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 Norway

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

J’ai passé un excellent moment, je recommande tellement fortement, j’étais pas à l’aise avec l’anglais et cette hôte ma toujours expliquer jusqu’à ce que je comprenne, elle ma toujours aider dans comment apprendre, elle étais compréhensive, j’ai appris tellement sur moi sur la nature sur la production, merci pour cette expérience sur la nature et la personne avec qui j’étais  I had an amazing time, and I highly recommend this experience! I wasn’t very comfortable speaking English, but my host always took the time to explain things to me until I understood. She was always there to help me learn and was very understanding and patient. I learned so much about myself, nature, and production. Thank you for this wonderful experience, for everything I learned about nature, and for the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person!

I can’t recommend working with Jan highly enough. I had a wonderful summer in his company. I learnt so much about life on the farm, cooking, the local folklore and also the local flora. There are also more than enough walking trails all around the farm to keep you busy all summer long. A big thank you for all those incredible moments, i miss them already.

Jeg har hatt et utrolig fint opphold på Tue gård. Ingrid er en veldig behagelig og inkluderende vert med gode historier og tips til turer i området. Har også hatt fine arbeidsøkter med en veldig hyggelig og stødig wwoofer som var der samtidig etterfulgt av gode måltider. Tusen takk igjen Ingrid for at du tok imot meg, kommer gjerne tilbake.

They are wonderful hosts, welcoming, cheerful, patient, and very kind. The island is truly sublime, I never got tired of the view. I loved walking around and felt so lucky to discover this beautiful place that needs to be preserved. I loved spending time and learning at the farm, meeting the sheep, feeding the chickens, gardening etc. The variety of tasks was great. This place is so peaceful and does you a world of good, I highly recommend it. The delicious shared meals and saunas were super moments. Their way of life focuses on the essentials: sustainability, and a healthy, ethical, and joyful lifestyle! A huge thank you to Barbara, Bruno, and Anni for sharing this place, and for their kindness

I spent three very informative weeks on Leikny’s farm. It was completely new and astonishing to me to learn what grows in northern Norway and just how late and short the harvest season is. Leikny has a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding the various vegetables and berries. I was only aware of a few factors that can influence growth. I now realise that there are far more factors at play, and I’m amazed at just how much is possible. I really enjoyed working with the other woofers who were there, and I think Leikny guided us very well and found the right task for everyone. I particularly enjoyed packing the beautiful vegetable boxes, stocking the sales tent by the road, and being able to tag along on the deliveries time and again. Leikny cooked Norwegian dishes for us time and again, which were absolutely delicious. Leikny was always happy to explain things or share her wealth of knowledge. All of this really enriched my time there. Thank you so much for that!

First ever wwoofing experience. I really liked my stay at this farm. The people were really nice, and welcoming. It felt like helping people and be part of something rather than be a simple employee. The place was also quite charming, with a lake nearby and a lot of paths to explore the norvegian wild. I would also like to mention the great quality of the food, as a city background person who's used to processed stuff ( especially Camilla's homemade bread that I miss every single day 💔 ).

Ingrid is a wonderful host and I would gladly help her again. Although the weather wasn’t nice to us, we did as much work as possible. Ingrid very well explained all the tasks and taught me a lot of things about the farm and farming itself. We harvested a lot of plums, did some weeding around raspberries, cared for the potatoes and some little things around the farm. I can highly recommend helping Ingrid on her farm. Thank you for everything Ingrid.

Elin and her family made my first woofing experience of 4 summer months unforgettable. I felt well taken care of and like a part of the family at all times. The work never got boring, as there is always much to do around the farm. Reaching from fence building and horse feeding to garden upholding and planting, I learned from Elin’s experience every day. She made sure that I was comfortable with every task before letting me complete them alone, so that I never felt pressured or overwhelmed by them. Spending the day at the farm meant to always look forward to good meal and TV times in the evening with the family or even some outside grilling, which I was very thankful to spend with them. Elin was very flexible about my days off, in case I had plans for hiking or visiting the city. I got lots of freedom when it comes to spending time with the horses, having some hours to myself or laying some tasks I could do alone throughout the day. Time again I was impressed of how lovingly and deeply bonded Elin and her daughters care for the horses. It was a great chance to learn their way of upbringing and training them while staying open-minded for new ideas. I don’t think I have met other horses just as gentle and communicative to work with. Thank you for all the opportunities of learning, trying new foods and traditions and exploring the nature around! I will always think dearly of the months in Bodø and highly recommend getting to know Elin and her family!

We spent two lovely weeks at Kvednaflåt. Ingrid was an amazing host, always teaching and explaining us interesting stuff, while also including our interest and giving us the opportunity to choose what we wanted to do. We were amazed by the beautiful landscape surrounding the area, giving us countless options to spend our free time. Overall a wonderful first WWOOF experience!

I had a wonderful two-week stay with Sondre and would definitely recommend the experience. Sondre creates a really great and relaxed atmosphere on the farm. He is very intelligent, open-minded, and has a lot of knowledge to share, so I learned a lot during my time there. The animals are also very friendly, and the island itself is absolutely beautiful. There is plenty of nature to explore and enjoy. One thing I would mention for future WWOOFers: I would recommend travelling with a friend or another WWOOFer rather than coming alone, or at least asking beforehand whether there will be other WWOOFers staying at the farm at the same time. Since the farm is located on an island and Sondre has a full-time job, it can happen that you are completely on your own for periods of time, with only the family around. For some people this might be exactly what they are looking for, but it is definitely worth knowing beforehand. Overall, it was a really unique experience that I think everyone should have at least once. The island, the animals, the relaxed atmosphere and the freedom make it a memorable stay. Also: You will have a lot of boat Trips and you maybe can ride the Quad once or twice. 😁
