    Why I became a WWOOF Host

    I joined wwoofing as Wwoofing was created to support organic producers with the high labour costs in the production of Certified Organic food. Also, as a farmer, I’ve never had the opportunity to travel due to workload, which means we have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. We also wanted to educate young people on the issues facing humanity, global warming, deforestation etc.
