WWOOF Canada

WWOOF...(World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) WWOOF Canada is part of the Federation of WWOOF Organizations (http://www.wwoof.net), a worldwide community that promotes awareness of ecological farming practices by providing visitors with the opportunity to live and learn on organic properties. WWOOF was founded in 1971 in the UK and is one of the world’s first voluntourism and ecotourism organizations. From the UK WWOOF spread to Australia, New Zealand, then Canada in 1985, and now exists in 132 countries (and growing) around the world. WWOOF provides a way for people to learn about organic food & sustainable ways of living. It brings together people who share similar human values and philosophies. WWOOF provides helping hands to its hosts and at the same time allows volunteers to understand what it means to grow one's own food sustainably and earn a living as an organic farmer.
