The places mentioned in the conversation: Pubs: Swan with Two Necks in Pendleton and the New Inn in Clitheroe. The craft beer brewery: Bowness Bay Brewing in Kendal. The natural wineries: Rita & Rudolf Trossen and Staffelter Hof in Mosel and Katla Wines in Rheinhessen.  WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is a global, non-profit program that connects volunteers ("WWOOFers") with organic farmers for educational and cultural exchange.
