I’m passionate about animals and nature and have been wanting to try something different during my time off. Joining WWOOF feels like the perfect way to experience life on a farm, meet new people, and give back through volunteering. I’m also excited to learn new skills and explore more of Australia while connecting with like-minded people.

I see WWOOFing as a perfect opportunity to connect with locals as well as people from different countries and cultures while learning about new jobs, broadening my horizon about the world and traveling affordably. I like that WWOOFing fortifies the concept of striving for a sustainable way of producing goods/food and living because that is fundamental for the future of this world.

We joined WWOOF so that we could get the opportunity to meet people who require some extra help. As we’re travelling around Australia it will help us find somewhere to stay on our travels and in return we know we can provide our hard working ethic

I wanted to live with Australian people and do work related to agriculture. I'm interested in Australian life and working animal farm, so I think it is a good choice to help their farm while living with them. I also want to practice and improve my English language skills.

Not available Autumn and Winter. I live in Warburton about 75 kms east of Melbourne, in the beautiful Yarra Ranges. My property is just one acre, but I have a vegetable patch, 15 established fruit trees (12 of them citrus), blueberry bushes, various other berries and a range of Australian native trees and bushes attracting native birds.

I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I am a really open-minded person and think that WWOOF is a great oppurtunity to meet know people and get to know something about the actual life in australia - outside of the very touristy areas.

This human experience is wild and abundant and I am eager to lean into learning more about sustainable living and gaining primitive skills. I’ve been living off grid, in different communities and homesteads for the greater part of the last 6years. I am so passionate about this alternative lifestyle and the ways I’ve grown with it. So more is more and I will keep growing in this journey through wwoofing until the day comes and I set down my own roots.

This is because I want to experience a lifestyle closely related to agriculture and nature. Although I am currently living in an urban area, I am interested in sustainable living and food self-sufficiency in nature. I also want to experience local culture and values through interaction with local people. I would like to have the opportunity to deepen my connection with people and learn different ways of thinking and living not only through farm work but also through communal living. As a researcher of food and agricultural education, I would also like to play a role in communicating its value to those around me. As a first step toward this goal, I would like to learn and gain awareness in the real world through WWOOF activities.

I am keen to gain land management skills and learn about permaculture farming techniques, as I hope to one day have a permaculture farm and land of my own. I am passionate about living as sustainably as possible, and consuming little, and the best way to do that is to connect with community, grow your own food, and work together. I am hoping to get to know you, your community and family, your land and animals, and that we are able to teach each other new things. It is also a small dream of mine to document my travels and teach others via social media and/or blogging about the great places and communities that Australia has to offer, and why supporting local farmers and businesses is one of the most sustainable things you can do for the environment. Think Global, Act Local.

Earlier this year, I had the incredible opportunity to travel for a month in the southwestern and western regions of Australia. This journey was filled with memorable experiences, such as spending two weeks camping with friends, attending captivating a show at the Health Ledger Theater, and feeling the adrenaline rush at drag a racing and speedway event at Perth Motorplex. What truly stood out to me during my travels was the remarkable hospitality of the locals, their dedication to preserving nature, and their love for wildlife and farm life. These aspects left a lasting impression on me and sparked a keen interest in sustainable living and farming practices. I am eager to immerse myself further in this lifestyle through WWOOF and to bring my energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn to your farm.

I joined WWOOF to expand my volunteering experiences and immerse myself in nature. I have enjoyed every volunteering opportunity I've had and am excited to learn new skills, meet like-minded people, and contribute to farms.

I'm looking to learn more about organic farming, cooking, and many other opportunities. Very excited to spend time in Hawaii! I visited Denmark last Fall to WWOOF and I fell in love with the country. I've learned some of the Danish language from online apps and was able to communicate a bit with locals when I was there. Having that experience was truly life changing and I hope to continue that good streak. 😉

I want to go Finland in the future to get experiences as working in farm So I’ll join this member in AUS and work as a worker And also I’m curious about farm of Australia

To collaborate in projects and learn skills. To meet local people and new places. Because I still believe in people who help people and trust in others to open the doors of theirs houses

Im in Melbourne for a wedding but I also want to get my hands dirty! The farming scene here is amazing and I would love to be part of it for a while. I’ve never worked with animals (and holistic grazing) and I would love to start exploring that.

It's interesting for me to see different agriculture methods. Indeed, I always lived in mountains, used to have a garden when I was a child and loved to have my hands in the soil. Moreover, I love animals, I like to understand how they live, how we take care of them, what they like or not... On top of that, I want to meet new people, doing what they love and learn with them might be, for sure, really enjoyable. By working for someone, I firstly want to be helpful and useful. And secondly, it's a way for me to have a new experience for, who knows, working in the agricultural environment later...

Meeting incredible people, there is no better way. To travel and have my mind opened 🙂 I am by nature an intrepid girl who loves to be outside in nature and getting my hands dirty.

We joined WWOOF to meet like-minded people and contribute to local communities where we are visiting. We love making friends wherever we go and also like to get our hands dirty!

Hilldene is a hobby farm in the Avon Valley, WA. I have dairy cows and goats for milking and grow my own vegetables and fruit using permaculture practices. The milk is also used for producing butter and cheese. The work is primarily feeding and taking care of the livestock.  Also an opportunity to learn how to milk the cows, make cheese and butter. There is a large vegetable garden to feed the farm, no-till practices are used, experience will include, learning how to compost, raising seedlings, planting out and maintaining the garden.  Animal manure is collected from the livestock yards and used in the compost heaps.
