This is a link to WWOOF Israel branch. We've had WWOOF volunteers for a few years now, and they've almost always been simply fantastic people to work with and to befriend.
The basic and simple idea of wwoofing is that you willing to volunteer in a farm for several hours a day five days a week and in return you receive from your host free food and accommodation. anyone above 18 years old from any nationality can join WWOOF Israel.
Today, the WWOOF - World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms - is spread all over the planet, so if you’re into organic movement and want to join other WWOOFers it can open a world of possibilities for you to explore.
