What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in Sweden

WWOOF Sweden is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Sweden and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

At Peterslund there’s a system in place, and it makes everything, the work, the social time, run very smoothly. Which makes the days fly by! It’s been immensely inspiring for me as a hopefully future farmer to see a farm working this well. Malin, Martin and Sarah are incredible hosts – very attentive, thoughtful and kind. There are always a bunch of interesting people to talk to at Peterslund. Furthermore, it’s lovely living in the woods surrounded by lots of wildlife. Thank you, hardworking people of Peterslund, for your super high-quality veges – I’ll miss munching on them. I hope to see you again sometime – I might come back to learn more:D

Ich habe mich bei Linn sehr wohl gefühlt und hatte eine schöne Zeit. Linn war stets um das Wohlempfinden bemüht und hat Empfehlungen für die Freizeit gegeben. Die Arbeitsaufgaben wurden von Linn gut erklärt. Aufgaben waren z.B. Blaubeeren pflücken im Wald, die Hausfassade neu streichen und kochen. Kinder sind bei Linn sehr willkommen und sie hat einen sehr netten Umgang mit ihnen.

Es war sehr schön. Per und Regine sind wirklich super nett! Es war meine erste Schweden- Reise und ich bin sehr froh, daß ich dort war. Ich habe über 20 Jahre davon geträumt, endlich mal nach Schweden zu reisen und endlich ist es mir gelungen! Und meine Erwartungen sind sogar noch übertroffen worden. Sie haben mich wirklich aufgenommen, wie ein Familienmitglied. Und sie haben mir sehr geholfen, für meine weitere Reise alles zu organisieren. Und sie haben auch sehr gut gekocht! Also ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, Per und Regine zu besuchen und bei ihnen wwoofen zu gehen. Ich bin wirklich sehr froh, daß ich sie kennengelernt habe und hoffe sehr, daß ich wieder mal bei Ihnen wwoofen kann vielleicht nächsten Sommer! Ich hoffe, daß ich nächstes Jahr vielleicht mit meiner Tochter nach Schweden fahren kann! Liebe Grüße Judith

My brother and I absolutely loved our stay with Linn. Linn and her partner were so welcoming to us. We shared meals together (that were delicious and vegetarian) and got to know one another. The tasks were very reasonable and varied which we appreciated. Linn’s home is also in a peaceful and beautiful area with many trails to hike along. We hope to return and recommend you visit! Thank you, Linn!

It was my first wwoofing experience and to be honest i was a bit nervous before coming to the farm. However, just in one day i felt very comfortable in the farm thanks to Wilfried. Wilfried is a very kind and friendly person. I asked lots of questions about tasks (cooking food, dealing with customers and guests, feeding the chickens vs.), he was always patient and nonjugmental when answering them even though his mind was busy with other things. In our free time we went to a bicyle ride together and he was very eager to show me around and explaining the living in Dalarna. It was a beatiful 9 days for me and I got lots of inspirations for my future plans. Thanks alot.

Tim and Nina have truly created their own little paradise in the Swedish countryside. In this busy and hectic world, it was such a relief to spend time in this peaceful place. Waking up surrounded by trees felt like a dream. The jobs we did on the farm were really interesting and varied, so time just flew by. They explained everything so well that it was perfectly clear what needed to be done. They also took the time to explain new things. However, we must warn anyone coming to Rinnefors: once you’ve left, vegetarian food will never taste quite as good again. Every day we ate something different, prepared with fresh vegetables from the garden. As Tim and Nina are very open-minded, it was a pleasure to spend time with them. But we also had plenty of time to ourselves whenever we wanted. We would highly recommend Rinnefors to other WWOOFers. You won’t regret it!

