It's a great program. I would try to do it abroad if you are going to do it. As you know, they have them all over the world. I had a friend who worked in Cuba for a year and absolutely loved it. Ive never really heard too many bad stories, just make sure you are honest with your family (farm family) about your intentions and habits. Many are anti-drug but some aren't

Best of luck to you!

And btw most WWOOF families wont pay you anything. It's a volunteer thing in exchange from room and board and cooked meals. Sometimes they will give you a bit of an "allowance" but I wouldnt count on it.

Thanks for the input.  Why do you suggest going abroad-just because its a bigger change of scenery?

And I'm not looking to get paid anything (although one am I interested in offers a 100$ a week stipend)...I just want good fresh food, a place to stay, cool people would be a big plus, and to experience and learn what it takes to be self-sustaining

how is it slave work? that's so fucking ignorant

I dont see how being a farmer= being a slave

These people who run the farms bring complete strangers into their families and into their homes. They feed you, they give you a free place to stay, and generally quite a bit of personal freedom.

It's a pretty kickass experience

yeah

and you work on their farm

it's not like they're doing it because they think you're such a cool guy



you're not a farmer,

just a guy working on the farmer's farm.
