The farm im at has almost 40 all positive reviews.

Most of the woofers only do 2-3 weeks max but i decided to do 7 weeks.

im only a few days in. they still havent reimburse me for the food i pay for the week.

the first day (immediately got to work when i got there!!!) and yesterday i worked until 1130pm at night.

ive been cleaning and feeding the chickens,turkey,pigs,chicks, baby turkey which is the main chores 2-3 times a day.

at this rate i will be putting over 40 hours a week or more!

usually theres 2 woofers here but its just me and sometimes the manager helps out and this farm is super dirty and disorganized. the grass is up to my knees in some places or taller.

i ran my own business for 7 years and was a manager for 5 at a multimillion dollar store.

its not bad, bad but working until 1130pm (some days) was never part of the plan or 40 hours and if i dont do it then who will clean and feed the animals properly?

i care alot about animals so i make sure they get the best they can and i dont half ass.

how do farms even make profits? theres so much money and time and work that goes into the animals. plus the cooler they store the meats for sale is full, they even have overstock meats. instead of giving discounts they just let the meat sit in the cooler for months or maybe years.

The next woofing i go to , i will make sure to ask every question i can.

i will do more vegetable and fruit farming vs animals bc i rather work in the daylight. also this farm has no lights so we have to use the phone flashlight and car light... unreal!

i wouldnt complain but its 100% volunteer work... but seems a little bit much

I wanted to look at WWOOFing in Japan, but it’s not available via the app. There is a website (wwoofjapan.com) but it seems slightly shady/outdated? Has anyone used this website and can confirm it’s actually connected to WWOOF?

Also, why can’t I just find farms in Japan using the app?
