 World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

The idea behind WWOOF is that you volunteer on organic (permaculture/sustainable) farms for a certain amount of hours per day in exchange for food, accommodation and learning about the organic way of life. The opportunity to grow, harvest and eat food from your own hands is only a click away.

Workaway

Workaway was created with the goal of helping travelers integrate into the society of the country in which they are traveling. In the typical format of a volunteer exchange, Workaway hosts require a certain amount of working hours per day (usually no more than five) and you receive food and accommodation in return. The rest of your time is yours to explore the local culture and way of life. Workaway listing categories range from Art projects and domestic house helping to English teaching and technical support. There is always someone looking for your expertise.

Grow Food

Grow Food’s mission is to train a new generation of sustainable farmers and to reconnect people with farms. You can come and volunteer on a farm, learn about organic sustainability, and kick your feet up after a hard day’s work, enjoying farm fresh food that won’t poison you with pesticides. Thousands of the farms are listed in the United State of America, so if you’re (living in the USA and) not ready to make your big trip just yet- it’s a perfect way to get a taste of travel.
