WWOOF, which stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, is a global network that connects volunteers with organic farmers and growers.
The idea began in the 1970s as a way for people to learn about organic farming while exchanging their time and skills for food, accommodation, and cultural experience. Today, WWOOF operates in more than 130 countries, offering thousands of hosts ranging from small family farms to larger eco-communities. Volunteers, often called âWWOOFers,â typically help with tasks such as gardening, planting, harvesting, animal care, or eco-building projects. In return, they receive meals, a place to stay, and the opportunity to learn about sustainable lifestyles directly from experienced practitioners. WWOOF is not a paid job program but rather an exchange that promotes cultural understanding, sustainable agriculture, and conscious travel. It is popular with travelers, students, and anyone curious about organic living and ecological practices worldwide.
