Above all, I seek to learn by joining a team that promotes social connections and the exchange of knowledge. Participate in a project that makes sense, whether towards the environment or human relationships.

I love agriculture and nature. And I was impressed with this system. I felt that wwoof might provide the answer to how I wanted to live my life from now on, so I wanted to participate.

I joined WWOOF to experience local life and culture. I want to learn by helping hosts with daily tasks and being part of their lifestyle and community.

I have helped with farm work in various areas of Japan. I would like to use this experience to volunteer in Australia as well. Also, this is my first time living in Australia, I would like to learn more about the Australian culture and the Australian way of life. Living directly with local people is also the best opportunity for me to get more practice in speaking English. Please tell me about it!

Rusty Gum Farm is a 70-acre family-run property in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland. We grow and process organic ginger, sell mature ornamental olive trees, and produce small-batch infused honey. Our farm is home to koalas, native bushland, three horses, two alpacas, a Maremma sheepdog, free-ranging chickens, guinea fowl, and turkeys. We welcome WWOOFers who are keen to learn, help out, and enjoy life on a working farm with a focus on sustainability and community.

We chose to be part of the WWOOFing community because we believe it’s important not only to experience and enjoy the world around us, but also to give something back — whether to the land, the people, or the communities we encounter. To us, WWOOFing represents a beautiful concept: one that brings people together through shared experiences and offers the chance to learn from one another in meaningful and lasting ways. It feels like the perfect opportunity to explore the deeper layers of what makes Australia unique. As two naturally curious and open-minded individuals, we are eager to expand our knowledge wherever we go. WWOOFing offers the ideal environment to learn more about organic farming and the dedication, effort, and passion required to keep such systems thriving. Especially in today’s world — where challenges like climate change, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification are becoming increasingly urgent — we believe it is essential to learn more about how we can work with our natural resources in a sustainable way. Learning sustainable, hands-on practices through WWOOFing could be a step in that direction, and one we are truly excited to take.

I'd like to volunteer on a farm because I’m looking to continue slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and learning practical skills in a hands-on environment. I really value meaningful work and the chance to be part of a community, especially one that shares a love for the land and sustainable living. I’m curious about growing food, caring for the environment, and gaining experience that could help me explore a future in this area of life. I'm easygoing, enjoy physical work, and love the idea of learning from somebody who has a genuine care for the environment.

I joined WWOOF because i want to discover Australia in a different way, by meeting locals and learning new skills through hands-on experience. I'm open to all kinds of work, and to help out, learn, and share moments with people from different backgrounds. I'm also here to improve my English, as i currently only have the basics, what i learned at school. For me, WWOOF is a great opportunity to grow personally, gain new skills, and enjoy Australia beyond the usual tourist experience.

Our property is 94 acres, nestled on the northern face of Mt Barrow. It is a bush block, mainly Myrtle and native rain forest with a large dam for trout fishing.  

We have a friend and my brother who have totally enjoyed experiences working with woofing, and wanted to embrace and enjoy this culture. To see more of the world, learn and experience other worlds and lives. Meeting people along the way.

Our goal is to learn as much about home steading, gardening, and animal care as possible, as our goal is to design and build our own self-sufficient home and gardens. We love travelling and both have a keen interest to explore Australia, meet new like-minded people and expand our knowledge and understanding about these topics.

To live in one of the most beautiful country in the world, be in contact with nature while feeling the warmness of a local family. I currently do not need money so I’m willing to give my help in exchange for learning, accommodation and possibly food. Also, time together would br great as I am not the best person feeling good being allne.

August-October. Winter is upon us but Spring will be soon. Activities over the next 3 months: seed sowing in the greenhouse then pricking out, potting and planting; weeding the winter vegetables, pruning, mulching, preparation for Spring planting; general tidying of beds and different garden areas. 10 acres/4 hectares on granite-derived soil, the NE facing land sloping towards a fenced and treed creek. A non commercial 'hobby farm' with no livestock. Vegetable garden beds, reticulated irrigation system, winegrape vines, mature River Red Gum and Yellow Box trees, new plantings of mixed native trees and understorey, sowing and establishment of native grasses. Accommodation in our home which offers guest bedrooms and bathroom in separate part of the house to our living area. Learn vine maintenance, wine making (activity depends on timing), propagation, plant protection. Help with general horticultural maintenance.

I want to get a perspective from different parts of the world, along with culinary experience from a wide range of places. I feel that hands on experience is much more important than textbook learning. I also hope to gain a better understanding of the places that the ingredients I cook with come from.

A small cattle farm in the South Burnett setting up for self sufficiency with a food forest and edible gardens. There are many tasks we need help with, from building, fencing, gardening, cleaning and painting among others. A friendly couple in our 50’s with two small inside dogs, some chooks and cattle. Experienced farmers with some knowledge of permaculture, soil health and animal husbandry. Good home cooked meals, queen size room with shared bathroom.

The main reason I want to join WWOOF is because I love nature, enjoy a simple lifestyle, and support green energy. I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible in my daily life. I started working at a young age and have been exposed to many different industries, which made me appreciate a more simple and pure way of living. I hope this kind of simplicity can be beneficial to both the environment and living beings. I don't want my life to be solely driven by money or human interests. Instead, I hope to do things that contribute to the common good of the world—things that bring me joy and fulfillment. A friend introduced me to WWOOF, and I became very interested. I hope to join, learn things that aren't available in Taiwan, and experience things that I wouldn't be able to in my home country.
