What is WWOOF®?

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 wonderful time at the Wellness Ranch with Diane and the girls who were there at the same time as me. I was there during the horse-riding camp season, and honestly, I couldn’t have picked a better time to visit. I absolutely loved everything about those three weeks — waking the girls up for breakfast, doing groundwork with the horses, campfires with the kids, and going on trail rides every day (and sometimes even a surprise evening ride with Lee, Diane’s son, or Mikaela, her granddaughter). Everyone was absolutely wonderful! We also had the chance to visit Rocky Mountain House and attend the local wagon race. One thing is certain: I left with a heart full of happiness and so many wonderful memories. If the opportunity comes up, I would not hesitate for a second to go back. Diane, thank you for your endless generosity and for everything you did for us.

Thanks Ivan for this stay! It was a real pleasure stopping by your place. It has a nice, lively 'auberge espagnole' feel to it, which makes it really fun and enjoyable. Looking forward to staying in touch!

J’ai passé une très belle expérience chez eux ! Je me suis sentie à l’aise dès mon arrivée grâce à leur accueil chaleureux, leur générosité et leur bienveillance. J’ai vraiment apprécié partager leur quotidien, découvrir leurs projets et donner un coup de main au jardin et dans la serre. Une expérience humaine que je garderai avec plaisir en mémoire. Je continuerai à suivre les avancées du jardin, de la serre et de tous leurs beaux projets ! Je recommande cette expérience sans hésiter ! 🍓

This was my first woofing experience and I could not have asked for a better start. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. Suzanne and Luis are incredibly welcoming, generous, and create a wonderfully warm, family-like atmosphere. You get your own room with view to the sea and bathroom. I helped weeding the garden, cutting bushes, preparing the garden for the winter. I enjoyed working there. The food was amazing—every single meal was a delight, made with so much care. What I cherished most were our daily conversations; sharing stories and ideas over tea or dinner. If you get the chance to stay here, take it! I couldn't have asked for better hosts, and I leave with wonderful memories. Thank you for everything, Suzanne and Luis.

I had such a great time at the Brew Creek Farm! The workday is excellent organised and don’t get me started on how beautiful this place and the accommodation is! I learned a lot about farming and caring for plants. Even though the farm is remote there are a few beautiful hikes you can do without a car. And through the amazing adventures Paul took us on, I got to experience the area. I highly recommend it! Thank you for everything!

Pauline et César nous ont accueilli dans leur famille pendant 1 semaine et nous n’avions plus envie de partir! Les journées étaient bien organisées, les repas délicieux et nous avons appris beaucoup sur la ferme florale et la confection des tisanes et bouquets auprès de passionné·es, c’était une expérience enrichissante et humaine plus que mémorable! Merci pour tout et à très bientôt :)

Having stayed at a few different places now, I can honestly say this has been my absolute favourite WWOOFing experience so far! Jana and Jimmy are fantastic hosts and always made sure that I felt comfortable. The accommodation was perfect and the whole atmosphere made me feel right at home from day one. Furthermore, the other WWOOFers/pickers were great people and I always had a great time with them! If you get the chance to WWOOF here, grab it! Thanks for everything!

I would like to thank Nancy and Richard for everything they have done for me. I felt at home and learned to appreciate being away from home and finding peace within oneself. I recommend this experience to everyone.

Nous garderons un très bon souvenir des 10 jours passés dans la Coop Jardinons. Au-delà d'être un petit coin de paradis, cela nous a permis de rencontrer de belles personnes qui nous ont beaucoup appris. Bricoler, jardiner, récolter, s'occuper des animaux.. les tâches étaient très variées, interessantes et assez physiques (facile de s'endormir le soir ;)) Autonomie et indépendance sont recommandées pour les repas, les tâches pendant le travail et en dehors. Merci Jasmin pour ton accueil, ta flexibilité, les discussions full interessantes et parties d'échecs :) Au plaisir de se revoir!🌱

My stay at Julia's place felt like magic.. I felt like I was living in "Practical Magic" (if you know that movie, you know the vibe ;) ). The days were filled with so much laughter and dance, singing, moving your body and real work - a good balance for my body & brain. I felt almost an instant connection with Julia - she laughed and cried with me, we worked hard together and then relaxed together. I took care of the garden, made a mushroom bed, learned more about permaculture and then relaxed in the sauna, swam in the waterfall and rolled around on the ground. Wherever I went, I always felt a little bit embarrassed and afraid to express myself to the extent to which I wanted to express myself but here...? I would start humming and Julia joined, I would squeal and laugh, and she would too. I never felt more free to sing and dance and just... BE. It takes a certain type of courage and vulnerability to really be how you want to be - without masks and old stories, to show up and truly take care of the land and the property. But if you dare... then you are in for a wonderful ride. So thankful for the most gorgeous, eerie, mysterious week of my life - where I was not only welcomed to the property but also a retreat that was held here! I came here alone but left with a group of wonderful people, friendships and connections.

I was able to learn and experience many different kinds of work, such as weeding, taking care of plants, and cleaning and organizing. Robyn was always very kind and welcoming, and I had a wonderful time staying here. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place, and I especially enjoyed swimming in the ocean on my days off. The people on the island were also very friendly, and I had many opportunities to communicate with different people. It was a really valuable and memorable experience for me. Thank you so much, Robyn, for everything!

Hello everyone, To start off: I originally planned to stay at Little Tribune Farm for a maximum of three weeks to see more of Vancouver Island. However, I fell in love with the place almost immediately and received such a warm welcome that I knew right away I wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. As the longest-staying WWOOFer, I ended up spending eight weeks on Hornby Island, and looking back, it was truly one of the best times of my life. I owe this unforgettable experience primarily to Nikki and Stu. Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality, your warmth, and for always being there for me. After these two months, I felt like a true part of the family. It’s hard to put into words just how much that meant to me. Both the farm and the entire island are absolutely gorgeous. The work was incredibly varied and a lot of fun. There were always exciting projects going on, from building and repairing to gardening. I especially appreciated how much my personal interests were taken into account, my main focus was on carpentry and construction, such as building stairs, gates, and fences. Later on, I also had the chance to help out in the blueberry field. There’s always something to do on a farm, which made it even better that on sunny days, heading to the beach was the main priority. :) The balance between work and relaxation was simply perfect. So for everyone who is looking for a truly special WWOOFing experience, I can whole-heartedly recommend Little Tribune Farm!
