WTF is WWOFing?
WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is a truly unique and enriching experience for adventurous souls seeking a deeper connection with nature. It allows individuals to immerse themselves in the world of organic farming, exchanging their time and labor for an invaluable opportunity to learn about sustainable practices and participate in eco-conscious living. WWOOFing enables travelers to not only contribute to the local community but also gain firsthand knowledge about organic farming techniques, biodiversity conservation, and the importance of a symbiotic relationship between humans and the environment. Whether helping with planting, harvesting, or tending to animals, WWOOFing offers an authentic and transformative experience that fosters personal growth, cultural exchange, and a profound appreciation for the land.
I am in love with the idea of WWOOFing around the world for a while. It’s one of my many dreams to have my own mix of a wellness retreat and artistic studio on a regenerative farm. But farming is hard work, especially regenerative farming (at least at first) and while I certainly do my research, I learn by doing. Thus, WWOOFing seems like the best way to experience farm life and sustainable living. Being an international WWOOFer might just be my post college adventure so stayed tuned…
