A big thumbs up to WWOOF - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. This UK registered charity holds a list of organic farms, smallholdings and even gardens that offer food (organic of course) and accommodation in return for working the land. In the word of Blackadder's Lord Flashheart a big Woof Woof from me! The best thing of all, any one can doo-ooo-it! You don't have to know a thing about organic farming, just be eager to learn and not afraid to get your hands dirty. Running since 1971, they must be doing something right. There is a membership fee of £20 (or £30 for a joint membership) and this gives you access to the list to select your farm, contact your host and arrange your stay. You can stay a long weekend or you can stay for the whole summer...perhaps you'll never want to leave!
