I am joining WWOOF because I want to gain more experience. I have won the "Biotechnologie Abitur-price " for my knowledge in biotechnology this year. But I also love to learn practical knowledge in biology. In our garden is enough space for two greenhouses and other spots to grow vegetables and to harvest them is always joyful for me. And so it is clear for me not just to stay as a tourist in Australia, but to be productive, improving my english skills and gain new experiences. WWOOF offers me the perfect conditions to do so.

I want to make my time in Australia more meaningful. WWOOFing allows me to connect with locals, learn new skills, and experience something unique that I couldn’t get from regular city life or part-time jobs. Australia has beautiful nature and large farms, so I want to experience that lifestyle and learn how people live in harmony with the environment.

I joined WWOOF as I have an interest in sustainable living/farming. I also greatly value being part of a community, particularly focused on hands on/outdoor work. I love to get my hands dirty and get stuck into a task/activity. And of course, I’ve joined to meet some like minded people!

I'm really interested in self-sufficient, permaculture, or some way to live with animals and nature. In this modern era, we even don't know where the food we eat every day comes from. We just go to a supermarket, buying some packed foods and consume them, then throw away many plastic. I don't know how a farmer grow vegetables, picking/packing, transporting to the market. I don't know how to milk a cow, how to kill pigs, how many people are related to transport these products and determine the market price. I feel this is crazy. I want to know and experience how foods I consume every day are produced and come to the table. I often search how to start self-sufficient life, wondering how to do, and found the best way is to learn from people who realise the self-sufficient life. There're several work exchange sites to provide similar service to WWOOF like Helpx, Workaway, and I'm also interested in such services because cultural exchanges is also very attractive. However, my main purpose is to learn how to realise the self-sufficient life, permaculture or any sustainable way of life. WWOOF is the best work exchange sites to connect with the host.

I join woofing To see different small scale farms and learn more about organic et regenerative agriculture. I need to learn as many things as I Can to build my own farm in the future

A friend recommended WWOOF to me a while ago, and now that I'm coming to Australia, I believe volunteering is a great way to connect with local culture and learn more about farm life. It also feels like a nice first step toward the farm work I'll need to do for my second-year visa.

We want to learn about permaculture and organic farming. We want also improve our english and meet new people for open our mind. We would like to open our organic farm in Italy in the next future.

My own abilites and personal skill-set has been able to grow immensely throughout these experiences. I have enjoyed roaming nomadically for almost a decade now. An unexpected and wild solo expedition that has lead me to become the capable and confident woman that I am today.

We have travelled much and had years working overseas. We find people of all cultures interesting and people who stay with us are treated like family. Volunteering is such things as making fences, gardening, making pathways, cutting firewood and generally keeping our 2 hectare property in order.

We are a 25 year old permaculture designed bamboo garden full of useful and edible plants with comfortable self contained accomadation for 2 wwoofers with all the sevices and good wifi. We have many native animals on the property plus ducks chickens and a dog. We have also lots of quality fresh water

I plan on spending a few years in australia, I love gardening and growing veggies and chatting with like minded people. I would also love to learn new things especially around the self sufficient life style .

Bolwarrah Gardens is situated at the southern tip of the Central Highlands of Victoria at 610m above sea level with rich volcanic soil, spring-fed dams and shelter from winds via tall pines. The property has 150 established olive trees, a chestnut and hazelnut grove, 12 apple varieties, as well as berries, plum, pear, cherry, apricot and fig trees over 5 hectares. The veggie patch and greenhouse grows organic vegetables enough for two families with plenty of preserved goods to use over the colder months. The ornamental gardens provide a biodiverse oasis with beautiful colour and form for year round interest as well as flowers for the bees and plenty of organic matter for making compost. Compost is also activated by a herd of guinea pigs which graze grass under the apple trees and eat vegetable clippings. We make our own wood chip to mulch trees and garden beds and keep worm farms for fertility. We make our own bread and exchange for eggs and goat's milk made on neighboring farms.

I would like to learn more about gardening and about different ways of life. I enjoy the beautiful outdoors and getting to know new people. I love to share my knowledge and learn from others. I would like to learn skills to be more self-sufficient in living off of the land and feel empowered by building this knowledge and understanding. I enjoy reading and meaningful conversation as well as exploring new cultures and environments.

We lived on a Swiss farm and are very interested in what farm life is like in other families. Also we like to get cultural exchange and improve our English
