WWOOFing in Hawaii - Intro

Aloha! Felipe and I arrived on the Big Island of Hawaii a few days ago to WWOOF on an organic farm called Every One Grows. Check it out here- http://www.everyonegrows.org/ and feel free to email the host of the farm at dreanb@gmail.com. Every One Grows is a little north of the city Hilo (approx. 25 min drive from Hilo). We thought we'd give you a little tour and sneak peak into life on the farm! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, "WWOOFers", "WWOOFING" or just plain "WWOOF", check out this website- http://www.wwoof.org. Who knows, maybe you'll want to go WWOOFing! We highly recommend it!!! Mahalo! :)

So, like anyone can do this? I'm from california and this way of life is so awesome!

[LeijaTurunen]

@TheBahaiGirl Yes, anyone can do this. All you need is money for your plane ticket, perhaps a little spending money- recommended but not a requirement, and you are good to go! Check out the WWOOFing website, join (it's like $20) & then you can contact the hosts of the farms that appeal to you & work something out. :)

Shouldnt you let the lettuce grow a bit bigger?. The lettuce Ive seen been grown are much bigger than that.

[LeijaTurunen]

@KidPuja Oh yeah, we normally did pick bigger lettuces... for some reason Felipe picked really small lettuce the day we filmed this. :S

[510shyt]

how long are you allowed to live there for?

[LeijaTurunen]

@510shyt At this particular farm, as long as we want. Most farms allow you to stay anywhere between a few weeks to a year. :) I'm Canadian so I can't stay longer than 6 months, that's for sure.

[bcr4893]

this looks like something i would seriously like to do but instead of Hawaii i was thinking Ireland. i was wondering how you went about registering to do this?

[asianhomebucket]

OMG I HAVE TO DO THIS!!! Its beautiful! <3 <3 <3 Looks like lots of fun!

[Oryan911]

does this require experience? i dont know much about gardening, but i would love to learn!

[Merle1987]

Even though I won't have a job lined up at the end of the season, I'm planning on doing this in spring. Having a job sucks. Making money sucks. I want to be outdoors mucking around and doing real shit.

[benny7690]

[juki0h]

[xaxie1]
