World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF)

[AT Hike 2010]

Have you ever WWOOF-ed? If so, where did you go? What did you do on
the farm? Do you have any tips for those looking to share in a
similar experience?

[Brandon Imp]

YES YES YES. WWOOFing makes me so happy. It's a beacon of hope in a
land of...everywhere.

1. Bordeaux region, France - vineyard
2. Paterno, Sicily, Italy - orange orchard/Osho meditation center
3. Huelo Lookout on Hana Highway, Maui, Hawaii, USA - young commune,
pineapple bush/general gardens

My tips: do it, expect hard work and be happy to do it, be in shape,
make sure they know you're coming (!!!!), bring something interesting
(do you play an instrument? or hacky sack?), do not be afraid to move
to another farm if you do not like where you are, have fun!

Most importantly, remember this should be a free exchange! You
provide some manpower and they provide hospitality!
