Why I became a WWOOF Host

We have been hosts for many years. We enjoy meeting people from around the world and love sharing our permaculture, organic horticultural lifestyle with others.

Organic/Biological methods we use

Certified organic for 40 years, small intensive horticulture cropping, mixed orchard. Most farm work done by hand, weed management through hand weeding, mulching, encouraging living weed control such as violets, alpine strawberries. Mowing and brush cutting is also an integral part of weed control.
