A world filled with nature, fresh air, good food, hands-on farming, and community.
At WWOOF, we welcome everyone and embrace curiosity, enthusiasm, and adventures driven by the desire to improve the world around us. Since 1971, we’ve been part of a worldwide movement with a common mission: to promote sustainable farming.
Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF)
WWOOF® links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.
Visitors (or “WWOOFers”) participate in the daily life of hosts while receiving educational opportunities, meals and accommodation during their visit, with no money exchanged between hosts and WWOOFers. WWOOFers learn to grow their own food, help on the farm, and experience a new culture.
Hosts open their homes to receive visitors from all walks of life who want to connect with organic food, regenerative agriculture and give a hand in the everyday tasks.
Curious about the WWOOF movement?
Live. Learn.
Grow. Connect.
Embark on an adventure and discover unique places, where growing food from hands-on farming is part of an inspiring lifestyle. Live in-tune with the elements of nature, where there is good laughter around the table and real food on the plate. Team up with WWOOF to promote organic agriculture and support farmers who are nourishing their community.
Find your place in this vibrant community bound by sustainability.

Want to grow your own food, but don’t know where to start? Did you know that you can learn directly from organic farmers around the world, by living and learning alongside them on their farm? At WWOOF, we link visitors (WWOOFers) with organic host farmers around the world. Our goal is to help people rediscover the care and love it takes to grow quality food sustainably, to help people reconnect to this lifestyle and in doing so - preserving the precious agroecological knowledge and practices that are currently under threat. We’ve been building this global community, conscious of ecological farming practices, since 1971 and invite you to JOIN IN 💥 👩🏽🌾 As a WWOOFer, you get to participate in the daily life of your host, help on the farm, learn about sustainability, potentially experience a new culture or connect with your local community, meet new people, and receive room and board as part of your farmstay. 🧑🏽🌾 As a host farmer, you get to open your home to receive visitors who want to connect with organic food, farming, and support the sustainability movement. 🌎 WWOOF is organized nationally so to join, select the country on WWOOF.net that you are interested in and get growing. Questions? Add them in the comments 🥕 & a big thank you to @fonkele for letting us reshare this masterpiece 😙🤌
