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.

Our small plot intensive farm called MAD Rams Potager Gardens is at it infancy stage of development. We are committed to a number of farming methodologies which include permaculture/ no dig principles and Aboriginal traditional agricultural practices which we believe make a our farm somewhat unique. We are want g to create an ecologically supportive sustainable farm which has the ability to adapt to changing climatic conditions while also bring to the local community both traditional foods and introduced foods which complement each other rather than compete. We also have a beautiful historically rich spacious home which we are happy to share with volunteer WWOOFers...we also welcome volunteers to gain an understanding of Aboriginal culture and the Australian culture which makes this beautiful country unique...our farm has some challenges but we have a vision which we believe every volunteer will be able to leave an eco footprint...we hope to foster great relationships shared knowledge and some wisdom in our exchange...MAD Rams Potage Gardens will be one if the first market gardens in our area which is exciting and challenging yet definitely rewarding. We have amazing birdlife and animals we are surrounded by one if the most intact temperate forests in the world and a beautiful bay. We are also located in the gorgeous night skies of the aroura Australia lights....We chose this beautiful place because if it's dependable rainfall community and opportunity to give back to the land and eco system in keeping with Aboriginal custodial tradition. We welcome you to consider joining us for part of our journey and be part of MAD Rams establishment... We will also open our home for you to experience traditional and home cooked meals.

We joined WWOOF to engage in and contribute to a sustainable way of living, while also building genuine connections in an authentic way. For us, it's about challenging ourselves, learning new skills, and getting to know different everyday lives.

We joined WWOOF because we want to experience new things beyond regular tourism, learn about local life, and connect with people in a meaningful way. For us it’s also a more affordable and sustainable way to travel as a family.

I am not intending to be a full time commercial farmer in the near future, as I enjoy my current profession. However, I do want to be able to grow my own food, as well as make a bit of secondary income. While in Australia, it is difficult to progress my professional career much because of Visa restrictions, but doing WWOOF will definitely help me learn skills and gain experience for secondary life goals.

In many of our travels, we've been inspired by people who build their homes off-grid, sustain themselves with food they grew, and make their communities more loving and resilient. Eventually we'd like to do the same. Wildland fire is a cool job in many ways, but it's taxing on the spirit (we work more hours in 6 months than many do all year). So, while we save up for land of our own, we plan to enjoy the biggest perk of our job: 6 months off to travel and learn. We hope to connect with organic farmers and learn what it takes, exchange stories, make friends, and maybe make some art too. Lots of other firefighters recommended WWOOF, so here we are.

I was a Wwoofer when I first traveled around Australia during my time with WH. That time, I  just traveled around as a Wwoofer in Japan. I came back and registered again here in Australia to gain new experience in the country's lifestyle, such as self-sufficiency, organic farming, and accommodation management. I can use a wide range of power tools, including all gardening equipment and DIY tools. I can handle a variety of housekeeping tasks, including manual labor, assembly, creative work, DIY, cooking and cleaning.

I joined WWOOF because I want to learn not only about farming but also about how people live. I hope to improve my English through everyday communication and life on the farm.

We run a horse business and are located on 150 acres. We have horses, donkeys, poultry and sheep. We grow organic vegetables and fruit tree plantation.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience authentic farm life, learn from local hosts, and contribute in a meaningful way. It’s a great opportunity to connect with nature, meet inspiring people, and grow personally while helping out.

20 acre permaculture designed organic fruit and vegetable hobby farm. The design encourages an abundance of  wildlife with natural bush land, creek and dam. Surrounded by temperate rain forest there are no overlooking houses so it is a tranquil environment. We have accommodation for up to 2 to 3 volunteers; a very peaceful self - contained recently renovated cabin (with wi fi and tv ) for 1 - 2 people and other accommodation is situated in the main house if necessary. Volunteering includes vegetable gardening, orchard and bush maintenance including pruning when required harvesting seed and fruit, duck and chicken care.

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!

Being curious, sociable and full of energy WWOOFF appeared to us the best way for travelling around such a huge country that Australia is. We are very excited to travel around the country, to meet locals and learn the Australian culture!

I joined WWOOF because of my love for Nature. I know my heart belongs in the forests, mountains and beaches of our beautiful planet. I hope to share of my Self and my wisdom with others and to be a source of abundance in the life of as many people as possible. I love organic food and healthy living and I believe that healthy food is medicine and can heal people on many levels. Joining WWOOF I hope to be able to travel around the country, to meet amazing people, to learn about growing organic food and about life itself and to be intimately connected with nature.

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).

I am an artist and live in a large suburban home on the corner of a main road. There are 4 people living here at the moment (2 tenants, my adult son and myself). I work as a freelance artist with ongoing deadlines, and also spend every evening with my 101 year old mother (who lives across the road in an Aged Care facility).  With all this, I am very time-poor, and most meals are seperate due to my unconventional hours. But I am very happy for you to cook or join me when I’m having a meal 🙂 You need to be able to work unsupervised and have an open mind, and be prepared for a different experience as it is not the typical wwoofing framework. Volunteering includes help with vegetable garden (weeding, composting, planting, mulching, watering plants) and general gardening, odd jobs around the house and help with various art projects. Also, on nice days I would appreciate if you could sometimes take my mother out into the sunshine). Accommodation is for 1 or 2 people in guest room or cosy converted garage. Mixed diet. The work hours =  4 hours a day (with flexibility), with one or two days off a week. After working you are very welcome to spend time exploring the city which is a half an hour train ride. There is a local pool, cafés and shopping centres nearby. Life in our household is calm and relaxed and suits those who enjoy peace and quiet. 10 minute walk to train station and 25 min train ride to city. Cannot take WWOOFers from May - October.

Day's Walk Farm is located just 22km from the Melbourne CBD and a short trip from Melbourne International Airport - it is a real Certified Organic suburban farm - though it's tucked away in a quieter part of the valley, where a cool river runs lined with red gums. We grow mixed certified organic vegetables. We're also establishing a small apricot orchard. We have been at this farm since March 2015 and farming is one step at a time - a lot of work! So I could do with a hand. This is a great place for someone who enjoys working outside and cooking with a range of fresh farm produce. Work includes planting seedlings, weeding, whipper snipping, propagating, picking, some building projects and market garden work. We're a commercial farm. Accommodation is quite basic on the farm, in an old shed converted into an apartment or a cosy caravan. We use a bush bucket shower and compost toilet. The bus stop is a short walk up the hill, and using the bus and the train you can connect with Melbourne independently on your days off. The internet is accessible via satelite and hotspot for emails. I ask volunteers to work five days, taking two off. Work stops at lunch time, so the afternoons are free. However, there are also lots of books to read during your down-time, under the trees by the river. We recently bought a few board games too and we're currently installing a shed cinema and ceiling suspended day bed. I regularly get on the mat to do some yoga. Market garden work is quite physical so these activities help to balance life here. Shared meals and cooking using fresh produce from the market garden, mixed diet. No children. No smoking inside. Initial stay 2 weeks, longer stays negotiable. Cannot take WWOOFers in the middle of winter. If you aspire to be a farmer then this is good place to check out. Note that we run internships too, for those seeking a structured learning experience for a longer period of time. Find more information on our website: dayswalkfarm.com.au Staying at Day's Walk Farm is certainly an adventure, not a picnic! Thanks ! ! !

I have a bachelors in Environmental Studies and I want to apply it in a more community-oriented way. Plus, I love meeting new people and trying new things, so I am hoping that WWOOFing will be a great way to do both.
