WWOOF
World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms since 1971
WWOOF connects volunteers (WWOOFers) with organic host farmers around the world, facilitating a work-exchange arrangement where volunteers help on farms in return for meals and accommodation. The platform operates through national nonprofit associations in dozens of countries and an independents program covering 80+ additional nations. Its mission is to promote sustainable and ecological farming through hands-on cultural and educational exchange.
Users join their national WWOOF association, browse host farm listings, and arrange stays where they work on the farm in exchange for free meals and accommodation with no money exchanged.
