Some time ago, I saw on French TV a program on "wwoofers" coming to help farmers who cannot afford to hire outside help. I tried to find a link, but for those who can speak French there is this article from "La Dépêche Marseillaise" http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2009/03/16/574001-milhas-des-benevoles-accueillis-pour-travailler-dans-une-ferme-bio.html which covers what was said in the program. I think that it is a great idea.

if you check out the websites - you can also see the comments made by those making use of volunteers and the volunteers myself. Checking through it, I certainly found residents I know, and their comments were genuine (I checked!) so no reason to think the others are anything but honest and accurate either.
