Acronym for
Willing
Workers
On
Organic Farms. An meta-group of organizations world wide who keep listings of organic farms open to
volunteer labour in exchange for room and board.
Farms are located all over the world:
Canada,
Belgium,
Sri Lanka, etc.
WWOOFing started in the
UK in 1971 and has since spread world wide. It works a lot like a
mail order bride organization, you browse descriptions of farms and what they're looking for, and you join that country's WWOOF organization to obtain the contact information for that farm.
On a more personal note, this is something I'm considering taking part in once I'm free of
my obligations in Canada. Part of my goal to have a more
pastoral existence, as
xdjio aptly put it. Interested parties may wish to check out http://www.wwoof.org
