Help us Address the Farmer Succession Crisis

For over 40 years, WWOOF Canada has made possible powerful, hands-on educational exchanges on organic farms. Across the country, we create life-changing learning experiences that inspire thousands to grow food sustainably, live with purpose, and support a healthier planet.

Right now, this work is urgent. Canada is facing a farmer-succession crisis: many small organic farmers are retiring, and too few young people are stepping in. Your donation helps us bridge that gap. You fuel the education, inspiration, and hands-on experiences that empower future farmers—and ensure that sustainable agriculture thrives for decades to come.

Help us empower future farmers
