Through WWOOF you can live and learn on organic farms all over the world, share your skills and knowledge, be a part of a diverse and growing global movement that aims to protect and honour the land, celebrate cultures, sustain and nurture communities.
WWOOF Ireland
WWOOF Ireland connects visitors with 200+ organic farmers and homesteads across the country, in all four provinces of Ireland including urban locations and Gaeltacht regions where the native language Gaelic is spoken. Visitors, or ‘WWOOFers’, have the opportunity to learn, grow and connect with the land and the rich culture of Ireland while staying with a WWOOF Ireland Host.
WWOOFers join in with farm activities while visiting the Host farm. The Host provides safe, warm and clean accomodation, nourising food and shares their knowledge about organic farming, creating a sustainable global community based on trust and a non-monetary exchange.
