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.

I had a wonderful stay with Ane:) It was my first WOOFing experience, and I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better one. Ane is such a warm and kind-hearted person, and I felt comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. During my stay, I learned so many new things, like how to make kimchi and pickle vegetables. We also worked on lots of different little projects during the week, such as weeding the garden, mowing, repairing a small roof, and many other things. One of my favourite moments was our weekend hike to a beautiful lake. We even picked mushrooms along the way, and Ane introduced me to cloudberries, which was a completely new experience for me! 🌿🏔️🍄‍🟫 And of course, I have to mention Laffen, the sweetest little farm cat! 🐈 He follows you everywhere and is always looking for some extra cuddles. I would absolutely recommend staying with Ane and would happily come back again. I really hope I’ll get the chance to visit again someday! 😊 Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

It was my first experience as a wwoofer and I really enjoyed my two-month stay at Korslund Gard ! Martin and Christine are very nice people who are welcoming and caring. It was a real pleasure to meet them. Concerning the work the tasks were quite varied : it was mostly taking care of the plants and the garden (weeding, planting, mowing the grass) but we also had to paint or clean a little which was nice for a change. Martin gave us some instructions in the morning and then we worked for five hours mostly by ourselves (but he was always available if needed). About the accomodation the wwoofers's house is really nice with everything needed inside. We had a little electric car we could use and it was very useful to go to the supermarket, to Eidsvoll station or to explore around the farm. And there are multiple things to do if you like to explore because the surroundings are beautiful. There is even a forest and multiple lakes just next to the farm. The life there is so peaceful I really recommend it.

Guro and Petter were outstanding hosts. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and were even invited to join in all of their activities with their local friends and family. The work was varied depending on what needed to be done, tasks included maintaining the garden beds (mulching, weeding, mowing, harvesting), looking after the chicken and cleaning the coop, painting their new kitchen project or helping out with the summer cafe. Work hours were very flexible to make the most of any good weather too. There was plenty to do in our spare time and there are some beautiful hikes in the area (keep an eye out for wild blueberries and strawberries in the summer!). We were also able to go paddle boarding and cycling along the fjord, would definitely recommend. We shared most of our lunch and dinners together and had breakfast by ourselves in the morning, it was great to experience some of their local produce and traditional meals and exchange some of our own recipes. Our stay was truly memorable and we couldn't recommend them enough to anyone else wanting to experience life in this part of Norway. Thanks again !!

I spent two months at Arctic eco Garden. It was a very Special time with Lots of cool experiences. I learned a Lot and saw how to grow in that Northern area. I also learned much about the local culture :) I also did Nice hikes around with the other woofers. So i could reccomend it defintly if you want to learn about agriculture in the very North and if you want to learn something about local Culture. Leikny is also a very kind and wise woman.

I learned a lot about the development of Agriculture in Norway, and quite a few interesting things of how agriculture in norway was like in the past. My time on the summerfarm was very interesting and I was able to learn to row on the lake. Even tough I'm used to different hygiene standarts when it comes to production and cleaning production gear I found my stay to be an enrichment and most likely would come by for a visit if I happen to visit Norway again.

I stayed on the farm for two weeks and had an absolute blast. The host family is extremely welcoming, open-minded, and easy to connect with. Eating meals together felt like being part of the family. The daily work was diverse and engaging. Since the farm was in an exciting startup phase, there was a nice variety of projects to jump into: from daily animal care, soil prep, painting, to weeding some plants you really don't want on your farm. It’s a fantastic environment if you enjoy learning, sharing ideas, and pitching in as a team. I had a wonderful time and who knows, maybe i come again in a couple of years😊

Our stay at Renata's farm was wonderful. I was Wwoofing with my two kids, and really enjoyed the stay. Renata and her family were very welcoming, and her kids helped my kids a lot to enjoy them selfs on the farm and beyond. Thanks to Renata, and her family! Going for a swim in the fjord after work was wonderful, we were also introduced to hiking-directions and places to go. Tusen takk!

J'ai passé un excellent séjour chez Charlotte à Skarsholt. Comme c'était ma première expérience de WWOOFing, je ne savais pas vraiment à quoi m'attendre, mais tout s'est très bien passé. Pendant mon séjour, j'ai découvert la vie à la ferme, appris à m'occuper des chevaux et participé à différents projets, notamment le Big Project et la construction des toilettes de la Duck House. J'ai appris beaucoup de nouvelles choses et j'ai apprécié pouvoir essayer des activités que je n'avais jamais faites auparavant. Charlotte est une personne très gentille et accueillante. Elle prend le temps d'expliquer, de partager ses connaissances et de s'assurer que tout le monde se sente bien. Grâce à elle, je me suis rapidement senti à l'aise à la ferme. Je garde de très bons souvenirs de cette expérience, des rencontres et de mon séjour en Norvège. Je recommande Skarsholt à toute personne qui souhaite découvrir le WWOOFing. Merci Charlotte !

We had a great stay at Shan's place! He is a very open, welcoming and generous person. He didn't stay at the house while we were there but he would come by every few days. We really appreciate everything he did for us, from bringing us food to letting us borrow his bikes. The work is not too hard and he let's you pick what you want to do based on your interests. The house is located pretty remote in a beautiful area with plenty of hikes nearby. I would recommend this host if you're looking for a peaceful and quiet place to stay.

We had a great time on Valla, staying there for more than four months over the winter and falling in love with the island. On the farm we learned everything about milking and feeding the cows, and how life on a Norwegian dairy farm can be. We really enjoyed the shared lunches and dinners we had with Mads and our fellow wwoofers, getting to know so many different people over the months. Handnesøya is a great place to live and forget about the rest of the world - the community was very welcoming and we made many new friends. We will be back! :)
