WWOOF Korea has been one of representatives of the WWOOF organization since 1996. WWOOF Korea started working to introduce wwoofing in Korea to foreign wwoofers and help them to experience real Korean life and cultures from 1998 by linking travellers like you with organic farms in Korea. WWOOF Korea has been joined by foreign participants from more than 60 countries so far. By joining WWOOF Korea, you get our listing of member farms where you can stay from a week to several months.
Farms listed as a WWOOF Korea member are part of a world-wide effort to promote the concept of organic farming, sustainable agriculture and responsible consumer habits. As part of this effort, host farms offer WWOOF members the opportunity to learn by doing. Listed farms will host WWOOF members free of charge. As a guest in a WWOOF farm your learning experience is based on you participating in the daily chores of running the farm. In doing so, you can learn a variety of techniques employed by member farms including organic farming, Permaculture and Biodynamics. In addition to learning about organic farming, you can also learn about the local ecology and culture while getting to meet fun and interesting people.
Your daily chores at WWOOF farms may include harvesting, preparing soil for planting, weeding and seeding, milking, cleaning pens, digging trenches, maintaining fences and such; and generally involve about 5 to 7 hours per day, 5 to 6 days per week. Each farm has its own chores, rules and schedules.
WWOOF Korea is affiliated to the International WWOOF Association (www.wwoof.org) which promotes environmentally friendly farming and consumer habits by helping bridge the gap between consumers and environmentally-responsible farmers. WWOOF Korea compiles and publishes for its members a list of host farms throughout South Korea. With this list, you can contact the farm(s) which you wish to visit and make the necessary arrangements for your stay. Upon your request, WWOOF Korea will contact the hosts and provide you with placement service for three times. (after then you have to contact by yourself).
