Host a Young
Farm Volunteer
WWOOF!
Pennypack Farm belongs to an international organization called World Wide Workers On Organic Farms (WWOOF).  Each season, we accept volunteer workers from all over the world to experience Pennypack Farm through a work exchange program.  We are currently seeking hosts for the volunteers this summer.

Hosting a young volunteer involves providing them with a living space and meals during their visit.  They work at the farm all day and usually do sightseeing in the local area on the weekends.

If you think you might be interested in hosting a WWOOFer,
please contact Andy at pennypackfarm@gmail.com
