Hello, I'm a 50 y/o male from NZ. I'm working in WA in mining and am looking for accommodation for short periods in conjunction with the mine work cycle. My background is in Farming and Earthmoving so this brings a wide range of skills that may be of some use. I'm not one to sit around while on break, I'd rather be busy helping out on a project or whatever you could use a hand with. I'm a father to 4 boys so am quite used to children and enjoy interacting with them. I've only just joined Wwoofing as it seemed a fun way to meet new people and like the idea of a barter arrangement. Regards Simon

I want to join this volunteer program because I am passionate about sustainable living and eager to learn more about organic farming and eco-friendly practices. Volunteering with WWOOF aligns perfectly with my personal values and interests, especially my involvement in zero-waste campaigns in my community. This program also offers a great opportunity for me to immerse myself in a new culture, meet inspiring people from different backgrounds, and exchange knowledge and experiences. Additionally, I aim to improve my English communication skills through real-life interactions while contributing meaningfully to the host's projects. I am enthusiastic about making a positive impact while gaining valuable hands-on experience. Thank you for this opportunity!

Note: 88 day 2nd year Visa flood recovery volunteer work offered. Minimum 3 week stay, with first week a trial to make sure you are enjoying the work and fit in. Summerleigh is a family farm in the Macedon Ranges. Jack and I are city escapees and regenerative farmers, inspired by the likes of Alan Savory, Joel Salatin and Charles Massey. Our goal is to improve the ecosystem and soils by integration of livestock, mainly cattle and chickens, to produce healthy, chemical free and nutrient dense food and we hope to soon add a small market garden to supplement our direct to market egg and beef business. We are also in the process of revegetating a sizable wildlife corridor and wetland habitat along the permanent creek in the valley below the homestead and hope to return the gardens around the homestead to their former glory, with an orchard and ornamental flower beds. Please note: work to be done along the creek qualifies as flood recovery and counts towards your 88-day visa renewal. In other words, whatever your passion is…horticulture, agriculture, tree planting, ecological restoration, rewilding, biodynamics, permaculture, holistic management, carpentry, fencing, welding, growing, producing and cooking food, rotational grazing, chicken caravans, we almost certainly have something for you to put your hands, enthusiasm and head to. The homestead is circa 1876 and she is quite a grand old lady, originally built by the Sir Rupert Clarke family for the first owner, John Hurst, esq., in exchange for land in what is now Clarkefield. You will be part of the family with your own room in the homestead and, between us, we speak/understand Italian, Spanish, French, German and Danish/Swedish/Norwegian. We have five dogs, two cats and two budgies, three Icelandic horses, a pony and a pig. Not all in the house!   We love to play tennis after dinner and also have pool that is, sadly, being renovated, so have swims in the waterhole on hot afternoons, a good way to cool off. If any of that sounds at all appealing please do get in touch Regards Lucy & Jack

To test these pernickety automations that are supposed to be working but I can't see that they are testing vision 6 for wwoof as I am not sure that the automations are working I live and work for wwoof it is my whole life and i am happy to make a difference i think I should be at at least 150 by now

I’d like to help, share and meet people in their real life. I also like working and learning. I am looking for an adventure, not holidays ! 😉 I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello! I'm a friendly and independent woman living on my 10 acres property in South Australia is near the SA/VIC border, in Wye area, 8 km from the ocean and 20 km from Mount Gambier. Surrounded by pine forests, with ocean view and magical sunsets. The land is full of unique artwork made by me. The most famous attraction is the many bicycles (towsend) along the driveway of the property. The house is large and there is a guest cabin with all facilities and a gentle 5-year-old whippet dog. Help is needed with gardening, cutting wood and general maintenance jobs. Our lovely neighbours run a hobby animal farm with kangaroos, emus, alpacas, geese and more. A peaceful, creative space close to nature and wildlife.

I joined because I want to break away from the modern cycle of stress. I’m seeking a lifestyle that’s real — grounded in soil, simplicity, and meaningful work. I’m not just looking for a place to stay. I’m looking for connection: to the land, to good people, and to skills that matter. I want to contribute to something worthwhile, learn how to grow and live more sustainably, and reset my mind and body in nature.

