WWOOF
As the weeds grew over
our heads (I exaggerate only slightly), Mark and I decided we needed to
look for help. We tossed around the idea of hiring a part-time
helper or getting an intern from the local college. But we
finally settled on WWOOF. For a minimal fee
($5), the
organization hooks up folks interested in learning about organic
farming with farmers. We get free labor and they get an education
and free room and board.
Most WWOOF hosts ask their WWOOFers to stay for at least two weeks, but
we're not ready to make that kind of commitment. Instead, we're
looking for people who want to experience the
Walden Effect
for a weekend. If you're interested, give us a holler! We're
intrigued by the idea of meeting likeminded folks while also pulling
some weeds.
