How to Wwoof to Hawaii

World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (Wwoof) is a unique way to see Hawaii and typically costs only the price of your plane ticket. Wwoofing connects people who are interested in organic farming, sustainable farming and permaculture in touch with farms that are willing to teach or could use an extra hand. The general Wwoofing arrangement is the exchange of a set amount of work hours, typically $20 to $30, for free room and board, usually a basic and rustic setup.