I had a very nice time at Ändebols Gard since it is a super idyllic and cozy place which hosts so many nice volunteers and super kind people! You have the opportunity to learn a lot here, whether by running the farm shop, the cafe or maintaining the fields. Katarina is super enthusiastic and experienced which makes it very nice to work with her, Christian and Malou, working there most time of the year, are super great so you can ask them pretty much everything about the farm and Alexander, the gardener, has so much knowledge which he loves to share by explaining and showing every task to the volunteers. I would recommend Ändebols Gard to you in case you are very motivated and enthusiastic about getting your hands dirty on the fields, helping with everything around gardening and like to be part of the team which means to cook meals for a lot of people after working together until around 4pm which is why you should enjoy this remote place and this kind of work rather than perhaps wanting to travel to the city everyday. In return you get rewarded with great Fikas with fresh sourdough bread, locally produced milk and LOADS OF COFFEE as well as opportunities to go on hikes, swimming or picking blueberries and so on. Another highlight for me was preparing some flowers for the cafe and shop with Katarina which was super fun. I am very thankful for all these inspirations and opportunities to learn I got here. Thank you so much Katarina & Magnus!

I spent two weeks in Hans' farm and it was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have imagined a better first WWOOFing experience. Everything was perfect, from the very first day when I immediately felt at home seeing the group baking and talking in the kitchen to the last day when I cried on the bus to Bromölla (with joy at having spent these two incredible weeks). I loved the energy of the group, the meals Hans prepared (especially the morning porridge and the kanelbullar), the gardening work, which was interesting to discover for me as a city woman. Every morning, I couldn’t wait to take care of the horses. It's not necessary to have already worked with horses in the past, but you absolutely must not be afraid of them because they are young and unpredictable horses. I also enjoyed playing board games with Hans and sometimes with the group of wwoofers . Hans enjoyed spending time with us and sharing his experiences and that’s what made my stay even more perfect. He did not only welcome us to work on his farm. He taught me some swedish words, expressions and ways of life (fika, osthyvel, Candies saturday...) and that was also one of my expectations for this wwoofing. I recommend this farm to all those who wish to live a group experience, close to nature, learn how to get good products from it, discover swedish traditions and go out of your comfort zone without ever reaching the discomfort. Tusen tack Hans. Vi ses

We had a wonderful WWOOF experience with Rika’s and Aaron’s lovely family! From the very beginning, we received such a warm welcome and immediately felt comfortable. The family was very friendly and open, and we were invited to join them on some trips to the nearby lakes and to Gothenburg. The farm is absolutely beautiful and in such a peaceful location. We really enjoyed the daily routine. It was a perfect mix between farm-work and having enough free time to explore the surroundings (eg on walks with the dog), relax and enjoy our little tiny house. During our two weeks, we got to try out lots of different things, from building a chicken house and harvesting sea buckthorn to working on the landscaping making honey. We were able to try everything ourselves and learned a lot, especially about using new tools (eg a nailgun). During the daily fikas, we had some great conversations with Rika and therefore also got to know a lot about the Swedish forest and nature in general. We really had a great time and experienced so much during our stay. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend this place to other WWOOFers!

We had a wonderful and unforgettable week here! Right from the start, we felt warmly welcomed and immediately at home. Unfortunately, the time went much too quickly! We really enjoyed working on the farm, and it was lovely to eat with the family every day. We particularly enjoyed the open and relaxed atmosphere and the many great conversations and moments we shared. We even had the chance to take part in a village festival at the weekend and were invited to join a climate protest in Stockholm. We felt truly appreciated at all times. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience, the delicious food, your time and your warmth! We’re taking lots of good memories home with us and would definitely come back any time. :)

While staying at Åkerby gård, I learned so much from Jenny and Sebastian. Besides helping them with the daily farm and garden maintenance, I got the chance to assist in the further food processing of fruits and vegetables. Whether cooking traditional Swedish food or baking delicious regional cakes, my two-week stay on the farm helped me to spark my curiosity in traditional cooking and baking. Furthermore, the keeping of the goats and bees made me fall in love with ecological farming. As I got a deeper understanding of Scandinavia, Sebastian and Jenny really helped me to have an immersive experience of the Swedish culture due to their historical interest. I wish them the best from my heart for their future!
