World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, USA (WWOOF-USA) is part of a world-wide effort to link volunteers with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.
WWOOF-USA publishes a printed and online directory of more than 1000 farms that host volunteers in exchange for meals and accommodations. It is an opportunity to learn practical farming skills, explore the US, connect with where food comes from, be part of the real food movement, and have a fun, inexpensive eco-vacation.
We are a small family farm located in Kitsap County Washington between
Poulsbo and Kingston, we utilize low tunnels to extend our growing season
and all our produce is organically grown using sustainable farming
practices. Across the water from Seattle via ferry boat, we have 5+ forested
acres and raise Alpine dairy goats, Angora goats, Shetland sheep, & Angora
rabbits. Last fall we became one of a few RAW Goats Milk Grade A Dairy in
the state, which means this summer will be very busy attending farmers
markets to sell our products. You will be learning how to run a dairy and
make cheese, small scale farming techniques, low tunnel farming, mushroom
farming, shearing sheep/goats/rabbits, raising poultry, working with
livestock guardians, animal husbandry, making natural soap, canning, fiber
processing, weaving, spinning, knitting, building various items of use for
the farm, selling, marketing, and advertizing. We are excited about putting
up a hoop house this spring and expanding our growing area so we can expand
our farm stand offerings. We are in the process of developing an herbal
garden with an emphasis on herbal medicine for the humans and animals. Sign
