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.

Super consigliato per chi vuole scoprire il mondo dell'agricoltura a 360 gradi. Qui ho avuto l'opportunità di imparare tantissimi aspetti del mestiere e competenze pratiche. Inoltre Tomas e Lucia sono due persone fantastiche che mi hanno accolto a braccia aperte e contribuito a rendere quest'esperienza indimenticabile. Consiglio assolutamente!

We had an unforgettable precocious week at the farm and community. The tasks were cleaning the ground for animals , rearrange the plants, plan salads, harvest the vegetables, and of course cooking and cleaning our community. Walking Jack Russells and Obi in the evening was also exceptional experience when the temperature was not extreme. Apart from hard to sleep in the room temperature (approximately 30-33 degrees with a fan and opening windows ) , we loved the stay and people around us!! In summary , Riccardo , you are doing great work to bring the community together ! Thank you for everything ;)

This farm was my first experience at WWOOF and it exceeded my expectations. I made the best decision to help this amazing family out. I learnt a lot about farming and animals, had absolute amazing time with their 3 sons (who I will miss very much) and learnt a bit Italian from the children that came for the summer camp. The family is really sweet and welcomed me with open arms and mind. They really made me feel like I was part of them!

Ciao Miky & Axel! Hello everyone! TITTANNIKÀ is a beautiful and very special place. It gives you the opportunity to dive into the daily work of taking care and maintaining a Mediterranean botanical garden and also shows you how to grow plants in a subtropical climate and environment. Miky and Axel are doing their best to make sure you have a pleasant time on the farm, not only by respecting your needs but also introducing you into the local island culture, nature and cuisine of Pantelleria to the point where you start to feel a little bit like a local. In my opinion this farm is also a very good place for learning and practicing Italian and if you already speak Italian it's for sure an advantage, but English is also sufficient. Overall, I had a great time at TITTANNIKÀ – I learned a lot about farming, growing plants and the lifestyle in a Southmediterranean environment, met many nice people and had incredible evenings with Miky, Axel and the other WWOOFers. I really want to thank you, Miky & Axel, for giving me the chance to experience the magic of TITTANNIKÀ and Pantelleria! All the best to you and see you! :)

Ciao a tutti. La mia esperienza durante queste tre settimane è stata semplicemente fantastica. Fin dal primo giorno sono stato accolto con grande affetto e rispetto e, in poco tempo, mi sono sentito parte della famiglia. Gli host sono sempre stati disponibili a insegnare, a fare due chiacchiere e ad aiutarmi ogni volta che ne avevo bisogno. Siccome sto imparando l'italiano, è stata un'ottima opportunità per migliorarlo, nonostante la difficoltà iniziale dovuta al dialetto veneto. Il lavoro è sempre stato ben organizzato, equo e svolto in un ambiente molto piacevole. Oltre ad aver imparato tante cose, ho avuto l'opportunità di conoscere meglio la cultura italiana, condividere momenti speciali e creare amicizie che porterò con me per tutta la vita. Sono davvero molto grato per la fiducia che mi avete dato, per le conversazioni, per i pasti condivisi e per tutti i momenti trascorsi insieme. Questa è stata la mia prima esperienza con WWOOF e, sinceramente, non avrebbe potuto essere migliore. Consiglio questo host a occhi chiusi a chiunque stia cercando un vero scambio culturale, un ambiente familiare, rispetto e un'esperienza indimenticabile. Grazie di cuore per tutto! Spero che le nostre strade si incrocino di nuovo in futuro. Porterò sempre con me splendidi ricordi e un grande affetto per tutti voi.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Brian war für uns etwas ganz Besonderes und wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Wir hatten das große Glück, etwas mehr als einen Monat bei ihm verbringen zu dürfen. Sein Zuhause ist ein Ort der Ruhe, der Natur und des Wohlfühlens. Der wunderschöne Garten, die friedliche Umgebung und die Möglichkeit, sich frei zu entfalten, haben unseren Aufenthalt zu einer unvergesslichen Erfahrung gemacht. Brian ist ein außergewöhnlicher Mensch: zuverlässig, herzlich, offen, hilfsbereit und unglaublich vertrauensvoll. Vom ersten Tag an hat er uns das Gefühl gegeben, willkommen zu sein. Er öffnet Fremden nicht nur die Türen seines Hauses, sondern begegnet ihnen mit echtem Vertrauen und großer Wertschätzung – eine Eigenschaft, die heutzutage leider selten geworden ist. Wir sind tief beeindruckt von seiner Gelassenheit, seiner positiven Art und der Selbstverständlichkeit, mit der er auf Vertrauensbasis lebt. Die Welt wäre ein besserer Ort, wenn es mehr Menschen wie Brian gäbe. Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Zeit und das entgegengebrachte Vertrauen. Wir können einen Aufenthalt bei Brian aus voller Überzeugung empfehlen und hoffen sehr eines Tages wieder nach Casoli zu kommen.

