Where to WWOOF? You be the judge!

I'm trying to decide on a place to do farmstay (the program I'm with is called WWOOF Japan- Worldwide Workers on Organic Farms). I have a place already set up from June 10-July 1, but I need to figure out what I'm doing after that. I'm considering going back to the Mt. Fuji area- maybe climb to the top? There are two hosts in that region currently accepting WWOOFers that I'm looking at:

1. Eco-Village type thing, focusing on environmental sustainability. Excellent view of Mount Fuji from the porch.

2. Vineyard owned by some older dude. I would learn about grapes and growing them, but the farm is only partly organic and sort of factory-style.

Which will it be? You can vote by posting a comment. For god's sake comment more.

I'd go with the vineyard. Seems to me like you are leaning towards the village, though. The reason I like the vineyard is because you said it is partially organic. I believe it to be realistic to understand how to blend organic and factory type work in a balance that is economically viable. --Meetch Dawg

do you get free wine at the vineyard? If so go there, unless its that crappy rice wine, then go to Fuji

I think I'll try to do the Mount Fuji one, mainly because I want to climb to the top of it.
