Willing Workers On Organic Farms and World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Vacationing in Canada and volunteering on Organic Farms is a great way to broaden your education and practical experience. It also serves as a great way to inexpensively travel. Over 500 farm hosts - a great variety of choices - will introduce you to the many interesting aspects of Canadian farms and gardens. WWOOFing is a cultural exchange and a helping exchange.     

: C+ y: k/ f  ^$ E; R: @9 |! G* z4 }For those coming from overseas - Europe and Asia - you must have a simple basic understanding of English. You will be expected to learn, share and participate in the daily farm/garden and home activities. You are welcome to stay 1 week or longer; some hosts request a minimum of 2 weeks - so that you can orientate yourself to the farm scene; many volunteers stay 1-3 weeks then move on to another farm - thus gaining a variety of experiences. You are free as to how long you can stay depending on the Host's requirements.

' x# o) V4 R8 b: y! DI have a large home recently renovated and moving towards solar. Large yard is 80% redesigned and landscaped. Now needs planting (no lawns). Nearby (walk or bike) is a shared organic garden for bulk, root and berry crops fed with a large compost. Four people share living in the home. Myself, my son Mikhail and two roommates. Any diet accommodated, no smoking in the home, you can pitch a tent, get a room or sleep upside down in a closet. Could be a good starting point for your visit to Western Canada.

We are a very down to earth couple in our late 50’s yet young at heart. We basically eat the regular meals, nothing fancy. During the busy times in summer we tend to fend for ourselves at mealtime. We basically have weeding, irrigation & marketing as duties on the farm. We work long hours when necessary.

- ]) f+ [" F  sIn 1998, after taking an organic course through Assinabia College, we started the road to becoming an organic farm which also gave us the capability of being an organic inspector. We network with organic users and other organic producers as well as farming 1440 acres which will be 100% organic in 2 years time. We are raising an ancient grain - Spelt along with flax. Both are grown specially for specific end users. We have a family of 3 children who have all graduated from high school. We feel that many hands make light work so we would be very pleased to welcome you to our farm.

We are located in East Central Alberta. We own, live & work on their 320 certified organic farms. During the summer months, we raise broiler chickens &/or turkeys. Year round, we raise a small herd of meat goats & laying hens. We have dabbled in raising medicinal herbs & native fruit crops.

Come & enjoy the company of an international stopping place, since we have hosted exchange students from all over the world. Meals, with an international flare, are shared with the family, & anyone else who happens by.

I have a landscape company, based out of a small town called Niton Junction which is located between Edmonton and beautiful, world renowned Jasper. This ranch consists of 500 acres of land which currently supports 30 horses. The main home is a large 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom log home situated in a picturesque setting. The tree nursery work consists of pruning, planting seedlings and cultivating on site, as well as travelling throughout Alberta and British Columbia to dig trees as well as landscape. This business is seasonal, starting in early spring & going on until snow falls. During the summer, however, we do go on many day trips with the horses as well as going up to the mountains for trail rides & camp outs. There are many horses that need to be ridden on a daily basis which is done in the evening after work. If you enjoy the outdoors & this lifestyle appeals to you, please feel free to contact me.
