Federation of WWOOF Organisations

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

The founding idea of WWOOF is to facilitate exchanges around sustainable living and organic agriculture in pursuit of living in harmony with nature. WWOOF provides a way for people to learn about organic food, farming, and culture. In doing so it brings together people who share similar values and philosophies. WWOOF aims to provide helping hands to its hosts and at the same time allows visitors to learn what it means to grow one’s own food sustainably.

The WWOOF network includes approximately 130 Countries, 12,000 Hosts and 100,000 WWOOFers.

In 2012, the Federation of WWOOF Organisations (FoWO) was created to act as a democratic organisation for national WWOOF groups to work together worldwide. FoWO’s mission is to unite, promote, protect and support the WWOOF movement around the world.
