I'm a mature man with varied life experience. I have lifetime experience in horticulture, revegetation and catchment management. I’ve briefly been a teacher and have background in permaculture. I have strong interest in sustainable and creative communities. I'm here to meet people with similar interests and to enjoy some gardening. I look forward to speaking more and cultivating interests.

We participated in this program hoping to gain new life experiences within the limited time we have as university students. We also hope to experience life, culture, and agriculture overseas, experiences that we cannot have in Japan. We also hope that by coming into contact with diverse people and values, we will be able to think about our future and what we want to do.

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.

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.

Hi, my name is František, I’m 25 years old and I love exploring new places and meeting people from different cultures. I want to volunteer because I enjoy helping others, learning new skills, and giving something back to the communities I visit while traveling.

I’ve found the Woofing Hosts always seemed to have the best stories. It is always to so wonderful to hear about other people’s journey of life’s adventure, and if we get some great work done along the way -even better! “My godfather used to have a farm, and it was one of my favourite places to go. Somehow getting your hands in the soil, places your feet on the ground. And give me a familiar sense of home when I am travelling for work or exploring new adventures.”

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.

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 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.

i need to finish my second year visa and love to explore new things! My mates had had a blast working as Woofers so I also wanted to give it a try! I am looking for a short stay oof 1-2 weeks.

there is no time like the present.

We are located in the beautiful Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne, Australia.  The area is renowned for it's wineries and natural features such as Mt Donna Buang, waterfalls and the meandering Yarra River.  We run a wildlife shelter, caring for small numbers of native wildlife.  Predominantly kangaroos and possums.

I joined WWOOF because I love giving a hand where it’s needed and learning from the people I meet along the way. After working in environmental research, I wanted to get out of the lab and actually work with the land. I learn best by doing, and I enjoy building, growing, helping with animals, and picking up new skills from people who live this lifestyle every day.

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.

I'm hoping to gain more experience on farms/small holdings to learn more about sustainable agriculture and different techniques used. I'm also in-between jobs and not one to sit around doing nothing and would much rather be helping out with a someones garden or building project somewhere I'd also like to meet some more like minded people

Hi, my name is Juliete and I have a son called Sunny. We are looking to create and establish a long term and lifelong food forest as well as find friends and family to plant, build, create, care and maintain this food forest. So that everyone who looks after this food forest always has food and water and nobody runs out due to droughts, wars, famines or diseases, or political unrest. We are learning and practicing living off grid and self-sufficiency skills and lifestyle, so that we can create this food forest and also pass these skills, lifestyle and knowledge to my future children, grandchildren and descendants as well as future friends. We are into vegetable gardening, foraging for food, food growing, food preserving, seed saving, food storing as well as animal care (husbandry), caring for animals, and caring for people and plants. We interested and learning and practicing building natural shelters, and all that comes with such as plumbing alternative energy such as solar panels, and water wheels. Other things we are practicing is permaculture, biodynamics. We are very clean living, we don't use drugs, we don't smoke, and we don't consume alcohol and we have no addictions. I, (Juliette) have one other adult son. We are searching for family and future family and friends to help us create and maintain this peaceful, beautiful food forest oasis.
