Green Opportunity: Put Your Image Here for Cheap Travel, Free Organic Foods
Picture yourself living in Italy, Japan, or Mexico. But you’re not in a hotel; you’re in the countryside at the home of some good friends. Talking over lunch, your host passes you a generous helping of fresh, organic food. You know it’s organic because your host grew it himself. In fact, you helped.
If this scenario seems like a dream come true, then you might want to consider World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF). You can participate around the globe, even in your local area.
As well as being a chance to enjoy eating organic foods and traveling in style, learning organic farming from the farmers themselves is also a valuable educational opportunity. Understanding where your meals come from will change the way you think about food. Acquiring the skills of an organic farmer will also enable you to improve your own home garden and. Diversifying your skill base also widens your career opportunities and makes you more attractive to potential employers.

Fortunately the Ark of universal consciousness has “Gone About” after 2000 years of single minded patriarchy. Now in this age of Aquarius the fish of consciousness is beginning to find his life in his own waters of living breathing spirituality. Wonderful to interlink with you I am a old student and practitioner of Bio Dynamic Agriculture and did once operate a large scale irrigation farm and farmed organically in New South Wales Australia. I am therefore conversant with the decline in nutrition of cosmetically, enhanced genetically manipulated grains, fruit, stock and vegetables at the well intended hands of farmers trying to sustain a living through a life on the land. Unfortunately they have, in general lost the path and have been “sucked into” and manipulated into surviving by “getting bigger” and forcing production basically with nitrogen in monocultural practices initiated and fostered with short sighted advice in sponsorship for deliberate invasion by international chemistry investors convincing ‘wet eared’ student agronomists of modern best practice of bastardry.
Love Peace and Blessings to all who are prepared to “Change the way we look at things so the things we look at change”.
Your very welcome to my blog and I look forward to interlinking with you to help share the word and switch consciousness to sustainability.

A good friend of mine is apprenticing on an organic farm this summer and loves it. He used WWOOF as well, but the farm he ended up working on was actually listed on Organic Volunteers — another great resource.
