Organic Farming:The New Vacation

In 1971, Sue Coppard worked as a secretary in London. When she was child she lived in countryside but when she grew up, she went to the city. Sue also missed the countryside. So she spent her weekends there and do volunteer works with a small group of people.
Sue put a small ad in a magazine, for doing volunteer work in farm. The volunteer program grew quickly, and she started asking for people to help out. Some of original volunteers started WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic farm) to help other volunteers and farmers. Today, at least 50 countries have WWOOF organization.
Now, many people and travelers wish to live and work on farm for a long time. And with WWOOF they can stay on farms for weeks or even months. Many travelers use WWOOFing as a way to visit new countries.
WWOOF is different from place to place. For example in Ecuador, teaches volunteers how to grow plantains and yucca but in Japan they learn how to grow rice.
Finaly, It’s good for all of us to do volunteer works on farm and spend our energy on.