Our place is a  small permaculture home garden and orchard,  in the township of Daylesford in Central Victoria.  We are only a few minutes walk from local Kangaroos, the Shopping Centre, Library,  Pubs, Cafes, Restaurants, Walking tracks,  and in summer, Outdoor Swimming Pool. You will have all afternoons and also 2 days off a week.    Learn about permaculture and gardening by the moon.  We really enjoy hosting WWOOFers, and hearing of their travels, and their home country. Our guest room has an en-suite bathroom. You  may like to attend the local Sunday Market.  There is TV and Wi-Fi. There is public transport several times a day - train with connecting bus from Southern Cross Station Melbourne.  Our home is a short walk,  5 blocks from Bus Stop. Stays of  of 1-2 weeks, or longer by agreement. We prefer a couple or 2- 3 friends  or families, who don't mind sharing one room.

You  are welcome, if you are fully vaccinated, and are  non smokers/ non vapers.  Sewing or leatherworking skills would be great, but not essential, Check our  reviews     We would love to hear from you!

We joined WWOOF to learn more about the world of organic farming, so that in the future we can grow our own! We are both excited to get our hands dirty and get stuck into some new skills.

I joined WWOOF because I love the aspect of communal living. I love meeting new people and learning about their culture. I enjoy outdoor work and labour and with WWOOFing I have a chance to do both those things while working alongside others. I WWOOFed for a month in Hawaii on an aquaponics operation and it was one of the best experiences of my life. As a kid growing up I picked berry every summer on my uncles farm and I am willing to do any job big or small.

I want to improve my english. At the moment i can speak german and farsi. My goal is to speak english fluently. One of my friend joined woofing before. She recommended to me this opportunity.

After months of receiving so much from nature and the communities around us, we feel it’s time to give back. Joining WWOOF feels like a natural next step — a chance to contribute, to learn more about sustainable living, farming, and animal care, and to connect with inspiring people. We’re coming with open hearts, eager minds, and a strong work ethic, hoping to build real relationships, support meaningful projects, and continue growing through this beautiful journey

I joined WWOOF because I want to learn more about sustainable living, organic farming, and the connection between people and the land. Growing up in the countryside in Japan, I helped on my family’s farm and developed a deep appreciation for nature and hard work. Now that I’m in Australia on a working holiday visa, I want to explore different ways of farming and contribute to communities that value healthy food and a healthy environment.

Our sheep & cattle station, Llewellyn, is 30,000 acres and is 8 km out of Longreach. We have another station of 60,000 acres which is about 85km out of Longreach and we often alternate between the two. Volunteering and life on the farm includes, but would not be limited to mustering & feeding sheep & cattle, feeding young lambs, calves and working and pet dogs, caring for the laying chickens, General Farm Maintenance, involvement in driving around the farms whilst checking stock watering facilities & also gardening. Accommodation for 1 and/or 2 people in air-conditioned cottage or self-contained bedrooms close to the main house. Some shared meals, mixed diet. No children. No smoking inside. Initial stay up to 2 weeks, longer stays negotiable.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience farm life and improve my English through real communication. I believe working with locals in nature is the best way to understand a new culture. I also want to learn more about sustainable living and agriculture, which may help me in my future business. I’m excited to meet new people, try new things, and contribute as much as I can to the host family.

In April 2019, I met up with my Brazilian friends in New Zealand for a one-month trip, but Ｉdidn’t have the chance to go to Australia, which is very close. The reason for coming to Australia this time is that my Japanese friend, whom I have been friends with for more than 30 years, wanted to come to Australia to experience volunteering on a farm. It inspired me to visit Australia through the opportunity of volunteering and traveling. I have provided unpaid volunteer service in Taiwan for more than thirty years. Served as a volunteer guide for visiting the Presidential Palace and a library management volunteer. Now I have been working as a volunteer in a Buddhist group.

Matan’s Lodge is a mixture of art, fun, beach & gardens in a permaculture setting, halfway between Margaret River and the beach. Artists & visitors stay here to enjoy the chance to create, exhibit & reconnect to nature. Non-artists who stay with us, help with the running of the place and often discover their own mediums of expression. Volunteering is varied and includes gardening, help with art installations, landscaping, help with maintenance of hobby farm and Gallery. Fun & creativity are the essentials... and many have called it the ‘perfect lifestyle’.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to experience a more meaningful and grounded way of traveling. Rather than just passing through places as a tourist, I wanted to connect with the land, the people, and the lifestyle in a more personal and sustainable way. WWOOF gives me the opportunity to learn about organic farming and self-sufficient living while contributing to projects that align with my values. I enjoy working outdoors, being around animals, and learning practical skills that I can carry with me into the future. Living and working on farms allows me to slow down, reflect, and gain a deeper appreciation for how food is grown and the effort it takes. It’s also a great way to meet kind, like-minded people and form connections across cultures. Ultimately, I joined WWOOF to grow not just food, but myself—mentally, emotionally, and physically—while making a positive impact along the way.
