What is WWOOF®?

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 that do not have 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.

My friend and I spent a week at Dalö Tsaná, in this magnificent tropical garden overlooking the valley. We had our own room and personal space, and we also shared the kitchen and meals with Mickaël/Fernando. His delicious daily gallo pinto (a Costa Rican speciality) gave us a real energy boost in the morning. The meals were simple and nourishing. The location is remote and difficult to access, and the weather is quite predictable: sun in the morning, rain in the afternoon. It's very humid. The tasks to be completed were varied, and Mickaël trusted us to carry them out independently. Don't hesitate to ask him for clarification, and some gardening knowledge is helpful. The animals are adorable and well-behaved. Even though he had limited availability, Mickaël took some special time with us over herbal tea or during a meditation session to explain all his ongoing projects. Thank you again for this lovely stay at your place, and may the right people find your way!

I arrived at Hof Steinaker feeling a little nervous as a first-time WWOOFer. But it took only a few minutes to feel completely at home. Laura and Ilir are genuinely warm, hardworking, and wonderful people to work with, and my entire stay was far beyond my expectations. I truly couldn’t have asked for more. There is, however, one serious side effect of staying at this organic farm: it completely ruined my taste. 😂 My coffee will never taste quite the same without the view from the kitchen porch. And the pasta I eat from now on will probably never be as good as the pasta Laura and Ilir made. (I may have been spoiled for life.) I learned so much about organic farming, caring for animals, and simply enjoying the Swiss countryside at a slower pace. More than anything, I felt welcomed, appreciated, and part of the farm for a little while. I can’t thank Hof Steinaker, Laura, and Ilir enough for such a wonderful experience. My first WWOOFing experience was a pretty hard act to follow! ❤️🇨🇭

My stay at Thai Soon's farm was excellent! We spent two weeks working on the old house. There were plenty of ideas and lots to do. Thai Soon is a very kind person who is always ready to listen and share ideas; whenever we needed materials, he would get them for us in minutes. And the food—it was incredible... you never leave the table hungry, and you have to finish everything (my specialty, haha). I hope to return someday and see the final result of Thai Soon's work 😊

I had an amazing time at Gaia’s farm!! From the first moment I felt super welcomed and comfortable at the farm, also due to Tilikas super friendly and open, kind personality. She explained every job very well and always made sure that the tasks were versatile and in the shade, which was great. She is also an amazing cook and the lunch was the highlight of the day, so look forward to some delicious meals at the farm. I was lucky to be able to paint some murals on the farm which was an amazing opportunity for me! I had lots of fun, especially because Tilika was super open to my creativity and created a safe space for my ideas. The farm is surrounded by nature but also not completely remote, so you’ll easily walk to the next train station and explore Switzerland and have great weekend trips, maybe even with other wwoofers from the farm. All in all I had wonderful 3 weeks there full of laughter, interesting facts about the veggies and fruit and a really rewarding time - thank you Tilika and your whole team for this experience!

The work was rewarding, the whole family was very friendly and the over all volunteer experience was great. The rustic vibes and proximity to Xico make it a great experience to immerse oneself in Mexico ! Most of all it was fascinating to see this gorgeous farm in action, the absence of machinery and cleverness in crop management !

My stay with Ben, Anusha and the three kids was incredible. I stayed for 4 weeks and I would recommend this experience whole heartedly. Both Ben and Anusha are incredibly beautiful people, really kind and caring, by the end of the 4 weeks I felt apart of the family. Had really nice chats with Ben in the field, and really nice chats with Anusha in the kitchen and learnt about Sri Lanka through the stories Anusha tells. The kids are also so beautiful, they were a joy to be around. The food that Anusha cooks is also incredible, every meal was so delicious. The work was a good variation, I learnt so much. My work looked like this: Week one I picked, sorted, dried peppercorns and help with the kids. Week two/three I cut the grass in the fields which was really fun. Week four we started to contour the land and make tracks prepping the field for the cinnamon. Thanks you so much for this experience and I can’t wait to come back!

Carlos and his father had taken such good care of me from the moment - no wait, before I entered the property and long after, keeping in touch and always making sure I was okay. Despite my Spanish being a little (read very) rusty, we have found our way to communicate with English and body language. The experience is very predictable in terms of what is expected and work hours from 8-13. Breakfast at 7 and lunch at 13. However, the most important thing for Carlos and his father is the comfort of the volunteer. If I needed something they went far beyond what one could expect to help me out. The food they served, the things they taught me about music and language, taking me for biking trips, restaurant visits and thermal waters, everything has been done from their hearts. If I’m happy they’re happy and it seems that that’s the most important for them. I’ve learned a lot from them and I appreciate it so much. Muchas gracias! Diomedes out!

This was my first time WWOOFing, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The dedication of Ivan and the staff at Mokrin House is truly inspiring. The rooms were very comfortable, and the food from the chefs was incredible. Life on the farm had a good mix of routine and variability; I spent most days working with the tomatoes and/or the new cattle while also having the chance to explore Mokrin/Kikinda, watch the meteor showers, make friends with locals, and hang out with other WWOOFers during evenings and weekends. I also enjoyed learning Serbian words and history from Dragan as well as being immersed in Serbian culture. Thank you to everyone at Mokrin House for making this experience unforgettable - I hope to visit again someday!

Branko showed great hospitality and attention during the 10 days I spent with him and I really enjoyed my stay. The work on the farm is a demanding job and quite physical but during free time we had awesome moments of sharing and joy. I worked at various tasks : milking goats, walking them in the forest, preparing bottles of whey, feeding the pigs, cooking for everyone and taking care of the kitchen. Branko made me discover the south of Serbia, for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend !
