FARMER INFORMATION

Southeast Willing Workers On Organic Farms (SEWWOOF)

P.O. Box 592

Snow Camp, NC 27349

Greetings

Chapters for Willing Workers On Organic Farms (WWOOF)

service are across the country and around the world.

It has fast become, during the last 20 years or so, along with

similar organizations, part of the river of organic agricultural efforts

everywhere which have been the mainstay of informal, professional farm

education through supporting farmers and farm apprentices.

We are the southeast chapter of WWOOF or Southeast Willing

Workers On Organic Farms or SEWWOOF, and are in

collaboration with the organization Eco-Ag based in Nortth Carolina.

The basic mechanics are simple. Each year, we publish the SEWWOOF Farm

List of organic farms in the southeast. Potential farm apprentices

contact us after learning of our service through various agriculturally

related sources. After receiving their information forms and a fee of

six dollars, we send them the Farm List. They then contact the farm

which matches their training and/or interests and arrange with you,

the farmer, a working relationship on the farm. This relationship is

usually initiated by the apprentice and arranged by both apprentice

and the farmer.

SEWWOOF does not act as a liaison in this relationship. However, on

occasion, should the farmer need more contact with potential

apprentices, we send to them upon request, a list of apprentices who

have given permission for us to release their contact and background

information, thus giving the farmer the opportunity to increase contact

with apprentices. The farmers also complete a form and return this to

us with a small fee of nine dollars.

Our usual time for adding new farmers to the Farm List is in the

winter. However, if it is more timely for you to join the list now,

please print, complete and sign the form now and sent it to us with fee,

and we'd be glad to add you to the List.

If you know of other farmers who would like to be on the list, please

print and reproduce the form below and give it to potential listing

farmers.

Good Farming!
