WWOOFing Workshop for Farmers

What is WWOOFing, you ask?  Volunteers commit to a farm for  a designated amount of time in exchange for housing and meals. It means "World Wide Opportunities for Organic Farmers" and is an amazing program for farmers and workers alike. 

This workshop will introduce farmers to the benefits, considerations, and preparation to making your farm ready to host WWOOFers from here and abroad.

Hear from seasoned WWOOF host farms as they walk  you through the process of deciding and implementing your WWOOF plan.

Featuring:

• Elizabeth West, Woodland Harvest Mountain Farm
• Hillary Wilson, Maverick Farms

Whether or not you're unsure, on the fence, or a seasoned WWOOF host-farm yourself, you will definitely benefit from this workshop and conversation.

WWOOF is a world wide network.
We link volunteers with organic farmers, and help people share more sustainable ways of living.

WWOOF is an exchange - In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles.

WWOOF organisations link people who want to volunteer on organic farms or smallholdings with people who are looking for volunteer help.
