Default Get free Volunteers to work on Organic Farms

Willing Workers on Organic Farms

WWOOF is a world wide network of organisations that allow volunteers to live and learn on organic properties. WWOOF brings together Hosts and volunteers ("WWOOFers") helping each other to make a healthier world. WWOOF also promotes cultural understanding of the many diverse peoples and cultures around the world through the intercultural exchange that takes place while sharing in the daily life of others.

What are the aims of WWOOF?

WWOOF enables people to learn first hand organic
WWOOF enables town-dwellers to experience living and working on a farm
WWOOF helps improve communication within the organic movement.
WWOOF enables you to develop confidence in becoming self-sufficient.
WWOOF allows you to meet interesting people and make useful contacts


Get Involved

WWOOF volunteers ("WWOOFers") give time and energy to helping on the farm. If you are inerested in environmentally sound living, want to have hands on learning about biodynamics, composting, bread, wine, cheese making, building with mud bricks, sustainable energy........ while living in the local community then volunteering with WWOOF might be for you.

WWOOF Hosts grow food organically, live sustainably and generally try to live a low impact life. If you want to share your knowledge and experience in organic growing, producing organic products and/ or experience in more ecological and sustainable methods of living. If can provide healthy meals and a safe, clean place to stay. If you want to open your home to a diverse range of people, locally and internationally then you may like to become a WWOOF host. Start welcoming WWOOFers from all over the world.

Dear Mr.Harish,

I am an Organic Farmer from Punjab and have been involved with organic farming since 1997. The concept of WWOOF sounds very interesting.I would like to know more about having people come over and stay at our farm in Punjab.

Kindly let me know how i can get involved.

Best regards.
