Thanks, Kathy! I know WWOOF, we've hosted lots of WWOOFERS over the years. What I'm looking for is "WWOOF List," as our applicants for WOOFING at our farm are coming fewer and fewer inbetween and always from folks who are using outdated WWOOF books. Which tells me that we probably aren't on a 'list' any longer, and yet we seem to be on every list that we know of. So..HELP!!
Thanks, though! -Allan
WWOOF is Willing Workers on Organic Farms, though I think they now have a
slightly updated acronym, something like World Wide Opportunities on
Organic Farms. It's a list of organic farms world wide who operate in such
a way that they welcome visitors in exchange for room and board. My
daughter WWOOFed her way around the world when she was 19. Requirements
vary widely, from 3 to oh, say, 12 hours a day of labor required by the
hosting farm. In India it was only 3 hours but they also had to pay a
little something, and the rest of the day they could study yoga or
meditation or Thai yoga or herbs (it was an herb farm). In Italy on the
other hand she worked very long days but a lot of it was cushy work, so it
still wasn't bad. She did a lot of sheepherding and olive-picking there.
You pay a little to join their list, then you can see descriptions and
photos from farms all over creation and sign up with them for varying
lengths of stay. Great way to travel! Cheers, Kathy

Paul - When you say "woofing list," what, precisely, do you mean? -Allan
