Ep 8: We Traded Farm Work for Adventure: The WWOOFing Journey That Changed Our Lives

When we first discovered WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms), we had no idea how much those experiences would shape our lives.In this episode, we're taking you back to our very first WWOOFing journey across the United States. From California and New Mexico to Georgia and North Carolina, we share stories from the farms we stayed on, the unforgettable people we met, and the experiences that have stayed with us for nearly two decades. Today, we've come full circle. After years of WWOOFing ourselves, we now welcome WWOOFers to our own homestead. As we reflect on these early adventures, we're reminded of the generosity, hospitality, and unexpected connections that made each experience so meaningful. In this episode, we share: Stories from our first WWOOFing experiences across the United States  The unforgettable people and farms that left a lasting impression  What it's been like to experience WWOOF from both sides—as volunteers and now as hosts  How WWOOFing influenced our homesteading journey  Why opening ourselves to new people and experiences has enriched our lives If you've ever been curious about WWOOFing, volunteering on organic farms, or hearing the stories that helped shape our path to homesteading, we hope you enjoy this conversation.Learn more about WWOOFING: https://wwoof.net/Connect with Lindsay & Scott: To learn more about our retreats: www.homesteadandheal.netConnected with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaycourcelle/Connect with Scott: https://www.instagram.com/alchemygardens/Don't forget to subscribe, and leave us a review/ rating! Connect with Lindsay & Scott: To learn more about our retreats: www.homesteadandheal.netConnected with Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaycourcelle/Connect with Scott: https://www.instagram.com/alchemygardens/If you loved this episode - it would mean so much to leave us a review!
