WWOOF New Zealand

Living and Learning the Organic Way

took place on the 4th May 2008, Canterbury. Gratitude goes to Honey Anderson for hosting the event, and to Jim O'Gorman, Nicola Galloway and Holger Kahl for running the workshops. This event is a celebration of organics, people, food, the land and of course WWOOF!

Willing Workers on Organic Farms - WWOOF, is a world wide network where volunteers ("WWOOFers") live and learn on organic properties. WWOOF volunteers offer their help on the farm and in return they learn about biological farming. Food and accommodation is provided. Willing Workers on Organic Farms began in New Zealand in 1974 and there are many similar WWOOF organisations around the world.

WWOOFers live with families and get hands-on experience with organic farming, permaculture, earth building, cooking, crafts, wine, cheese and bread making, alternative energy...
Hosts appreciate having help with projects on their land and sharing their lifestyles with others. You can read a report on WWOOFing written by two WWOOFers. WWOOF is a enjoyable, educational and safe way to travel and get to know the people in the country. WWOOF is an intercultural experience that promotes understanding and tolerance. WWOOFers like the idea of being able to give something back to the country they are travelling in.

A city girl's story about WWOOFing around New Zealand

Richard, an excellent English WWOOFer who enjoys WWOOFing so much he's gone as far as getting the license plates to prove it! Richard started his New Zealand adventures in a Volvo but this car didn't survive after hitting a rock near to Akaroa. Bit of a waste of a nice car but it had served well by runningfaultlessly through most of the South Island for many months. Luckilythe plates survived to live another day so are now fixed onto thisLandcruiser. Richard is now travelling through the North Island, and has clocked up 16 WWOOF stays since November 2006. Richard says, "Most of the last 5 months have been at Hohepa Farm, Hawke's Bay with just a short break of a week up in Northland recently. (Thanks Grant & Bonnie, great hosts). Still haven't really decided on an area to live in, but perhaps can still be mobile. I just bought a 6x4 tipper chassis and will slowly be converting it to a big housetruck. Look out for the WWOOF plates on this". He's got his residency in NZ now and is WWOOFing as a way of discovering areas he may want to settle in...
