You are encouraged to apply if you are
willing to work cooperatively with organic farmers for 4-6 hours per
day. If you are under 18 years of age, you must be accompanied by a
legal guardian. Children are welcome at many farms, just be sure to
ask the host farmer before arriving. The same goes for pets.
WWOOF-USA cannot support any requests regarding obtaining a
visa. You are responsible for your travel and/or student visa.
The United States Embassy grants temporary visas to those individuals
who want to enter the United States. Applying for a visa should be done
as soon as possible as it can take several months depending on the embassy
in your country.

TO APPLY
FOR WWOOF-USA MEMBERSHIP: When you become a member
of WWOOF-USA, you receive a directory of more than 600 host farms
in the US, including Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands, that welcome
volunteers.
- WWOOF-USA memberships are valid for one year,
please remember to renew.
- Once you become a member, we will send you a directory and
online member password by US Postal Mail. The
full directory is available online to members only.
You need a membership password to access the full directory.
- The directory serves as a membership card that you
must show to farmers upon arrival to his/her farm.
- After you sign up online with a credit card, or once we receive
your application by mail, expect about 7-10 business days for
your directory to arrive, longer if you live outside of the
US.
Once you receive the directory, contact
the farm(s) where you are interested in WWOOFing. You
may need to reserve a place well in advance of
your arrival. Check with hosts if you have special needs, such
as diet, or if you are interested in bringing children or pets.
Different hosts can make different accommodations, and with more
than 700 farms in the directory, you are sure to find what you
are looking for.
