I would love to do this. I've only recently come across it and immediately am interested and it sounds fantastic. I'm not quite sure id be any good at it though I can't even keep a plant alive 😅 😕 🤦‍♀️ but I'd certainly love to learn and know how to grow my own food its definitely given me something to look into abit more and one day I may be a wwoofer myself!!

All you need is enthusiasm and the spirit of adventure. Go for it! If you're lucky there might be a host farm or smallholding near to you, so you could pop over just for the day to 'dip your toe into the water' 🌻