Ho trascorso un bellissimo soggiorno a Calcina Selveto, curato con grande attenzione da Chiara! Prima di tutto, grazie a questo luogo semplicemente affascinante: quelle meravigliose montagne che circondano le casette e l’orto. Ma soprattutto, grazie a Chiara per la sua cura e la sua benevolenza. Lei è già molto impegnata per il benessere dei suoi bei cavalli, ma si è presa cura di me con grande premura. Si informava sempre se avessi bisogno di qualcosa e trovava sempre il tempo per scambiare due parole con me a proposito del paese. Ho avuto anche la fortuna di fare incontri luminosi e di conoscere persone brillanti e modeste, pronte a mettere i loro talenti al servizio di un progetto agricolo ottimale, rispettoso dell’essere umano. Sono più che felice di aver vissuto questa esperienza indimenticabile!

I personally had a very nice and wholesome experience at Il Cavallone. I quickly felt embraced by Marzia and Angelo as a part of their family with a good balance of fun activities and work throughout. I highly recommend the Wwoofing experience here if you're someone who likes a mix of agricultural work and general tidiness and management.

Che dire, dopo ormai un paio di esperiena, ho aperto l'app e trovato una richiesta di invito...così è iniziata l'avventura da Renata e Massimo. Mi veniva chiesta una mano per dei lavori di muratura e ho accettato. ​Arrivato alla cascina sono rimasto a bocca aperta. Cavalli, asini, pecore, cani, gatti, galline, maiali e non solo! In questa avventura ho incontrato altri WWOOFer e persone impegnate nel progetto di Renata, ed ognuna a modo suo mi ha dato qualcosa. Consigliatissimo! E se andate nel fine settimana potreste essere fortunati come me e trovarvi al tavolo dell'agriturismo con gli altri clienti a mangiare tutte le prelibatezze che Renata prepara.

Ho passato due settimane bellissime al Vintlerhof dove mi sono sentita accolta come in una grande famiglia. Il lavoro è stato interessante e sempre vario, i pasti abbondanti e sempre ricchi di verdure fresche. Miriam, Mirco e la piccola Linda sono delle persone meravigliose in grado di accogliere e aiutare anche i meno fortunati. Consigliatissimo!

My time spent with Gianluca was wonderful! He along with all of his family and friends were beyond welcoming, and made me feel so at home. He was a great teacher and very patient with all of the volunteers. The accommodations were wonderful, very clean very nice and as a young woman I felt extremely safe which is something that is incredibly important. Getting to have your own room and a beautiful kitchen to cook in was fantastic. The work was fun and enjoyable, and very manageable. My lack of comprehensive Italian did not negatively harm my experience, and getting to learn some Italian was a bonus, if you plan ahead speaking Italian would only improve the experience. This was the highlight of my summer and overall year. I can’t recommend wwoofing here enough, truly a sweet experience! 🐝🐝🐝

I had a wonderful time staying with Iacopo, I can absolutely recommend! He was really welcoming and always made sure I had everything I needed and felt at home. I enjoyed delicious food every day, learned about natural winemaking and got to taste the best wines!! I also got to see some beautiful towns in Umbria and he showed me some incredible local spots. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience this is the perfect place. Thank you for everything!
