What is WWOOFÂź?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in Canada

WWOOF Canada is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Canada and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

My stay on this farm has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly welcome and was treated like part of the family. During my whole stay, it was extremely cold (between -20 and -40 degrees), so I couldn’t spend as much time outside as I wanted. But whenever I was with the animals, it was just wonderful. They have the cutest, friendliest, and fluffiest dogs, very friendly horses, and lots of goats. When I wasn’t outside, I baked lots of Christmas cookies with Terri or helped with the household. And if there was nothing to do, I cuddled or played with cats, dogs, or goats:) When it got a bit warmer, Darryl took me to the woods with the ski-doo. Those are truly wonderful and magical memories. And whenever Lindsey was off work, she took me to places so I could see and experience more of the area. Thank you so much for everything. I'm definitely coming back! Livinia

I had an amazing time staying with Zac and Kerbi. They’re some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! They made me feel super welcome and went above and beyond to make my stay as great as possible. It was a lovely getting to know them, there two boys and Kerbi’s mum Patti! I learnt loads about looking after cows, horses, dogs and cats. And learnt about a way of life I’ve fallen in love with. Pretty gutted to be leaving and hopefully I’ll have a chance to see them again!

I had a wonderful stay at Ayni Farm and felt very welcome from the beginning. It’s easy to see why so many WWOOFers speak so highly of this place. During my time there, I helped with a small construction project, cared for the sheep, and did daily tasks like feeding and watering the chickens and geese. The work was varied, meaningful, and shared at a calm and respectful pace. Being part of the daily rhythm of the farm felt grounding and rewarding. Beyond the work, Heather and Glen were very open in sharing their perspectives and their relationship with the land. I loved to listen to their thoughts. These conversations helped me better understand the context I was traveling in and feel more prepared for other cultural experiences I encountered later on, like in Manitoba, Even though my stay was short, it had a lasting impact. I left Ayni Farm feeling grateful, grounded, and with a deep appreciation for the place — especially their giant apples, which I will not forget. I would happily recommend Ayni Farm to anyone looking for a genuine and heart-centered WWOOFing experience.

The best experience of my life so far! They are a wonderful small family. Even though the work could be physical at times, it was never a problem: I learned and discovered so many things, such as logging, working wood, tanning, renovation, working with animals
 and probably a lot more! The property is a beautiful and very peaceful place. And beyond the work, we also had a lot of fun, which I truly appreciated. I sincerely thank them for the trust and freedom they gave me — not every woofing experience works like this. The house is constantly evolving, and the living space for woofers is very warm and well equipped. Today, I can say that I’m almost a real Canadian! Anyway, all of this to say that I 100% recommend this little slice of paradise.

Looking for a place for WWOOFing? I recommend Larry and Judy’s farm. They are exceptional people, respectful of both the person and the working hours. Their animals are just as adorable. Don’t hesitate—go for it!

I had a wonderful stay with Lidia! I felt really comfy and completely safe the whole time. it’s such a welcoming and peaceful place. The animals are amazing, especially the horses, donkeys, and cats they made every day so special and joyful. Working here is really chill, nothing rushed or stressful, and Lidia and the family are incredibly friendly and kind. I also loved learning practical skills like how to make comfortable beds for the animals (using fresh straw or hay), how to properly take care of them, and how to give them hay in the best way. It was a super rewarding experience in a calm, animal-filled environment highly recommend for anyone looking for a gentle, hands-on farm stay!

