Does anyone have any knowledge/ideas about other places on the web that have listings for farmer wannabes, or internships for farming or homesteading or appropriate technology or the like?

Here's what I have so far:

Hi Liv,
we are currently looking for places through the

Global Ecovillage Network

And Workaway.com

Most Ecovillages are also on workaway.

Hope that helps.

I've used Workaway extensively for visiting and staying with Permaculture projects. It is more "global friendly" that WWOOF as one subscription allows you to access projects in multiple countries - WWOOF needs different subscriptions for each area and gets expensive very quickly.

Here in the UK there is also Diggers and Dreamers, a directory of intentional communities.
