I would love to continue to build my skills in gardening, permaculture and natural building, and meet interesting people along the way. I have spent some time volunteering in Ladakh on natural farming projects, and in Australia doing some natural building, and would love to explore more volunteering options that involve herb, flower and market gardens. I am also very keen to learn about beekeeping and cheesemaking.

I'm a university student in Japan. I have just started college, but due to the the situation of corona, I have not been able to enjoy my college life as much as I would like. In this situation, I wanted to experience a different culture in the wilderness, so I decided to participate in the WWOOF!

We are looking to expand our knowledge, meet people, see new places and have a break. We have been working pretty long hours the last few years so before buying our own place we decided to go traveling a little and make sure we going down the right path by putting ourselves in different situations.  

Hope to learn new skills, experience different environments and make friends along the way. Enjoy outdoors and farming organically is something I'd like to do in the future.

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building work such as fencing. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Volunteeering on our farm includes sheep & cattle stock work, farm chores, fencing, organic gardening, milking cows, tending sheep, chickens & turkeys, pruning trees and whatever else needs doing. At the moment we have some baby lambs and calves that need to be fed and taken care of. If you are interested in learning something new and getting to know what life on an Australian Farm is like, you are more than welcome to stay with us. We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills. We hope that you will have an unforgettable and unique experience with us on our rural farm in the Australian outback. We generally prefer longer stays.

I am looking for an opportunity to incorporate mushroom growing techniques into current practices on a WWOOF farm. I can also help to build a mushroom farm and make excellent use of bi-products to build soil and increase organic matter and productivity. To this end I have created a series of designs to help accomplish this. I can create small structures very cheaply using aircrete technology that is extremely insulative, fire resistant and also vermin proof. I have also designed a water activation technology that will help to reduce water usage and soil water retention. This technology is excellent for producing high quality compost teas. My skills are in design and implementation of wholistic systems. I am looking for a long term position that would allow me to assist my host in the implementation of a productive enterprise or a system capable of sustaining a small community. I am of course very happy to help with day to day tasks. If any of this interests you I hope that I will hear from you soon

WWOOFing seems to be the best way for me to get many experiences around the agriculture and our environment across Australia. I want to disconnect from the proper working contracts and get to meet people in their actual life and share it for a moment.

To get work experience as I can’t find a job after doing my certification due to lack of experience. I’m hoping to learn skills to also help me personally as I love veggie gardening. I’d like to meet new people and see new places.

Horse farm, Equine therapy center, trail ride and lessons  150 acres

• It's been one of my dreams to connect and work with great nature and animals in Australia. I would also love to practice my English.

I am planning to come in April.

We have a six acre property half way between Sarina and Sarina Beach which we purchased 14 years ago. The six acres was cleared with very little vegetation or trees when we purchased. We have created zones on our spray free property with over 200 different fruit trees, a rain forest and many other garden zones. We are now in the process of converting our house yard to a zone 1 with 18 grow beds and a large greenhouse to be more productive. We have a large flat that is fully self contained with all amenities adjacent to our home. We have 3 rain water tanks which supply the house and flat with filtered water. We are very fortunate to live in a community with many other permaculturists, which we come together on a fortnightly basis to swap produce, learn and share skills. Our property supports a large cross section of natural wildlife and we also have many bee hives for our Natural and pure honey supply. I use our home grown produce for our homesteading needs. Our property is on a hill with a wonderful view facing Mt Chelona hence our property is called Chelona View. We live 5kms from Sarina Beach, which is a picturesque walking and fishing beach. We are also close to Finch Hatton Gorge and Eungella National Park. Airlie Beach is only 3 hours drive north of Sarina.

Family living in Suburban Western Sydney for over 23 years. Host, Rosanna enjoys using the knowledge and skills gained back in 1993, after completing a Permaculture Design Certificate Course as well as Advanced Permaculture Certificate Course. Experience also gained by WWOOFing internationally. We have several fruit trees, including some exotics and an abundant vegetable/herb garden.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids, Katharina, is living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

We joined WWOOF to extend our holiday for as long as possible. Also to learn about organic farming we hope to own our own hobby farm 1 day so any tips and tricks we pick up along the way would be hugely beneficial to us. Lastly to meet some amazing people and make new friends.

Belted Galloway cattle farm in the southern highlands. We milk these cows, too - they love to be patted. We also raise chickens for breeding and eggs, have a Permaculture veggie garden, and have just planted hazelnut trees. We are at our next stage of bushfire recovery having completed fencing and felling some trees. There are many tasks still to do even though it has rained and looks green. We need to expand the permaculture areas, constant weeding, pruning fruit trees, planting bare rooted vines and transplanting fruit trees. We also maintain a small wildlife reserve on part of the farm and look at grasses to make sure that the wombats we co-exist with have enough to eat. Volunteer tasks include feeding chickens, tending veggie garden, moving cattle to strip graze, milking cows (in non drought situations), weeding, collecting firewood, composting & worm farming. Accomodation for 2 within our home. Shared meals, all cook together. Mixed diet. Vegetarians & vegans catered for. Children b.a. No smoking on property. Initial stay 12-14 days. Longer stays negotiable.

I recently met someone who had an amazing experience WWOOFing and I was really inspired to try it as well! I really love travelling, but with COVID going on and what not I figured now's the perfect chance to travel and explore more places domestically. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain new experiences, meet more people and make new friends, and get to know different parts of Australia more in-depth. I don't have any direct farm skills, but I'm a quick study and always eager to learn! I'm keen to give everything a shot, so I'm super open to any and all experiences! 🙂

We are hoping to gain access to welcoming people and interesting ideas for living life in the fullest, simplest way.

A disused holiday park on 8 acres of land with clean accommodation. It sits on the edge of Wilson Inlet with a small jetty. There still are four fully functional chalets.It is 9 km from the town of Denmark.There is also a trail from here that leads into the town centre.

We moved in to this 100 acre property, situated between Pemberton and Northcliffe in the South West of Western Australia, at the end of 2018. It is surrounded by stunning karri forrest and on the crossing of the Bibbulmun walking trail and the Munda Biddi cycling trail. We have a productive home orchard and veggie gardens, as well as ponds and a lake with marron, the largest freshwater crayfish in the world and pretty tasty. We have cows, sheep, chickens, and a couple of worm farms. Also a very energetic young pomeranian dog, Rupert. Plenty of water is also a bonus in this country. In addition to our rammed earth house, there are also 4 holiday cottages on the property. Most of the time, our helpers can stay in one of the cottages if it is not during busy holiday times or long weekends. Otherwise, they stay in our house in the spare room. We have spare bikes for our helpers, so that they can go and explore this beautiful area.

Projects include:

During the winter months, David is busy planting lots of trees, so you will be able to help create a lasting benefit for the future. There are trees for fodder, shelter, fruit and some for longer term timber resource.

We are experimenting with regenerative farming and improving the soil with growing a diverse mix of grasses and making and applying compost teas to increase the subsoil life. Other ongoing projects:

Constructing and maintaining permaculture gardens and orchards, picking berries and fruit. Planting native flowering plants for the bees, propagating and seeding vegetables. 

Making compost and mulching the gardens. 

Woodworking projects, ranging from making greenhouse to re-fitting kitchens in the cottages.

Chopping firewood and collecting kindling.