Our stay with Julia, Fraser, Alexia and Tristan was absolutely wonderful. It was our first WWOOFing experience, and we truly could not have imagined a better one. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly welcome and comfortable. During our stay, the lambs arrived unexpectedly weeks earlier than planned. Over the course of a week, we kept discovering newborn lambs in the mornings while feeding the animals, often twins, which made each day feel very special. In total, eight lambs were born during that time. Julia also shared so much knowledge with us about the animals, and we learned a lot from her, which made the experience even more meaningful. We truly loved taking care of the animals, and when they were away for a few days, they trusted us to look after the animals and the cats, which meant a lot to us. The food was amazing and we truly appreciated the effort that was always made to prepare vegetarian meals for us. We also really enjoyed being included in a game night with their friends, which was a lot of fun and made us feel very welcome. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable time. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, trust, and warmth we experienced and will always remember this special first WWOOFing experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend this farm to anyone, especially because of the amazing people and the stunning surroundings.

I had the pleasure of staying at the farm for 5 weeks and I absolutely loved it. The horses are all great and I already miss the dogs. I will never forget the beautiful rides we went on in the snow and the beautiful sunsets. As for the work, we went out to do chores at 08:00 and 16:00 and the work consisted of mostly filling the heynets and cleaning the stalls. It was pretty much a total of 3/4hours of work daily which isnt much at all The horses are all very nice, some stubborn, but really nice and the dogs are even nicer I had hold myself back to not constantly pet them during chores I was really sad to leave and I would do it all over again if I could. I highly recommend this farm. Leanne I hope you have a great future and I am going to miss you With a lot of love Marie â˜ș

I had an absolutely wonderful time on the farm and will always look back on it with great memories. Ryan introduced me to all the work with a lot of patience especially since I had no previous experience with cattle. Thanks to him I gained a really good insight into real farm life which I truly appreciated. I was also lucky enough to meet Ryan’s friends whom I absolutely love and already miss so much. They made my time there even more special. And last but not least Sharyl is such a warm, open and welcoming person. It was a pleasure getting to know her. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience!

Also um Klartext zu sprechen; zur Weihnachtszeit also vom 23-26 habe ich nahezu nichts machen mĂŒssen und wurde wie von meinen Großeltern versorgt. Die beiden sind sehr nett aber haben ihre SchwĂ€chen. Camaron ist sehr alt und hört schlecht wĂ€hrend Emily sehr viel redet und politisch ĂŒberzeugt ist.

We spent three weeks in July on the Twins, and it was absolutely amazing. Twin Islands is a truly unique place to stay. It is pleasantly quiet, and the views, nature, and diverse wildlife are breathtaking. We saw eagles, seals, and deer—the latter are definitely not afraid of you if you come by in a golf cart. We were even lucky enough to watch humpback whales. MJ and Duncan are incredibly warm and kind people who welcomed us with open arms and made sure we got to see and experience as much as possible. They took us to special places in the area—neighbouring islands with beautiful forests and beaches, as well as a stunning freshwater lake—and took us fishing multiple times. We even managed to catch our first salmon! On top of that, both of them are amazing cooks and bakers; the food was absolutely delicious :) We worked on many different projects, from gardening and completely remaking a flower bed to weeding, clearing paths all over the island, and moving wood. We also had plenty of time to go swimming, canoeing, and hiking, and to explore the island on our own. It was a marvellous stay, and we would 1000% recommend it. Thank you so much, MJ and Duncan, for everything! We miss you!

J’ai vĂ©cu une belle expĂ©rience de woofing Ă  La TerriĂšre, un lieu regroupant des mĂ©tiers d’art autour de la fusion et un jardin maraĂźcher, avec une vue magnifique sur les montagnes charlevoisiennes. TrĂšs bon accueil de Louis, ChloĂ© et leurs deux filles. J’ai eu la chance d’assister Ă  une « grande cuisson Â» de cĂ©ramique et d’y rencontrer voisins, amis et artistes. Un Ă©vĂ©nement chaleureux et rassembleur. CĂŽtĂ© jardin, les activitĂ©s Ă©taient agrĂ©ables et variĂ©es. Bon Ă©quilibre entre travail, randonnĂ©es et dĂ©couverte de la rĂ©gion. Je garde un excellent souvenir de Charlevoix, sa nature, sa culture et ses habitants.
