You should be able to find info with just the acronym - but in case - Willing Workers on Organic Farms... loads of backpackers go wwoofing in Aus as a cheap way to travel and many of my friends have done it.
A typical day is 4-6 hours of manual labour in exchange for bed and board - from what i have been told most farm owners are pleased to have someone who wants to learn how to do things properly, stay for longer terms or return seasonally. They are usually passionately committed individuals with a great deal of enthusiasm to share about their farm practices and sustainability and ecology in general.
