I am planning to travel from my home in Victoria up along the East coast in July this year 2023 for two or three months. Ill be in my Van which is all set up and Im seeking like minded, plant folk to stay with, helping out in gardens/homes/on projects. Sharing stories, ideas, wisdom, food and seeds! I work in a Medicinal herb garden so have many seeds to share and can assist with planning/setting up home medicinal plant gardens and or sharing how to make your own medicines at home from plants. Id love to work more with animals too! I joined WWOOF because I have a deep desire to live, love and work closely with the land and all her beings. I want to meet open hearted souls who are connecting  into the greater elements and forms of this world- outside of the fixed human-made spaces. Im wanting to move towards a life of right relationship in all aspects of my existence- learning and connecting with others so fundamental to this. Please contact me if you feel resonance with my words 🙂

Im looking for a job atm, so in the meantime I hope I can enjoy myself and people making new friends and relations, as I also like to keep myself busy, specially when it is about helping and working besides people, building or working the ground.

The first reason that’s why I want to do WWOOFing, it’s because I share the values ​​of this experience and because it's the year of new experiences !! I think I can learn news skills with work on the farm. In France my work not was really concrete, and I need do concrete tasks. Secondly, In France, I’m very near to my family and I would like feel me near to an Australian family to discover their culture, their family life and be util ! I think it’s a better mean to start my adventure in Australia.

I joined WWOOF through WTC and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

I'm always interested in learning about new ways of farming while seeing more of the world. I've lived in several countries and enjoy bringing my skills to a new location while learning about a new area.

I’m interested in learning more about Australian agriculture, nature and house holding. I figured this was the best way to go about it. The way of the regular tourist doesn’t satisfy my needs for integration in local everyday life, and besides I really like physical labour and fresh air. I’m trying to find a place close to the sea, with good food sources and foraging nearby.

I join wwoof because I came for the firste time alone in Austrlia and I want to start with something new and farming is a good start for me. I also want to speak a beter english befor i go work so it's the perfect place for that. It's also a good think to put in my CV, it could benefit me in my professional future.

I am currently traveling and I want to meet with locals. As part of my trip, I am looking to develop new skills and knowledge. I'd like to learn to be more manual and really be in contact with animals.

The Wellness Garden is just north of Noosa, near the market town of Pomona. The property is only 5 acres, however we have native bushland, a creek, a dam with many beautiful birds, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a chicken. The garden has grown organic vegetables and using permaculture methodology for the last 10 years, offering healthy delicious vegetables for a local retreat centre, markets, and barter. During the big rains and floods of 2022, the house and property was badly damaged. We lost many trees and the complete vegetable garden. And now we are rebuilding. We want to regenerate the areas most severely damaged, and reclaim the vegetable garden, being mindful what has been learnt from the rains and floods.

I believe that Wwoofing is an incredible opportunity for cultural exchange, learning, and sharing. I am confident that I can bring positive energy, a strong work ethic, and a deep passion to help advance your project. I am excited to immerse myself in Australian culture and learn as much as possible while providing my support.

About Patrice: Patrice Newell was once on Television. But she left that industry in 1987 to become a sustainable land manager and writer/researcher dedicated to developing and communicating improved agricultural systems and innovations in an era of rapid climate change. Elmswood Farm has been her obsession ever since. We are a Bio-dynamic/organic farm producing and retailing garlic, olive oil, beef and honey. The WWOOFing jobs depend on when you are with us. Sometimes we are busy, especially November and April, other times not so. Accommodation for 4 in own house next to ours, some shared meals, mixed diet,  No smoking inside. Initial stay 2-4 weeks, longer stays negotiable. What work experiences are available to WWOOFers? Volunteering includes planting, mulching, weeding, harvesting, clipping or packing garlic. Stock work available for those with stock experience. Fencing work depending if WWOOFer is strong and interested.

I am passionate about regenerative, organic and sustainable agriculture and believe in the importance of authentic food and organic farming. In last few years, I have been practicing Zen lifestyle and I have experiences in giving tea therapy and meditation class. By becoming a WWOOFer, I hope to learn hands-on farming techniques, immerse myself in the farming community, and contribute to the sustainable food movement. I look forward to sharing experiences, knowledge, and helping on your farm.

I joined WWOOF as a part of my gap year and I am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. Above that, I want to gain new experiences and learn new things.

