WWOOFer and Hosts, share with the world how WWOOF has made a difference in your life. Take to social media to share photos and stories that capture the magic of WWOOFing!

Every month this summer, we’ll choose three finalists. Those finalists will be posted to our Instagram, where our followers will get to decide who takes home the cash prize. Monthly winners will be awarded $200, a WWOOF SWAG package, and a free WWOOF Canada membership. Selections will be made at the end of July, August, and September.
