Procedures for doing WWOOFing for 6 months in the United States

Hi everyone, I’d like to do some WWOOFing for 6 months in the USA, but I don’t know how to get my visa, how to apply, or how to obtain a work visa since it seems more recommended than a simple tourist visa.

A work visa for woofing seems complicated to me because volunteering doesn’t fit the criteria for formal employment... A tourist visa is easier but also riskier with customs... Because woofing is still work, even if it’s not paid. I’d try more of a J1 exchange visa by finding an approved program that can sponsor this type of stay.

Good luck! !
