I have finally got my wwoofing placement sorted (willing workers on organic farms - FYI), but instead of being on the East coast, I've gone West!
1.5 hours north of San Fran is McDonald Ranch where they have an 'animal sanctuary and university for children'. They have horses that I can ride, goats, chickens etc etc and also school kids who come to learn animal husbandry, which is not as my sister thought, getting animals to mate, but how to care for them!
Linda McDonald seems really nice and emailed "I will make room for you if I have to move to a tent myself and give you my room! LOL!" which i thought was nice, hope its comfy :-)
You can find out more about the farm at http://www.mcdonaldranch.org/ and I'll let you know how it goes.
I now have only 2 sleeps before leaving for New York... eee..... 5 nights there and then wwoofing!
Wish me luck! xx
