I saw a couple replies in the life goals thread that mentioned WWOOF (worldwide opportunities on organic farms). We've been a host farm for a few years now and I've meant to ask if there are others on RT who have participated as hosts or volunteers and how it worked out. We've had some good help and guests we've enjoyed and some not so much. But we get better each year at being clear with people before they come so last year we only had people who knew what they were getting into. And from the stories our wwoofers have told, I guess the host farms are as different from each other as the wwoofers.
