Do you dream of becoming an organic farmer? Maybe, while you’re wasting the day in a cubicle, you dream of quitting your corporate life and spending all day outside digging in dirt. If only you could find a way to support yourself…

WWOOF stands for Word Wide Opportunities on  Organic Farms. It is a program that links volunteer farmers to organic farms looking for labor. Volunteers–called WWOOFers–are paid with accommodation and food at the farm, not money. They also get extensive, first-hand knowledge on organic farming techniques. Volunteers typically work half a day and pitch in with any chores as needed. Potential WWOOFers choose from more than 700 host farms in the U.S.

If you’re looking for a way to escape the cube, or maybe you want to vacation and help local farmers at the same time, consider being a WWOOFer.
