	OUTPOST MAGAZINE \| Archive \|\| Issue 5 - Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF)

		While you juggle the relative pros and cons of biodynamic fruit farming, herb growing and goat milking, keep in mind that ultimately it is the hosts’ prerogative to decide who comes to their home and for how long.

	PRINT WWOOFing and beyond
		Founded in 1971 by Sue Coppard, a London secretary looking for inexpensive, rewarding short breaks in the countryside, the WWOOF name was later broadened to Willing Workers on Organic Farms (to reflect farmstays longer than a weekend) and more recently to Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (to soothe the concerns of some countries' immigration authorities).
		WWOOF Italia, for example, has grown from 23 host farms in 1999 to 230 in 2005, according to its coordinator, Bridget Matthews.
		One complaint occasionally heard about WWOOFing is that at least in some countries, the farms that accept WWOOFers—read, put up with unpredictable and at times unreliable volunteer labor—include a disproportionate number of "lifestyle" farms run by ex-pats, as opposed to production-oriented family farms more typical of the host country.
