What It’s Like to Volunteer with WWOOF, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms - Eater
"I could tell you about how weird it was that a hostel in Newcastle, Australia made it into the WWOOF directory, and how when I showed up there was no organic garden to tend, only beds to be made and bathrooms to be cleaned. Instead of organic meals I had a meager grocery budget, which I’d spend on beans, toast, and sausage rolls at the gas station, and I slept in a guest bunk. I was the only WWOOF participant there, which was not uncommon on farms, but it felt strange when everyone else was paid hostel staff or guests." - Jaya Saxena
