I grew up working on a horse farm in Ohio, but in recent years, my life has become increasingly urban. I miss the connection I used to have to nature, animals and rural life. I have previously found WWOOF USA to be a great way to regain this connection. As a solo traveler I find that it feels safer when arriving somewhere with a legitimate connection and a plan for the coming weeks. I also love to have routine and purpose in my day.

I joined WWOOF because I want the chance to work on farms in different countries, gain new experiences, meet new people and learn more about new cultures. I felt WWOOF was the best way to accomplish this while at the same time growing through hands-on work that I couldn’t experience at home.

Visa Extensions for my second and third year. Looking for experience that can help me find a fully paid job later in the future. Farm and agriculture has always interested me so I can give it a try.

A great way of seeing rural parts of Australia and learn new things and hopefully met interesting characters. I love animals and have spent time on family farms growing up which I enjoyed. I’m an outdoor person and would like to see how others manage and live on the land using different techniques in growing and farming.

I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn hands-on skills, connect with people who share a love for the land, and experience simple living with purpose. I’m curious, reliable, and eager to help wherever I can — whether that’s gardening, caring for animals, cooking, or lending a hand with community projects. Back in home and prior to moving to a city, I grow up in a rural small town where my grandparents have a farm I go to every weekend and so I'm excited to use my holiday breaks to be immersed in nature, learn new farm/life skills, help on farm projects and meet new people/lifelong friends!

You would have your own cute caravan in a privte spot with a newly built shower and toilet facility

On our 5acre rural block in Clear Mountain, we are surrounded by birdsong, wallabies, koalas, and a host of smaller bush critters. Our place is a peaceful blend of bushland and creative space. While not a full-scale farm, we have a small pineapple patch, a few avocado trees, and 500 Silver-Perch fingerlings growing in our dam. Our main environmental focus is native bush management—preserving the natural flora and fauna, particularly for our local koalas. Alongside this, the property includes a working art studio and gallery space.

WWOOF gives us the opportunity to get in touch with the authentic life of an Australian family. We are interested in doing new things, learning about farming and get closer to the nature.

Through WWOOF I hope to meet people with similar dreams and interests. I hope to be able to learn and listen aswell as share my views & things I know. I am so happy to be able to travel to Australia, it would be wonderfull to explore the australian nature and culture.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to give real meaning to my summer. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting people from different backgrounds, but this time, I wanted to experience something more authentic and human than simple tourism. Woofing seems to me like the perfect way to do that : learning, sharing, helping, all while being close to nature and animals. Having grown up in the countryside, I’ve always enjoyed working outdoors and being around animals. I practiced horse riding for ten years, and from that time I’ve kept a real appreciation for effort, respect for living beings, and the satisfaction of being useful. I like feeling involved in a tangible project, where my help can truly make a difference. For me, WWOOF is much more than just a trip, it’s an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, to discover a new culture, to learn new things, and and to connect with people. I see it as a deeply enriching experience, one that reflects my values of sharing, kindness, and open-mindedness.

Urban farms and productive gardens connected by gates. Joes Connected Garden at Elizabeth Grove grow a vast range of fruit, herbs and veg (along with ducks, chickens and bees); Andrews Urban Farm at Elizabeth East grows veg and fruit, but also has honey production, aquaponics and a flock of prizewinning ducks and chickens. We have two small nurseries and a significant national fig collection as well. Around 15 properties are connected across the two locations, of which around 9 will be available for wwoofing. In our properties we focus on education and host frequent workshops in all aspects of edible gardening and associated horticulture, including propagating, pruning and grafting; resident wwoofers can attend our workshops for free. Wwoofers can gain skills in various aspects of organic gardening, and also in garden-related construction and the use of tools. We are engaged in community development and we host regular activities for local schools, including for indigenous students and those with special needs. We maintain close relationships with grassroots community groups and wwoofers can expect to visit at least one of these in their time here. John, one of our garden owners, is into cooking and loves experimenting and learning new recipes, so when he is available, wwoofers who like food are most welcome. Our giant wood oven at Andrews Urban farm always looks forward to events and workshops with yummy contributions from visitors.😁

We have come out of early retirement to start up our Boutique Potted Christmas tree farm on small lakeside acreage on the beautiful Atherton Tableland near Cairns in Far North Queensland. Lake Tinaroo is recognised as a world class fishery for large stocked Barramundi fish and social water sports. The Tableland area has a showcase of scenic waterfalls, locally grown produce, restaurants and interesting must see villages. Its Avocado and other tropical fruits and vege farms provide plenty of casual work in season.  We have now been in operation for nearly four years and have grown our stock from seed using solely organic principles.

I recently purchased a small home in rural Japan and I am looking to acquire the skills necessary in order to live off the grid, free from the constraints of capitalism. I aim to learn homesteading techniques through hands on experience, taught by the people who know best: the ones who are living out my dream! I am mainly interested in permaculture, alternative energy, the repurposing of discarded items, and seeing other degrowth techniques in action.

I registered on this site after hearing about the experience of one of my seniors who went to Australia using this site. I thought about going on a working holiday, but I decided to use this application because I wanted to be directly involved in agriculture.

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. About 15 to 20 minutes to the beach and town by bike. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies and kangaroos at our farm and if you are lucky you may see echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, fertilizing, pollinating, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation, and other jobs as they become available.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners. Accommodation for up to 3 in our home, although we usually prefer 2. Shared meals, cook together. We eat a healthy, sustainable diet.  Bron is vegan and while Ray eats most foods, many meals are vegan or vegetarian.  Vegetarians & vegans catered for.  No children, no smoking, all stays negotiable on application. Please let us know your available dates when you apply and the length of time that you would like to WWOOF here. (1 to 2 weeks preferred).
