I chose to join WWOOF to enjoy new experiences in volunteering, meet new people and create unforgettable memories. In fact, I've already spent four months volunteering in South Africa in 2023, an adventure that made me grow a lot. What's more, I think the WWOOF concept is perfect for students like me, as it gives us the opportunity to contribute to the development or projects of our hosts, while allowing us to immerse ourselves in the culture of the country. It's a win-win situation

Because I want to try new things communicating with local people and learning culture. I've never experienced farming, gardening or something like that before. So I'm really interested in it, and I'm so happy if I have chance to try it learning a lot of new things in Australia. I hope to get used to Australian lifestyle, learn about Australian culture and farming, and improve my English skills by WWOOFing.

I join WWOOF for improve my english, meet some new people with differents cultures, discover the country of Australia by working and travelling. Experiment new jobs.

The reason why I try to join in WOOF is that I would like to have an opportunity to stay with people in different background and work in a form. Australia is known as agriculture contry in Japan and I can see a lot of inport products from Australia such as beef and flour. Thorouh the experience of WWOOF, I would like to learn about Australian agriculture and get great experiences in Australia. I would be glad to work in your nice farm. Thank you!!

Hi my name is Annie,   Are you looking to learn some gardening and regeneration skills in the beautiful Byron shire? Then look no further... There is also paid work in the area but you will need a car from the property

This is the best way to discover another culture, learning new ways to live and work. I hope to share with my host a part of my background and hope he is doing the same

As a resident in highly urbanised Hong Kong, farming has always fascinated me. It is to me, a way to work with our Earth to grow food. I am eager to join WWOOF Australia to develop a deeper understanding of farming techniques and sustainable land management. Large scale farming in particular. I wish to expand my horizons in the field of agriculture through this volunteering experiencing. I believe participating in WWOOF would help me expand my practical skills as well, in areas like crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and permaculture. Last but not least, I would also love to meet like-minded individuals who enjoy being close to the environment and finding sustainable ways to grow food. This opportunity to immerse myself in organic farming communities in Australia aligns perfectly with my interest for environmental stewardship and self-sufficiency.

Sub-tropical mango farm & specialty shop located 20km outside of Broome is a WWOOFer's paradise! Our property is 5 acres, with the shop and our home at the front, surrounded by luscious palm trees, bamboo trees and, of course, mango trees. Part of the property is equipped with individual share homes, or personal trailers. Volunteering includes: processing & labelling mango produce, helping to make a variety of specialty mango products such as natural soaps and candles, maintaining & loving our vegetable garden, chicken coop, and all that is agriculture on our land. You can relax on our communal verandahs & in our hammocks after the day's work, or swim in our pool if you don't want to go to Broome for a dip in the Indian Ocean. Accommodation for 8 in on-site homes or trailers. You will have a comfortable kitchen, bathroom, and showers. Some shared meals, plus food provided to prepare your own meals. Mixed diet. No children. No Smoking Inside.  Prefer long stays.

I joined WWOOF as I felt that it would be a great platform for me to connect to different farmers and learn more about Australian culture. As I am studying Agricultural Science, I believe that the skills that I will pick up from these experiences will be beneficial as well. Not only that, this would be a great way for me to take a break from my studies!

I'm drawn to WWOOFing in Australia because I love the countryside and thrive on new challenges in nature. It's an opportunity to immerse myself in rural life, contribute to farming, and grow personally. Excited for this journey!

Around 40kms North of Brisbane, 30 min by train, Farm Animal Rescue is a registered charity that rescues farm animals from abuse, neglect and situations where they are in danger and provides them with a forever home.

The city's hustle and bustle have become too much for me. I'm tired of the noise, the crowds, and the never-ending rush. That's why I've decided to settle on a farm. On the farm, life is simpler. Instead of honking horns and crowded streets, I'll wake up to the sounds of birds singing and the wind rustling through the trees. It's a peaceful escape from the chaos of city living. I'm looking forward to getting back to basics on the farm—growing my own food, breathing in fresh air, and feeling connected to the land. It's a chance to slow down and appreciate the little things in life.

The Urban Farmer Blue Mountains - Co-Creating a Creative Space for Community to Connect. This space is in the throes of design, construction and planting. Full steam ahead over the next few weeks, so I'm getting REALLY eXciTeD. We are ramping up / tidying up / putting finishing touches on anything we can to get ready for the upcoming Blue Mountains Edible Garden Trail on 2-3 March 2024. I can accommodate a couple or 2-3 friends travelling. If there is more than 3 people, hit me up and we will discuss our options. Would Love Love LOVE Your help. The design incorporates a Pond Performance Space (think .. singers, musicians, actors, stand up comics, storytellers and poets), Edible Food Forest (densely planted), Workshop Space, Healing Room, Breakout Areas, Communal Circle with Fire Pit, a Pizza Oven in the Dragon's Lair (it will actually be in her tummy), Bush Tucker Walk / Aboriginal Dreaming, Children's Play Space, Chickens, Worms and Whatever other Creative Pursuits we can collaboratively add. The Zen Space is now going to be in a spiral located on the forest edge, so would love to get that happening before we open as well. Our primary purpose is to teach Permaculture. The space is being set up so that interested parties will be able to teach what they are passionate about. We will build and connect Community through Workshops and Performances which will be offered at a nominal cost.

I joined WWOOF because i want to have new experiences in my life. I always wanted to go abroad and meet new people but i hadn't had the courage until now. So what i hope to expect is meeting great people, share experiences and learn new things about farming and handiwork and just caring for animals.

Despite my interests in production animals, I could not get to experience much animal husbandry practices as I grew up in urban areas in Korea. As I wanted to learn more about Australia's livestock industry and also in a sense that veterinary school strongly encourages us to engage in extramural animal husbandry studies, I applied to sign up for WWOOF. As a vet student, I hope I could contribute to hosts’ duties in a more professional manner, practicing basic husbandry skills from handling, mustering, vaccination, drenching, and artificial insemination. Besides, having the understandings in running a farm would also be a precious chance for us for our future career. Also, having the experience to stay in rural Australian farms would give me and my friends more meaningful chance to explore real Australia and make memorable experiences immersed with great nature. We are also excited to make friends from all over the globe as well as the hosts in Australia.

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 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.😁

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

For a few years now I wanted to travel to Australia. When I heard about wwoofing it fit perfectly. I have always had an affinity with animal and nature and would like to learn more about it. I signed up for wwoof because this way I can travel longer, help out locals, learn from them and experience Australia in different ways. I have nothing specific I want to learn. I just want to learn some general skills and just listen and learn from my hosts. I would be grateful to learn their culture and their way of life.
