If an agriturismo farm stay sounds too tame for you and you really want to get your hands dirty, sign up with WWOOF (www.wwoof.org), a collection of volunteer organizations in 20 countries around the world, from Australia to Korea, Ghana to the US, Italy to Nepal (plus "independent" members—countries with only a handful of opportunities).

Each WWOOF chapter devoted to supporting and helping teach about organic and environmentally sound farming techniques. You join the WWOOF chapter in the country where you'd like to work (for roughly $10 to $40), it sends you a list of farms that would appreciate a helping hand in exchange for room and board.

You must be willing to put in six hours of work six days a week to see how the farming half lives. That said, I've never run into a WWOOFer who wasn't cheery, upbeat, and happy with this style of travel and of living life.
