As such it provides accident insurance cover for WWOOFers and, providing both host and WWOOFer can produce membership cards, justifies the presence of voluntary labour on a farm. The purpose of WWOOF is to create an interest and understanding for organic and biodynamic ways of living.

| About WWOOF The purpose of WWOOF is to create an interest and understanding for organic and biodynamic ways of living. In addition to this WWOOF makes it possible for people to travel cheaply all over the world and, at the same time, to help where it is wanted and needed. WWOOF started about 35 years ago in the UK. It began thanks to Sue Coppard (who was at the time living in London), who wanted to organise a weekend stay helping out on an organic farm. Gradually more people became involved and enjoyed their weekend breaks in the countryside and more farmers offered accommodation and food in return for help and enthusiasm. Since then it has grown enormously and now exists in many countries worldwide. All countries with their own national WWOOF organisation are listed at the bottom of this page.

About WWOOF Italia As such it provides obligatory accident insurance cover for WWOOFers and, providing both host and WWOOFer can produce membership cards, justifies the presence of a voluntary collaborator on a farm. The WWOOF Italia list includes biodynamic and organic farms and smallholdings, some hosts live from farming and sell their products while others just want to be self sufficient, or simply to grow their own organic vegetables. WWOOF hosts do not expect that you know a lot about farming when you come, but they do expect you to be willing to learn and fit in with their lifestyle. Being a member of any other WWOOF organisation e.g., WWOOF International does not enable you to WWOOF in Italy, and hosts will not accept you. You must be a member of WWOOF Italia to WWOOF here and benefit from the insurance cover. WWOOF Italy offer the list of WWOOF Independents hosts as part of their standard membership (at no extra charge). As a member and you will automatically have access to the WWOOF Independents host list. Who's Who Claudio Pozzi - President Bridget Matthews takes care of memberships, the host list and all correspondence. All the photographs on the site were taken by WWOOF host Enrico Caracciolo. Many Thanks
