I'm going to be writing about food for the next few entries and I thought I'd start with something uplifting.
World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, is part of a global effort to link volunteers with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a community conscious of ecological farming practices.
Portland, Oregon photographer, Jake Stangel, wanted to leave his urban home, ditch his tech and do something real. So he contacted WWOOF (as it's more commonly known) and the organization connected him with a couple who operate an organic farm in Central Florida, where he spent two weeks learning how to work with his hands. "I got to work with a handful of other people — to use my hands and power tools — on this beautiful farm in the middle of nowhere."
Although he left his computer at home, he did bring his camera and the link below shows you some of the results.
