The Origin of WWOOF
Initially, the name WWOOF stood for Working Weekends on Organic Farms. However, it was changed to the abbreviation of “Willing workers on Organic Farms” in 1982 under the agreement of WWOOF’s representatives as the working days were no more limited to weekends.
WWOOF is a global network that connects organic farms with volunteers. It is an activity (or a program) that expands opportunities for cultural exchange and education, coexists with nature, and creates a sustainable global society based on trust with no financial exchange.
