A WWOOF host is a farmer or grower who practices organic agriculture. Their knowledge of sustainable and organic practices is something they enjoy sharing.
WWOOF volunteers assist on organic food properties and learn organic and bio-dynamic farming, natural building, food forests, water harvesting, grey water management, soil building, composting, gardening and more. The host contributes to a healthier world by teaching sustainable living skills, food sovereignty, healthy communities, and healthy foods.

Many volunteers are so inspired by the experience they change their lifestyles and even set up their own organic food gardens, become world citizens, or discover their life’s purpose after volunteering.
