Come over and knock on farmer's doors and ask. Most will be glad for the help. Basic knowledge of German essential, own vehicle (car, motorbike or bicycle) highly recommended. At the very least you should be able to borrow a patch of land for a tent for the night, if they are suspicious, think you are crazy and refuse you. The concept of WWOOF-ing is not that well-known in Germany among non-organic farmers. It would be possible to use an agency for this, but the agency might charge you money. In Austria you can use this website: http://www.wwoof.welcome.at.tf/ For Germany the site is http://www.wwoof.de/
