2 to 3 weeks, but it can be as short as 2 days or as long as 6 months; it all depends on your negotiations with your host. HOW TO BE A WWOOF HOST

Something that was wonderful would be "outta sight" (so great or unbelievable, you just couldn't take it all in.) Among the 1960s hipster contingent, their lingo included phrases to describe superlative experiences:Eat organic food. Another reason why people WWOOF is the opportunity to eat organic food. It’s your chance to get away from processed food and enjoy fresh healthy produce. Gain practical experience. Sure, you can read about biodynamic and organic farming. However, it’s totally different when you’re out there harvesting, growing and farming. Animal husbandry and other aspects of farming have a sort of therapeutic effect. The feeling of planting and mixing soil is something you’ll not likely to forget. If you’ve got a farm, being a WWOOF host gives you the opportunity to learn the latest techniques for growing organics, and it is also a chance to show people another lifestyle they may not be familiar with.
