What is WWOOFยฎ?

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 worldโ€™s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in Korea

WWOOF Korea is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Korea 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.

The experience is an eye opener and I particularly love the community โ€œkampongโ€ spirit within the wider neighbourhood. Weโ€™d peeled corns off the cobs for their chicken feed, plucked persimmons and left them out to dry, planted some flower roots and peeled onions for re-planting. It was the interaction with the hosts (cute lovely couple; teacher Kim is also a talented painter!), 3 adorable jindo dogs and the neighbours (random rice cake bbq) that would leave a lasting impression. The farm lies deep in the tranquil mountain; waking up in the natural sunlight and taking a calm peaceful walk with teacher Kim was what I appreciated the most. Thank you for the memories!

I had an amazing stay at Sanan Village, with Serena and the rest of the village. Everyone I met was so nice and welcoming, even with my extremely limited knowledge of korean. Thanks to Serena and Mook, I had translations for morning meetings and really clear explanations for the work needed. And even when not speaking the same language, we managed to communicate quite easily. During my 3 weeks stay I could also enjoy the amazing food cooked at the cafeteria, and I discovered (and loved) many korean dishes ! Minjae (a worker on the farm) even made some delicious baguettes and croissants while I was there! I really enjoyed spending time with the cute chickens, but also the adorable cats and dogs also living on the farm. Thank you so much for this amazing experience, and I hope I will be able to return in a few years.

A big thank you to the snail farm for giving my friends and I an unforgettable experience. We did a variety of activities, such as harvesting persimmons, yams, cabbages, millets and planted garlics, onions, rye etc. We were well-fed with organic yummy meals everyday, and appreciated their efforts to organise doenjang workshop at a temple as well as arranging day trips during our rest days. While the work can be tough at times, we had lots of fun with the hosts and other WWOOFers. Thank you Bluebee, Sansori and Sonamu (+Kong) for your care and love!

This was our first wwoofing in Korea, and we couldnโ€™t have wished for a better experience. We spent two excellent weeks at Myungsoonโ€™s apple farm, where she took amazing care of us and was always very kind and attentive. The work was simple and varied โ€” mostly packing apple juice, preparing boxes, small cleaning and farming tasks, preparing kimchi and compote โ€” with clear hours and easy communication through Messenger and Papago. Our room in the annex was comfortable with heated floor. Meals cooked by Unnie were delicious every day ! We also enjoyed free time to visit the Apple Festival, explore Cheongsong, go to Daegu, hike in Juwungsan National Park, play park golf and football, and share nice moments with the family. A warm, generous, and authentic experience. We highly recommend staying with Myungsoon and her family ! Thank you very much, that was cool ๐Ÿ‘

Staying here was my first international volunteer experience. Before I came, I was nervous about language difficulties and other possible problems, but finally it was the warmest and most welcoming place Iโ€™ve ever been. I felt like a part of a family and was so happy to help here with daily life tasks. I came out of season and despite there being so many great activities and things to learn! Thank you so much for this experience. I definitely would like to come again!

What a fantastic first WWOOFing experience! From the moment they pick you up at the local bus stop, Heajoung and YungTek treat you like family. Meals are eaten together, family style, and itโ€™s a great chance to experience Korean cuisine the home-cooked way. Heajoung is a lifelong student always asking cultural questions and working on her English. As a novice Korean speaker, she was an excellent teacher who knows you have to speak the language to learn it. On the farm, we did a variety of tasks - harvesting seeds, creating raised beds, and processing various plants for homemade kimchi and banchan. Heajoung is careful to make this work educational, explaining elements of permaculture, traditional cuisine, and horticultural therapy along the way. We got to serve tea to Korean elders, help school children with a plant therapy project, and visit the local city for an apple festival. YungTek leads by example with his strong work ethic and subtle sense of humor. Making a fire for the ondal to heat the room for the night was a deeply rooting experience. I canโ€™t wait to visit them again sometime.

I really enjoyed my stay on Sangwon's farm. He took great effort to provide an authentic experience while also offering different activities. Not to mention, the farm is in a beautiful area. Loved my time here and would highly recommend.

My stay with Yoeng was fantastic! He was incredibly welcoming and truly dedicated to making sure I had a worthwhile three weeks. I discovered his beautiful ans peaceful garden, which we lovingly tended and where I felt really at ease. I was there during the chrysanthemum festival so I met a lot of people and had great experiences. But Yoeng also introduced me to the Andong region and authentic Korean life! Everyday, he was happy to make me discover something new, a place, some food, and he was a great Korean teacher too! He also really adapted to my vegetarianism, thank you Yeong! It was, as I liked to call it, a WWOOFing paradise. I will defenitly come back!
