Elmswood is a beautiful property of 160 acres located just under 30km from Bathurst in NSW and 22km from Blayney. We grow organic eggs to sell locally. Breed and show Paint horses, Miniature Mediterranean and Irish Donkies, Hereford cattle and Alpacas . We are in a peaceful rural area surrounded by beautiful rolling hills of pasture. Paradise! I have been establishing the property for the past 12 months and there is still a lot to do.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience sustainable farming and learn more about nature. I’m interested in living simply, helping communities, and gaining hands-on skills. This will also give me a chance to meet people from around the world and share cultural experiences.

It gives me a lot of peace and satisfaction to deal with animals. I enjoy caring for them, observing their behavior and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.I used to ride horses for almost 2 years. It was great interacting with the horses and working with them. Dealing with animals helps me relax and gives me a sense of responsibility and satisfaction. I also think it is important to learn where our food comes from and how it is produced. Learning about growing vegetables and other products really appeals to me, because I enjoy eating tasty and healthy food. By understanding how food is grown in a sustainable and responsible way, I can be more conscious about what I eat while increasing my knowledge about nature. For me, caring for animals and enjoying good food is a way to relax and enjoy everyday life.

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian horse ranches and rural farm life.

In 2026, we are planning to use our LSL and take our family on the road around Australia. A big part of this trip will be education for our kids (who will be aged 5-11 in 2026). We think working on different types of farms will be a great, practical, hands-on way to learn a lot about our food and our country, and connect in with the local community. We also think it will be a great opportunity for them (and us) to develop confidence and skills that city kids don't often get much of a chance at. In addition, we're really interested in sustainable farming practices like regenerative agriculture.

I hope to find places where I can meet like-minded people and learn and experience about a lifestyle in connection to nature. I like to work in the farm and wake up with singing birds (not traffic) around.

To take part in an exchange of my labour for cultural and technical learning. I enjoy gardening and working outdoors. To make my extended holiday less mundane. Maybe to help me be less afraid of coming across snakes and spiders in Australia.

In my personal life, I am passionate about learning new things, meeting new people, and embracing challenges. Recently, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and explore new opportunities abroad, which is why WWOOFing in Australia appeals to me so much.

When traveling I like to get out of the city as fast as possible and start exploring the culture. I believe that wwoofing is a great way to see the real Australian culture and also to gain interesting experiences

I decided to join the WWOOF program because I wanted to experience life in a different country and learn how people live close to nature. I’ve always been interested in farming and sustainable living, and I think working and living on a farm will be a wonderful opportunity to learn new things and grow as a person. I also wanted to join WWOOF because I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I believe that staying with a host family is the best way to experience local life, improve my English, and make real connections with people. I’m really excited to help with daily farm work, learn from you, and share my culture as well. I hope to be a positive part of your family and make great memories together during my stay. Thank you for welcoming me into your home!

We both like to be actively and productively engaged. It helps us to connect with locals and we get to see and do things that most travellers miss. We are also able to utilise a lifetime of experiences to bring mutual benefits to our hosts and ourselves.

The property is 6 acres, covered with native bush (forest) with a cleared area around the house. Situated on the NSW Central Coast 80 kilometres north of Sydney and near Narara and Gosford train stations, the area contains National Parks for hiking and many clean beaches.

I decided to join WWOOF because I want to learn about organic farming and sustainable lifestyles through real experience. I also want to live with people from other countries and improve my English through daily communication. I believe this experience will help me grow not only in language skills but also in my way of thinking and understanding different cultures. I would like to learn the importance of food, nature, and working together through this opportunity.

Located in Old Beach, approximately 25 minutes from Hobart, our hobby farm offers a tranquil retreat where you can experience the best of rural living with convenient access to the city. Having relocated here seven years ago, we have cultivated a sustainable garden that is a haven for native birds and is supporting our busy beehives. All hard work has been done and the focus now is on maintenance, improving the soil quality and enjoying the ever changing colours of happy plants. We are passionate about organic gardening and uphold a commitment to sustainable living practices.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.
