What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in Italy

WWOOF Italia is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Italy and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

Caterina y Segundo han sido mis primeros host en WWOOF y no podría haber tenido más suerte:)! He disfrutado mucho de su compañía y de todos los proyectos en los que he colaborado, huerto, los animales, en su cocina... He aprendido muchas cosas y me han hecho sentir parte de su equipo: compartiendo comida excepcional;), sus amistades y una casa llena de detalles. Debo decir también que haber conocido a Nello y Antonio, vecinos del huerto, ha contribuido a que me sintiera una más, quisiera hacer una mención especial a la música de su primo que acompañó el "laboro" de manera muy amena. Resumen: han sido Radicalmente extraordinarios!! Grazie mille sempre e naturalmente a Bobi il gatto cane

Such a great way to start my WWOOFer experience. Ilaria and Duha are incredibly welcoming and friendly. They were very patient and knowledgeable when teaching tasks. I got to experience the vegetables growing process from seed to harvest. Very grateful for them for not only their knowledge but also their generosity in sharing meals and making sure i’m having a great experience.

I stayed at Valerias farm for about ten days and I had a really, really good time. I think Valeria is one of the best hosts you can get. I thought the work was very fair and Valeria always made sure we don’t overwork ourselves. If the work was physically demanding, we only did that for like an hour or so and did something really easy afterwards. Unfortunately I got really sick during my stay, and Valeria was really nice about it and suggested I take a day off and after that I did only really light work. You can eat from all the delicious avocados and oranges in her kitchen and she makes really delicious wine. She buys you everything from the grocery store that you ask for, so you can cook anything you want and make yourself feel at home. During the time off we could always take a car to go places and on the weekends she always suggested really cool activities to do and showed us round the area. With her help I definitely learned a lot about the area that I otherwise wouldn’t have learned! She showed us round some towns, I got to meet her family and friends, we visited a really cool canyon, … I think Valeria took really good care of us and I felt really safe, comfortable and happy on her farm. Thank you Valeria and everyone on the farm <3

Rosario is a person with a big heart, grateful and with a wealth of life experience, creative and inventive. His property is a great project. He built most of it himself and lives with the animals in a loving community and also has Olives, almonds and vegetables sometimes. We work for about four to five hours in the morning and I have free time in the afternoon. Because of his relaxed manner, it doesn't feel like work. From day one, I feel at home. The food is mostly self-produced - eggs from his chickens, milk and cheese from the goats and so on. Also he gets very nice food from some friends - who are shepherds and gardeners. If you want to experience the beautiful Madonie Regional Park, enjoy peace and quiet, very good food and see an alternative lifestyle, this is the place for you, and I highly recommend it. I will definitely come back and visit him again.

Ringrazio Eros e la sua splendida famiglia per avermi ospitato e dato la possibilità di aiutarli nella loro azienda. Fra il caseificio, la stalla e soprattutto gli uliveti ho cercato al meglio di dare il mio contributo lavorando sempre in clima sereno e cordiale. Belle persone come loro rendono il wwoofing sempre un'esperienza piacevole e interessante anche perché si può imparare tanto. Grazie infinite e che la vita vi sorrida sempre

I had a great experience there! The farm is full of life, you learn how to manage a farm with cows and goats, also making local cheese. Anna is very helpful and always available to answer questions. She is an easy going person and makes you feel at home I got to see the farm routine, it is a good start for who is not experienced and want to discover this world, because you learn in a calm environment and not a fast moving or demanding one, so you get to digest the information and the dynamic without being under stress I would recommend to stay at least 10 days since the first couple of days you need first to adapt then the learning curve will be sharp Anna is a great host! Thank you so much again for this experience

Ignazio is an amazing host! I had an incredible experience at Ta Rossa. Everyone around was welcoming me so nicely. Thanks a ton to Holy Controly, I gave him this nick name ;)) as he is a real Manager, always thinking of all and everybody, keeping any kind of upcoming situation under control which is quite important for the cycle of his wonderful place. A funny guy with a big heart! I also wanna thank Nicola, his charismatic father. It was always fun & interesting talking to him. Definitely an unforgettable time for me and my soul 🙏❤️

Splendida esperienza, una comunità meravigliosa.. tanto da imparare e una accoglienza bellissima. Mi sono sentita come in famiglia! Lavorare nella vigna e con gli animali è stato un toccasana, sono andata via con la voglia di tornare presto e con tanta gratitudine per i momenti vissuti. Grazie Lucia, Ugo, Mirjam, Marcello, Filippo, Fabiola, Mara.. e a tutte le meravigliose persone che condividono questo piccolo paradiso di pace e fratellanza :)

This was our first WWOOF experience and it was amazing!!! Monica and Giorgio were so kind, generous and fun to work with. The farm and setting are beautiful and so are the accommodations. We had fun learning to prune olives, baked dessert wine cookies, bottled and labeled wine and many other tasks along with getting to explore the beautiful area. Can’t recommend it enough! Thank you both for such an amazing time!

Nous avons vécu une magnifique expérience chez Enrica 🥰 Enrica et Marcello nous ont chaleureusement accueillis, ce sont des personnes formidables avec qui nous avons beaucoup partagé et beaucoup appris. Nous n’avons pas vu les 3 semaines passer ! Nous avons appris à tailler les vignes avec Isabella qui a pris du temps pour tout nous expliquer et répondre à nos questions, c’était très intéressant. Nous avons eu l’occasion pendant nos jours de repos de découvrir les alentours et de faire de belles balades. L’appartement est très confortable nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. Nous partagions les repas avec Enrica et Marcello, des superbes moments que nous garderons longtemps en mémoire. Nous espérons avoir l'occasion de revenir. Merci pour tout ces beaux moments ❤️
