About this deal

The time you stay in the farm will have been negotiated prior to your arrival and will be between you and your host. The average stay length is 2 to 3 weeks, but it can be as short as 2 days or as long as 6 months; it all depends on your negotiations with your host. HOW TO BE A WWOOF HOST

Be honest with your time: How long do you want to work in a farm? Is it just for a few days or several weeks? Ask yourself if you’d rather spend time traveling than being on the farm or how flexible you can be. While the typical workday is around 4 to 6 hours, it can vary from farm to farm. In some cases you may have to work all day and have the following day off. Affordable means of traveling. WWOOFing is one of the most affordable means of traveling. Your food and lodging are taken care of, plus a lot of these farms are far away from populated centers, giving you the chance to explore without spending a lot of money.Aside from those mentioned earlier, WWOOFers will have the opportunity to assist with animal care, weeding and help with harvesting. While a certain level of fitness is required for these tasks, you don’t need to be exceptionally fit. Please keep in mind that tasks in farms change on a daily basis, so while you may be given an idea of what duties to perform, these can change. HOW WWOOFING WORKS Not all 70's slang fits neatly into a category. The disco era is known for many other groovy slang sayings and expressions. Among the 1960s hipster contingent, their lingo included phrases to describe superlative experiences: Gives you a new perspective on life: some people become so enamored with life on the farm they decide to be farmers full time. This is your chance to see if this lifestyle is for you.

Try something different. If you’ve been doing the same thing over and over during your vacation, then it’s time for a change. It’s not exactly your typical vacation, but one where you can learn new things and do something adventurous. Location matters: You won’t be spending all your time in the farm so choose a location that you will enjoy. For instance, you could choose a farm that is close to camping trails. Or you could go to farm that is adjacent to important locations in the area or near public transport.

Today the WWOOFing organization is available in more than 50 countries and is available as independents in over 40 more. In the beginning, WWOOFing was confined to the weekends, but now volunteers can stay for longer periods of time. National WWOOF organisations are active in their countries with grassroots movements, meetings, raising awareness and much more. They have staff available who are knowledgeable about their country and can best provide continuous assistance to their members, answer questions and provide support. Set criteria: Before you apply as a volunteer, ask yourself why you’re joining and what type of experience you want to gain. Do you want to work with animals? Do you want to plant vegetables? Or would you prefer to learn how to create stone walls and prepare local food? Define your goals and you will have an easier time figuring out what to do. If you’ve got a farm, being a WWOOF host gives you the opportunity to learn the latest techniques for growing organics, and it is also a chance to show people another lifestyle they may not be familiar with. No farming experience required. Earlier we mentioned that having farm skills is a plus. That’s true but it’s not a requirement. Even if you know next to nothing about farming, you can still apply as a lot of farms take in volunteers who have little or no experience. The only thing that’s important is you arrive at the farm with a positive outlook and willing to keep up with the daily tasks required.

Remember why you’re there: Being in a new place, it’s tempting to go out sightseeing. It’s allowed provided you’re done with your duties for the day. All the good food, meeting new people, the beautiful vistas and local sights and sounds are secondary as you are there to do volunteer work. To gain the respect of your hosts, don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty, be responsible and respectful of your work. The Barking Bakery Carob Woofin with Vanilla Frosting is a full size, low calorie muffin made especially for your furry friend. Be fit and healthy. If you haven’t had the time or inclination to exercise, going to WWOOF is an alternative. The work you do will help get you in shape. Tasks vary on a farm, and you will never get bored or run out of things to do. Do not be shy: You’ll be staying at their farm so let them know a bit about you. You’re not the only one volunteering for that farm so it won’t hurt to “sell yourself” by pointing out your strong points. Can you sow seeds? Do you have some experience planting vegetables? Provide some details of your skills. If you don’t have any direct related experience, emphasize other attributes. Are you hard working? Do you take directions well? Will you take ownership of the work assigned to you? Going to go far in helping you land that volunteer spot in the farm.Hard work: Life on the farm isn’t easy. You have to get up early and do real work. Aside from feeding and planting, you may end up doing physically demanding tasks.

If there's one thing people have in common, it's opinions about others. Here are some of the more unique ways "hunks" and "skirts" talked about other people during this time: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the number of hours you have to work, but usually it is 4 to 6 hours a day helping around the farm, and in exchange you will get a full day’s worth of accommodation and food. Breathe fresh air. There are some things we take for granted and that includes fresh air. If you’ve been filling your lungs with smoke and pollution while living in the city, being able to breathe the fresh air will be a welcome change. The amenities vary. In some farms you will have your own room while in others you may have to share it and bathrooms with several people. Just like today, life in the '60s was full of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here are some of the most popular expressions used to provide commentary on various experiences:After a year of lurking I became a WWOOF Trustee in 2022. My first experiences with WWOOFing were in the late nineties where I tried out a few long weekends. I enjoyed it enough to leave my job as a librarian and spend a year WWOOFing in the UK, Ireland and Spain. I have a great affection for goats so I spent a lot of that year clambering, making cheese and failing to keep the kids out of trouble. Although I began WWOOFing as an adult in my 30s, the experience taught me and changed me in a powerful way. And I met some wonderful humans too! I have remained a member ever since. I have a long-standing interest in ethical food, having worked for a specialist cheese shop, and a well-known organic delivery service. I believe that food justice, starting locally, is the necessary foundation for a better world.
