Farms wishing to become a WWOOF host provide their details to their national organization. ......The duration of the visit can range from a few days to months or even years.

Sleidia, were you ever a wwoofer in Japan? If so, please, please share with us your stories of what it was like!

It sounds like an interesting setup!

Very popular thing to do here in New Zealand. A lot of Germans come here and work their way through the country as a WOOFER. Funny thing is, the majority of organic farms participating in the WOOFER style programme are owned and run by other Germans lol!
