I'm looking the best country to WWOOF in. I'm 24 and am considering doing this next summer. I only speak english and I've never been over to seas before. I have an interest in Nordic countries if that helps.

I guess you should start by looking at the Nordic countries, or countries where English is the primary language.
Not sure what else you want from us.
PS -- Maybe do a week in your home country, see if you like working as unpaid labor on a hippy's farm before paying for a plane ticket to go do it elsewhere. That is a serious recommendation, if you have never worked on a small farm.

Hey anon, I'm currently finishing up a 5 month stint at a farm in the UK.
It's really a great experience- you just need to understand that farming can be tough work and sometimes you might be asking yourself "why the fuck am I doing this for no money?" Otherwise, I've had nothing but fun. I've gotten involved in armored medieval fighting, I fucked 3 different foreign girls, and I get stoned as a boulder with the other guys on the farm after work every day.
Also, my main issue with WWOOF is that you have to pay a fee for each country you want to WWOOF in. Workaway is a better deal, because it's 30 euro for the entire catalogue across the world- though it's not just organic farming. You could be doing anything from working in a hostel to just helping some family with household chores. I've started doing that instead, and I'll be heading to spain next year for a bit of workaway.
One key thing to remember about WWOOFing, or workaway in general- at the border, don't fucking tell the agent what you plan on doing- just say you're traveling and have a fake itinerary or something. It's perfectly legal to do WWOOF or workaway on a tourist visa, but a lot of border agents don't really get that.

Thanks for the insight. I know I'm not there target audience being employed and making almost six figures, but I need a change. I like hard work as long as it has meaning. Should I look for a place near a city or far out in the country.

It all depends on your tastes, man. I've gone from the same, I took a 6 month break off work to go do some traveling and WWOOF was something a friend told me about.
Chances are, you'll be living in.. "rustic" conditions no matter where you decide to go. But I personally prefer the country simply because of how beautiful it is.
