Why Don’t You Go WWOOFing?
.
You must have heard of WWOOFing?
Basically it’s a great way to travel the world and get to know all about the food we eat and the land we need to use - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.
What better way to discover how delicate the land is that we rely on for our fruits and vegetables, and the rest as well than to work on the very farms that produce it.
And There’s More…..
You get to live on the farm for free too! I know it’s hard to believe, but you need not worry about all the normal expenses of accommodation and food - it’s all included!
In return for your labour, the organic farmer will fill your tummy with yummy home-grown organic food and give you a place to stay as well. Many of the farmers also like to teach you about organic methods too, making the experience even more of a green adventure. You can come away with a belly full of food and a head full of eco facts!
How Does It Work?
Well basically, you decide which country you want to volunteer in and sign up for the list of available farms looking for helping hands. Some countries require you to get a working visa - for example you will need an american visa - but others treat you as a volunteer tourist, so do bear this in mind before setting out!
Once you get your list of farming opportunities you speak directly to the farmers who appeal to you - and then confirm the dates and the length of time you want to stay there and help out.
So, if you want to volunteer on organic farms anywhere in the world for as long as you want - then make sure you take a look at their website. And start thinking about which country you fancy……
