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.

I had such a wonderful time at the farm. I slept in the guestroom, which was very cozy (but the firehouse is great too! ;) ) and already felt like home on the first day. Lowissa and Marcus were trustful right from the first second and gave me so many interesting tasks, including building furniture, weeding, chopping wood, making food from herbs, taking care of the sheep and a lot more. We had a lot of good conversations, funny moments and during all that time I learnt so much about farming, politics, culture and even myself. Lowissa and Marcus are very intelligent, patient and judge nobody for anything. I also spent some time with their neighbors, friends and Norna, that were all as kind, funny and with an open mind as themselves. I can highly recommend wwoofing at their place :) Thank you so much for everything, hope to see you again some day <3

The family is very welcoming. They have a lot of knowledge and experience in farming and they are more than happy to share it. I can recommend a visit to them.

Lotte was an excellent host. She is incredibly welcoming and brings you into the culture of Sweden. She goes out of her way to show you the local spots and she is very knowledgeable about the history as well! The work is great, and she always has her 10 o’clock fika! And Lotte is the best baker, and a great cook! The housing she provides is beautiful and cozy and the land she is on is a dream. She is close to many woods, water, and a nice restaurant. You can always find a place to swim whether it is the lake, river, or sea! This was my first time wwoofing and I am grateful that I got to do that with Lotte.

I had the most wonderful first WWOOF experience with Britta and Victor! I had no previous gardening experience, and they were super kind and patient as I learned. The entire time I was with them, I felt incredibly welcomed into their home and family and sincerely enjoyed getting to know them and their kids. WWOOFers get to stay in a cozy cabin with a beautiful view, and it's easy to access local cities during downtime. Britta and Victor's farm is truly a magical place :)

I enjoyed my time with the young family and valued the time at their place. It was nice exchanging with Philip about his decision to settle down in Sweden and his time there by himself. I also got to see how Swedish people spend their free time on regular basis. Furthermore I got to see a beautiful little homestead of a couple from the Netherlands and got to connect with a Couple that got to Sweden from Switzerland. The farm has a long way to go but I think they're on the right path and I wish good luck with the obstacles ahead. It was a nice experience that showed me some new perspectives on things and I can only recommend the farm to other Woofers.

It was my first woofing experience and ist was great. I shared a room with another woofer, could enjoy very good food and liked my tasks. Every day working in the garden, the cats visiting me, was interesting and I learnd a lot about fermenting, baking bread and to plant different kind of vegetables. There was plenty of time to have a walk, go biking or visiting towns arround. I really can recommend this woofing place and felt welcome. I even learnd swedish witch I liked to do. My host Iris appretiates the help and was very interested in the needs of every single woofer.

I stayed at Buters Eko for the entire month of June and enjoyed my time so much that I would have loved to stay even longer. Gunnar and Aina are well organized and really care about making sure volunteers don't work too much. The weekly plan makes it easy to keep track of tasks and meals, which works really well when there are several people in the house. During my stay, we planted vegetable seedlings, sowed new crops, weeded the fields, and started harvesting delicious strawberries, salad and garlic. I especially appreciated the variety of tasks, so the work never became too exhausting or repetitive. It always felt meaningful because we could clearly see the difference we were making, and I felt truly appreciated. There are four rooms for WWOOFers in the house, in addition to Gunnar's, so I had the chance to meet wonderful people from all over the world. We cooked together in the evenings, played games, or watched TV, and we always had a lot of fun. Gunnar even took us to celebrate a traditional Swedish Midsummer, which was a wonderful experience. He is a lovely and funny guy, who can tell the same joke every day again and laugh about it himself most. I felt so welcome that I really want to come back someday soon.

What a wonderful place. Where to begin? This farm is located in the south of Gotland, one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the blessing to spend time. There are secret beaches, ancient churches, and glorious nature all around. The farm itself is big, beautiful and innovative, and the team who runs it is marvelous. I was very excited to see so many dynamic ecological systems in place here, like large-scale rainwater collection and full-circle, zero-waste composting. Thank you so much to Alma and Brör for such an educational experience, for always making sure that the other volunteer and I had something interesting to do, and for taking the time to teach us all sorts of gardening skills even when I know you were very busy. We were served staff lunch from the restaurant (made with produce from the farm), which was always wonderful, and Alma made us breakfast in the mornings, which was delicious and so kind. The other gardeners and crew were also very welcoming and fun, and we got to spend lots of time with them while working, so we always had people to talk to about gardening and life. I also got to eat the best melon I have ever tasted here (: The other volunteer and I lived in our own small house, and it was very clean and in a beautiful location. Thank you again for the truly wonderful experience!

I had a wonderful two and a half weeks at Säljgåden with Lizzie and Henrik! They were so welcoming and kind, and I enjoyed having conversations with them about the farm, life in Sweden, and our travels. Norret is such a beautiful area and a great place if you like nature! During my two weeks, it was quite busy on the farm as they were preparing for Midsommar and busy with farm work. However, they always made sure that I was okay and gave me a variety of tasks to help out on the farm. I got to help with the animals, assist in the distillery, weed the garden, and more. It was a great way to learn more about Sweden and organic farming! There was never too much work and enough time to explore the area. I loved getting to visit during Midsommar, and Lizzie and Henrik were kind enough to include me in their family activities. It was very nice getting to meet their sons and extended family, and we had lovely evenings in their cabin overlooking a beautiful lake. I am so grateful for my time on the farm and would love to visit again! Tack så mycket !!

We had such a lovely time with Sebastian, Jenny and Syrrhan. During the week we were with them we discovered so many things and are grateful for that. They are really kind and always made sure everything was okay for us. If you have the chance, don't miss the opportunity to go in Sebastian and jenny's farm. On top of that, all the animals are so kind and cute !

I really enjoyed my two-week stay here. This was the first time I did WWOOF, and I chose the perfect place. I really feel welcome and enjoyed spending time with other WWOOFers and Gunnar (and cute cuts ) after work. There's nothing I can complain about!!

Ma 1ère expérience de woofeuse est une réussite grâce à mes hôtes: j'ai adoré partager leur vie quotidienne au rythme suédois. J'ai beaucoup aimé les aider pour l'aménagement du jardin. J'ai également pu visiter les alentours et observer de nombreux oiseaux. Je reviendrai pour un autre chantier 😉. Tack så mycket !
