Find Room, Board and Career Path on an Organic Farm

"Earn your keep" isn't a new saying, but working on an organic farm in exchange for food, travel and lodging is a modern way to do it--and gain experience in the bargain.

World-Wide Opportunities for Organic Farming invites volunteers to work for one-half day in return for fresh produce and accommodations. More than 1,000 organic farms and gardens throughout the U.S employ volunteers without exchanging money. In the process, participants can learn about sustainability by managing gardens, keeping bees, working with animals and even making wine.
