Volunteers & Wwoofers  

Today we began the process of getting Kind Organics on the Map of several farming and community organization websites. WWOOF Canada is a member of the International World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms and provides a website where volunteers can look up farms and contact farmers for short or extended apprenticeship programs in exchange for food and shelter. C.R.A.F.T. Ontario (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training in Ontario) is a great resource aimed mostly at college and university students here in Ontario, similar to WWOOF it provides information on farms where students can get training in exchange for free labour (room and board). International Communities is an international directory of communities and community minded groups with one focus being on visits and volunteering. The outcome hopefully will be to get some volunteers or apprentices for the summer. We sure could use the help, the to-do list is very long for this year.

What next?
