Cheap Cruising

Help the earth and get free lodging at international organic farms. The World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms helps link workers and farms. Country or regional based WWOOF’s charge a small fee to the farm and volunteers. In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts provide food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles. I checked the for North American and France WWOOF sites their fees start at $20 and $22 USD respectfully.

Organic farms

◊ provide hands-on experience of organic growing and other learning opportunities where possible.

◊ provide clean dry accommodation and adequate food for their volunteers.

Volunteers

◊ need a genuine interest in learning about organic growing, country living or ecologically sound lifestyles.

◊ help their hosts with daily tasks for an agreed number of hours.

I’ve never taken advantage of this opportunity but I’d love to hear from anyone that has.
