My nephew, Rory, just arrived in Tuscany, Italy where he will be working on an organic farm for the next 3 months. It specializes in producing Parmesan cheese from its cows.

WWOOF is a worldwide effort to link visitors with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming practices. Visitors, or ‘WWOOFers’, share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.
