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. Don’t take risks: While you are a guest at their farm, you alone are responsible for your safety. Members of WWOOF have insurance in some countries, but if you’re careful you won’t ever have to use it. Be careful when spraying on plants, when feeding animals and doing other tasks. Use common sense as well. If you’re asked to drive the tractor and you don’t feel capable of doing so, let your host know and politely decline. Don’t expect fancy lodging: This isn’t a five star hotel, it is farm, so you could end up sleeping in a barn loft, basement bunkhouse or tepee. In some farms you could be staying in a comfortable room with amenities, while in another you may have to set up your own tent.

A chance to enjoy different kinds of weather. Is it winter where you live and want to get away from it? Go WWOOFing and enjoy the sun.You need to be careful; If you’re WWOOFing for the first time, watch out for insect bites as they’re prevalent in some countries. Consider the language: Language is another matter to consider. Are you willing to stay in a farm where they don’t speak much English or your native language? Others may not want to, but this also gives you the chance to learn and use a foreign language. You should also consider the general atmosphere and situation such as the weather, climate, etc. wally wally, blood and dolly - being wild about a person in a way that makes you blind to their faults

The weather might be too hot or too cold. This is something you need to get used to especially if you’re used to living in a particular climate. WWOOFing began in 1971 in the UK. It was the brainchild of Sue Coppard, who together with a couple of friends, wanted to spend some time in a farm. In return for their stay, Sue and her friends performed various tasks around the farm. Following their successful stay, other people soon followed and the WWOOF movement was on its way. Some of my best memories are of WWOOFing on farms in the UK, Portugal and France so it was great to have the opportunity of becoming a trustee in 2021. I think climate change and uncertainfood supply mean that Wwoof’s role of helping more people spend time learning about growing and conservation willbe increasingly important. I am the Director of a small not for profit organisation so I bring over a decade of experience of the challenges and benefits of working with limited resources in the third sector. My weekends are spent either at capoeira classes, mainly watching other people do very cool moves, or at our local community garden, which is a beautiful space for growing, sharingand building community. 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 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 HOSTBeing self-reliant. Becoming a volunteer means learning how to grow food and get hands-on training on what it’s like being a farmer. The knowledge you gain WWOOFing can be put to good use and in your own garden. People choose to go WWOOFing to learn a new way of living as well as how to be resilient. Fast cars and fast lives. The '60s were an era of rebellion so, to no surprise, that means some exciting car lingo. Let's take a look:

Most WWOOF groups use the lower age limit of 18 years old as in most countries people below 18 are considered by law to be children. The good news is that different rules apply in different countries and so some WWOOF groups do take younger people. WWOOF Germany, WWOOF Portugal, WWOOF UK and WWOOF Italy accept younger than 18 but sometimes a letter of consent from your parent or guardian is required. 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. In other words, WWOOF benefits both host and volunteer, and a lot of volunteers enjoy their experience so much they end up becoming farmers. As a host, this is the right time to spread word about organic farming and its benefits. If you’re interested in becoming one, simply get in touch with the WWOOF in your country and they will help with the procedure. Fight stress. This might seem odd at first. After all you’ll be doing some farm work, but a lot of volunteers say the experience actually reduces their stress level. While you’ll be doing some work, it’s more about learning. Throw in the fresh air, meeting new people and being able to visit new locales, and your stress may fade away. 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.

Among the 1960s hipster contingent, their lingo included phrases to describe superlative experiences: It’s an experience to remember.
