Applying to be a WWOOF Host


Guidelines for Applicants

This is an exchange, in return for your visitor's assistance on your organic property, you provide adequate meals and clean, dry accommodation. The exchange is based on half a day's help which can range from 4-6 hours depending on the situation. Specifics such as the length of stay and any other important details should be arranged when the volunteer initially contacts you. It is often helpful to talk to the volunteer when they phone to determine their suitability to your situation. As a host you have the right to decline accommodation at your discretion.
