ABOUT WWOOF

The founding idea of WWOOF is to facilitate human exchanges around organic farming. WWOOF hopes to provide a way for people to learn about organic food, farming, and ways of life. In doing so it brings people WWOOF MW LOGOtogether to share common human values and thinking. WWOOF also hopes to provide helping hands to its organic hosts and allow volunteers to understand what it means to earn a living organically.

Originally called “Working Weekends on Organic Farms”, WWOOF came into being in England, in Autumn 1971, when Sue Coppard, a secretary living and working in London, recognised the need for people like herself, who did not have the means or the opportunity, to access the countryside and support the organic movement.
Today WWOOF stands for “World Wide Opportunties on Organic Farms.”
