What is WWOOFÂź?

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 Independents

WWOOF Independents is a network that makes WWOOFing possible in countries without a locally-based organization. Please check the list of countries included.

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.

Our stay at Quinta Santa Clara was phenomenal! We learned so much about organic farming and got to take part in various activities including prepping orders, planting, pruning, and helping in the syntropy! We loved spending time with the team, Malena, Gonzalo and Jeremias who were so kind. Big thanks to Santiago as well for being a wonderful host - the home was very peaceful and it was great to stay in such a beautiful area. Hope all is well with you all, we will cherish out time at Quinta Santa Clara forever :)

Our time at Quinta Santa Clara was very lovely and we learned a lot! Everyone was very kind and open and willing to teach us. Santiago and the other employees were very welcoming and willing to help with anything we needed! We enjoyed learning about and helping with the vegetable farming - harvesting, completing orders, and planting, and we also loved working in and learning about the syntropic olive grove. Beautiful location and very peaceful. Also we enjoyed going to visit Montevideo and Punta del Este on the weekends. Hugs and thank you to the entire team!

I stayed at Farm Elbaya for 2 weeks and I am superhappy with this experience! During the two weeks I got to work a lot which I really enjoyed. The work was fun and I got to try lot of different tasks. Everyday was different, some day you help with building and fixing and some other day you plant trees and help with beekeeping. Even though you havent done the task or used some tool before, Mahdi teaches you and lets you to try everything. The farm is very beautiful, peaceful and calm. You can see that everything on the farm is made with love and purpose. You feel good and relaxed there! Mahdi and his family are very friendly and welcoming. I also enjoyed a lot to spend time with the animals. The food that you get there is the best food that you will get in Tunisia! It is made my Mahdis mom and it is fresh, super delicious and organic. I also enjoyed a lot to train with Mahdi. He is a great goach! His workouts are fun, diverse and playful and I got lot of inspiration from him for my own workouts. Especially I am excited to train more handstanding because with Mahdis help it got improved a lot, even just in 2 weeks! If you are looking for some authentic experience in Tunisia from the local point of view, Farm Elbaya is a great choice for that!

Jayantha war von Anfang an ein sehr aufgeschlossener und interessierter Gastgeber. Besonders spannend fand ich die PrĂ€sentation ĂŒber das Balangoda Regenwald Projekt mit vielen wissenswerten Hintergrundinformationen. Jay nahm uns zudem an unserem freien Tag mit zu einem nahegelegenen Wasserfall, was großartig war. Die ganze Community rund um das Projekt ist einmalig liebenswĂŒrdig. Sehr zu empfehlen đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ˜Œ Danke, danke, danke.

Je tiens Ă  remercier Anis, pour cette expĂ©rience incroyable que j’ai vĂ©cue au sein de son oliveraie ! J’ai adorĂ© en apprendre davantage sur les oliviers, la rĂ©colte et l’extraction de l’huile. Anis est une vĂ©ritable source de savoir et m’a permis de rencontrer des personnes expertes dans ce domaine. Chaque jour, j’ai dĂ©couvert de prĂšs toute la vie sociale et professionnelle qui tourne autour des oliviers. C’était une expĂ©rience profondĂ©ment humaine : j’y ai rencontrĂ© des personnes formidables et j’ai vĂ©cu une parenthĂšse hors du temps, oĂč l’on savoure la simplicitĂ© et la beautĂ© de la vie. Chaque jour, je travaillais avec les ouvriers, utilisais les mĂȘme outils qu'eux, travaillais au mĂȘme rythme qu'eux et me donnais Ă  100% POUR EUX. Merci encore pour ton accueil Anis et Ă  trĂšs bientĂŽt !

My experience at a bit difference was nothing short of amazing. Thai and his family were so welcoming to me and it immediately felt like a second home to me. I learned so much about farming and Malaysian plants, because Thai is an incredible teacher. He puts a lot of effort into explaining his work and his process and happily answered all my questions in detail. The 2 gardens he has developed over the last few years are really impressive and a great place to learn about permaculture and food forest, if you are interested in this. The accommodation is very comfortable and there is lots of cool stuff to do around Kulai. I also recommended taking a 3 hour bus ride to Singapore on the weekend, as it’s so convenient and a nice break from the quiet, slow life at a bit difference. The lunches are usually prepared by Thai’s mother or Thai and they are always amazing and delicious. I really recommend this farm to anyone who’s interested in learning about sustainable farm life and wants to spend time in Malaysia.

It was a beautiful and amazing time! Loreen and Joette are kind, caring people - both when it's about people and when it is about nature. The work they are doing for the fungi world is exciting and important. I can highly recommend others to come and learn from them. My personal non-fungi related highlight: going fishing with Loreen and another WWOOFer!

Bien sĂ»r, vous pouvez cuisiner et manger des dĂ©licieux champignons trĂšs souvent :) Tous mes bon souhaits pour Floyd et ses champignons!

I spent about 4 weeks at the farm, returning home with plenty of warm memories and knowledge on permaculture. Deborah was always kind and made sure I would feel at home. She explained everything patiently as I did a variety of tasks required for the farm. The location, surrounded by beautiful hills, is reachable by public transport, which also make it possible to visit the neighbouring villages and tiny cities in your free time. It would be hard to forget the nice conversations, Deborah’s amazing baking, and of course, the funny charismatic sheep. Thank you 🙂
