Flipping through my WWOOF USA host directory, I have marked and highlighted and attached sticky notes to tons of listings for attractive host farms in the Puget Sound area. As I am whittling down my selections, I have started to develop a list of questions to ask host farms which can help me get a feel for the one or two farms I will spend endersession working on.
- How many hours will I work each day?
- What specific jobs or projects will I be working on?
- Do I need any specific, uncommon skills for these projects or jobs?
- What sort of living accomodations do you offer?
- How many meals a day are WWOOFers provided with?
- What type of crops are grown on your farm?
- Is your farm small or large-scale?
- Do you participate in farmer markets or a local CSA (community supported agriculture)?
- Can I expect to be working with other WWOOFers or independently?
- Do you allow WWOOFers to access the internet?
- How far is your farm from the nearest town?
