WWOOF China is an exchange program where all meals, accommodation and genuine learning & experience are given to the visitor (the WWOOFer) in return for him or her helping the Host with the work they do for about 5 hours a day. WWOOFers can stay as long or as short a time as they can make arrangements with Hosts to do so. There is NO money exchanged between WWOOFer and Host. WWOOFing is about the exchange of food and boarding for assistance with work, and learning, experience and friendship for all concerned. A cultural exchange in which WWOOFers live and work as family with Hosts, and learn about whatever it is the Host does, the surrounding area, the language and culture, and more. Get below the veneer of tourism and have genuine and new experiences with the locals and and the work they do, society and culture.

Stop Press:  The average in rural areas which constitutes the greater part of China is about US$100 a year. In an effort to encourage families in these communities to become hosts, we are waiving the annual host fee, and allowing hosts to charge Wwoofers up to US$4 per night per Wwoofer. This we hope will make a big difference to the lives of disadvantaged people. Throughout the site it says no money is paid to hosts; the reason for this is because this small payment idea is a new initiative.

Note:  We are a new group, and we have few hosts compared to other Wwoofs. Many hosts are not organic farms. We are adding new host as quickly as we can.
