Wwoofers Canada

September 19, 2018
In recent years, I started watching several Homestead YouTubers.  I narrow downed my favourites to: Dirtpatcheaven, Off Grid With Doug & Stacy, and Fouch Family Off Grid.  Through Dirtpatcheaven, I learned about WWOOFers.  WWOOF is an acronym and started out in the early days as Working Weekends On Organic Farms. This changed in time as it was realised that people wanted to volunteer and host anytime. Now various WWOOF organizations use a variety of meanings: World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Willing Workers On Organic Farms.  A couple of years ago, when we started talking about formally becoming a micro-farm, we assumed that we would be doing all the work ourselves.  However, both Gary and I have health issues that severely slowed down our progress.  I started to talk about WWOOFers more often.  We have so much knowledge to share.

Early this week, I applied to become a WWOOF Canada host.  
We are in the process of creating a tiny cabin Airbnb from what was formerly my art studio.  With Emily about to be placed on the heart transplant list, I decided to move my art studio back to the city leaving the art studio cabin vacant.  It's too adorable to leave empty, so we decided to share the experience on Airbnb.  In October, I will be spending several days moving the art studio and designing a tiny cabin Airbnb.  IKEA here I come!  
The tiny cabin will also serve as the WWOOFer(s) home while they are here.
The application process is detailed.  WWOOF Canada and I have been emailing each other all week.  It's exciting and a little scaring to move forward with this.  I am completely confident that WWOOFers will learn and we will have a mutually beneficial relationship.  The scary part is actually seeing our vision come to be.  This could be a "be careful what you wish for" scene.  This will be hard work.  But it's part of our dream.  I'll keep you posted about the WWOOF Canada application results!  XOXO
