Women's Earth Alliance

WWOOF-USA' s mission is to be a part of a worldwide effort to link volunteers with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and create a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.  WWOOF is a purely voluntary program.  Volunteers do not get paid.  Instead, they volunteer for half a day in exchange for room and board, provided by the farmer.  Accommodations vary from farm to farm- anything from a tipi, to a trailer, room in a house, or tent space may be available.  Duties will vary from farm to farm, and there are many different projects happening on various farms.   Our website contains a preview of the directory- the farm profiles without their contact information.  Once you become a member, you will have full view of the farms and their contact information.

WOOF exists in 40 countries, and although we cooperate with each other each is independently run.  We have contact info for them on our website.  The aims of WWOOF:
-- to enable people to learn first-hand about organic growing techniques

-- to enable town-dwellers to experience living and helping on a farm

-- to help farmers make organic production a viable alternative

-- to improve communications within the organic movement.



WWOOF organisations compile a list of organic Host farms that (from time to

time) welcome volunteer help. When you become a member of a WWOOF

organisation, you will be put in contact with these Host farms. It is then

up to you to contact the Host farms that interest you and make your own

arrangements with them.
