This is a topic which might be in the Itinerant section, but its not about hiring, but exchanging help for lodging.

WWOOF is nothing to do with dogs :rolleyes: It stands for Willing Workers On Organic Farms. The system could be of interest to anyone who needs a hand with their selfbuild, or any other home-based activity for that matter providing there exists an organic principle to the establishment. For others, there exists a 'cousin' system: Help Exchange' (helpx).

Right now, there exists the possibility for a keen learner (with some skill!) to come help us with our timber frame preparation. This possibility might seem far-fetched, but a quick review of our (24+) visitors to date shows folk from the Americas and Europe, some of which have been skilled enough to contribute to such a project.

Anyone interested can visit our WWOOF page at:

Links to the two named systems appear on this page.
