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.

I had such a great time with George, Anna and Heather 😊 It was my first Wwoofing experience and I was very glad to be with them ! They make you feel like family, they share with you their stories and all. Their pets are LOVELY too ! 😁 I would've stayed more if I could ! I highly recommend George's farm â˜ș

We spend three unforgettable weeks with Diana and Gus. From the first day to the last they have been most generous and kind and never failed to make us feel welcome and appreciated. The work times were variable, which we appreciated, and mostly spend cleaning trails, moving firewood for the winter, burning brush outside, or taking care of their wonderful dog Maple. Wether working side by side with them or on our own we were always able to ask any questions. When not working, Diana and Gus are really fun and easy to talk to. This was a real ones in a lifetime experience for us and we would always do it again! Jakob and Jakob

We spent a month at titan ranch and we had a really great time there! Laurie is a very kind and accommodating person. We enjoyed the morning and evening chores which consist in taking care of the animals. We also had a lot of free time to discover the surroundings (we even saw mooses on the property and heard coyotes almost every evening!). Laurie took us to visit different places and also to her watercolor classes and we appreciated it a lot. The place is very quiet, isolated and with beautiful landscapes especially at sunrise and sunset. We saw Northern lights as well! In general, we really enjoyed our staying there and we are thankful for Laurie and Melissa's welcoming. Marine and Lisa

I had an exceptional stay with Erin, Ron, and the whole family! Disconnecting is unsettling at first, but in such a peaceful place, it's extremely pleasant! The fact that all the work is done by hand makes it even more rejuvenating! I learned a lot during my short stay. I hope to have the opportunity to return. Thank you very much.

Une expĂ©rience incroyable !!! Notre premiĂšre expĂ©rience en tant que woofer a Ă©tĂ© sublimĂ©e par Patricia, Guy et tous leurs enfants. Nous avons pu dĂ©couvrir le monde de la ferme, en allant des pommes de terre aux lapins. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© accueillis dans une famille bienveillante et soucieuse de notre confort/bien-ĂȘtre Ă  la ferme. Nous nous sommes vite intĂ©grĂ©s grĂące aux diffĂ©rentes activitĂ©s, on n'a pas le temps de s’ennuyer. Merci Ă  vous tous pour votre patience et les moments partagĂ©s ensemble. À tantĂŽt Antoine & Louis

This was my very first WWOOFing experience, and I can ALREADY say it will be one of the best I’ll ever have. Silas is incredibly knowledgeable and respectful — he always reminded me to “listen to my body,” to take breaks when needed, eat well, and stay hydrated. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his volunteers, and that kind of kindness really stands out. I also had the pleasure of meeting his wonderful wife, Louise, and their lovely daughter, Hilda. On my days off, they always made sure I was included — whether it was joining in on their fun activities or simply sharing great conversations. I learned so much during my stay, especially about chicken farming and sheep farming. Some of my favorite moments were collecting fresh eggs every morning and spending time with the ewes — special mention to Pumpkin and Honey, who always came to say hello, and my favorite duo, Red and Rose! Beyond the skills I gained on the farm, I’m leaving with heartfelt memories and a sense of belonging. I was treated like family, and that’s something I’ll always treasure. If you ever get the chance to WWOOF here, don’t think twice — you’ll learn a lot, feel appreciated, and experience genuine hospitality. I am certain Silas will appreciate all the help that you can provide, and being someone who can let him share all the amazing things he knows about farming! Thank you, Silas, Louise, and Hilda, for such a beautiful and unforgettable time! đŸŒŸđŸ’œ

Lucy's farm is a very beautiful and peaceful place. I stayed with her for two weeks. She went on vacation after a few days but made sure I had plenty of tasks to keep me busy. Her daughters took great care of me but also gave me a lot of freedom. I fed the horses, dogs, and barn cat, weeded, harvested, fixed fences, drove the tractor, cleaned the shop and some vegetable patches, and had a variety of other things to do. My favourite part was that I was allowed to help move the cattle and see how they were sorted. When Lucy was there, she explained a lot and showed me, for example, how to dry herbs, how to maintain a sourdough starter, and also recommended activities outside of the ranch. You have your own room and the food is always fresh and delicious. The ranch is in the middle of nowhere between mountains, so a vehicle is a good thing to have. I can totally recommend her to any WWOOFer.

I stayed at Wind Whistle Farm for one week and I really want to thank David and the community. Everyone was extremely friendly and very willing to help out. Expect to work 5 hours a day around the property and take on communal tasks shared between everyone in the community. Facilities are great, chickens are very friendly, and the property is very beautiful especially in the fall! Weather can get cold in the fall and winter, but that's just Canada :) Thank you for all the memories and new experiences!

With the leaves turning colorful and harvest season coming to and end I had the pleasure of staying on the Heritage Farm for 6 weeks in September and October. Matt and Rachel are such caring, hospitable and fun people and their home is full of good energy, laughter and life. Matt was incredibly patient and encouraging, thanks to him I was able to learn a wide range of practical skills, some of them old, nearly forgotten crafts. I also had the opportunity to lesrn so much about the local nature and wildlife, the community and sustainable agriculture and so much more. The tasks like feeding the animals, preparing firewood or harvesting vegetables never felt boring as there was a big diversity in tasks every day. Every day the hands-on work felt super rewarding, especially when seeing the day’s results like harvested carrots or butchered chicken used to make a delicious dinner or even myself getting the opportunity with helping to bake Pumkin Pies. Both Matt and Rachelle are excellent cooks, turning their homegrown food into heavenly meals. It was just such a privilege to experience the yearly PumkinTour, Farmers Market, Thanksgiving, Halloween and life on the farm with them and to gain insight into their plans and visions for the projects on the farm. Thank you, Matt and Rachelle, so much for the kindness, laughs and everything you taught me. I couldn’t have asked for a better first WWOOFing experience and left with so many new skills, fond memories, feeling inspired a...
