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 in Canada
WWOOF Canada is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Canada and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.
Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping on a farm.
Hosts offer accommodation and meals to visitors, with no money exchanged between hosts and WWOOFers.
WWOOF brings people together from diverse corners of the world who share similar values and philosophies and provides them with a new connection to a fresh and vibrant community.
Becoming a WWOOF member means you agree to the values of the WWOOF Charter.
