Anyone here familiar with WWOOF? Farm Hosting

I just discovered this website, http://www.wwoof.org/. Wwoofing, from my understanding, is that certain organic farms become host farms, people then request to stay at the host farms in trade for 4-6 hours worth of work a day. I am highly interested in doing something like this and I would like to know if anyone here has any personal experience with this. I would like to find myself on a farm learning how to grow a variety of plants, not just cannabis. I think this would be an excellent way for myself to make friends in a particular area where I would like to move, ideally friends within the medical marijuana community.

If anyone has any input on the topic it would be greatly appreciated.

I did it a couple summer's ago. It was great. I'm going to do it again, down to Mexico and then maybe Central America.

The forums there are really helpful for getting started.

hahaha ookaaay. lol I don't know if I should feel swayed from the idea or what.

Lol I love to smoke and I suppose I could go a while without it. Was this the case for you?

I basically quit while I was doing it. Each place varies a lot, definitely don't want to go to a place where the people have a stick up their ass, that would suck for sure.

I just quit cause I didn't have any.

I would like to find a host farm that is involved with the medical industry but that might be asking too much.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'm not saying there's none, I didn't see any when I last looked, and I imagine if there are any they wouldn't really advertise it, as it may not attract the best people.

I ended up on a berry farm in Vermont. Way cooler than it sounds, lol.

I really only looked in VT, OR, and WA.

Mmm Berries. Yeah I guess there is a lot more to life. I need to learn to kind of just go with the flow of life, let life live it's course. It might be hard leaving my friends and family at first but I am sure it will all be worth it! I am really interested in wwoofing in Ireland or New Zealand.