I've dreamt of a small hobby animal farm and bed and breakfast since I was 15. Being a city girl, I've been taking little steps to gain exposure and experience. I spent 2 weeks on a permaculture hobby farm in Waipaiwa, NZ and loved it, life changing experience - besides working the greenhouse and food forest, caring for chickens, a pony and a cow, we also worked in their organic grocery store which was such a dream. I spent 1 week on a family run commercial farm in Victoria and worked on the vineyard and livestock, enjoyed it thoroughly too! I am currently in the right space to finally be able to spend a year or two gaining more experience and exposure. I am so keen to learn everything and anything about managing small farms and keen to give back by helping as much as I can! I will however require flexibility to accomodate my dog and my work (open to any causal jobs in your area). I’m currently looking at part time remote roles - once this is secured I’d be able to align and start my wwoofing journey! (Praying to commence spring!)

After graduating I want to get to know other countries and new people plus I really enjoy spending time in nature and working with my hands

I joined this program because I love helping people and being of service. I also believe humility is the best teacher and I know a farm has the ability to humble me and bring me back to center.

Having finished my master in chemistry and biology in Paris and waiting to do a master in Australia, I would like to discover the local culture by WWOOFing 🙂 I would find it amazing to have the opportunity to take care of animals or to help run a campsite or hostel in exchange for hospitality! Also, I would love to be able to improve my surfing skills so if I can find an opportunity near the sea that would be great 😉

I joined WWOOF on the suggestion of a dear friend in NSW ... and straight away it felt like the lifestyle for me. I believe I've already addressed much of what I'd like to achieve in the previous question, but perjmhaps I may indulge and expand upon the national community initiative I'm involved with. Called My Place Australua and established by Darren Bergwerf, we are a bunch of like minded people, misfits, dreamers, black sheep and free souls around 12000 strong now. We innetstand that the greater human collective is not in very good shape at all, and that indeed some entitled, wealthy and influential parasites both on the public and private sectors are behaving very dishonourably and not in good faith, in violation of laws and rights, criminally and fraudulently, to usher in a technocratic authoritarian global governance of the unelected that sees their little club ever more controlling and overreaching into the lives of good and honest Commonwealth subjects forced into servicing generational debt slavery, taxed literally to the death at every turn, required to be licensed or consenting to disturbing levels of regulation and over reach very negatively dispossessing most of inherent and inalienable rights, freedoms and liberties, and leaving the notion of self determination in how we all interact and contract within community a distant memory. Parents are filled with fear and not as available to their children, the elderly atmre farmed out to decline and pass in mostly undignified conditions, we have children barely out of nappies themselves rearing our babies ... and the cost is unacceptable in terms of how list, confused, void of identity, purpose and direction and so much more our youths minds and spirits ate left to become adults in the work, consume, entertainment rinse and repeat cycle. We recognise such conditions I'm the broader community as being nothing short of a clear and present threat to the broader growth of our species, and allowed to continue on its current trajectory, our silence becomes our consent and approval to allow a very very dark dystopian age to come fully into existence. Once in place and with technology where it already is, it may very well be an impossibility for the good people of the world to ever fully emerge out of or live fully as our Creator intended. We really are done with thinking and talking and sense an ever increasing urgency and seriousness in such matters. Our motto is PUTTING THE UNITY BACK INTO COMMUNITY". To achieve this end we know the focus has to shift to unity in action, in solutions applied ... it is no longer enough to think and talk in unity. So with that said the primary focus initially in our resist and push back on all this rubbish is for the individual to fully take account for and work towards being competent in nourishing physical, mental and spiritual health and well being ... natural and holistic alternatives that address causes not symptoms. Once our men and women have done the best by self in relatively small and achievable goals being reached, then the individual is most likely in a best possible overall space to bring his/her own natural strengths, talents, abilities and of course passion to the bigger, longer term collective striving to affect the change we all of know deep down needs to occur. Bringing pastoralist and graziers together in providing non GMO, heirloom and organic products to market, presenting to local council meetings and holding those unlawful governors to account, advocating in the courts, and keeping law enforcement honest. We know full well we shall never ever for a moment destroy or topple the system as it currently operates ... an organised network of pirates and gangsters in suits and ties break8ng la2s to make laws that serve their questionable aspirations ... a posse of gatekeepers where thos who make the laws protect those who interpret the laws both protected by the armed thugs that do nothing more than enforce what and who is creating and interpreting ... we don't print or hoard the wealth that pays for the perpetrators to be protected in carrying out their crimes. But we have a solution or two. We believecthat thete is so much that is important, functional and needs to stay that exists in the current system ... we need to keep, but change, and continue to mould effective systems, procedures, processes and institutions ... for example Medicare, Superannuation and Aged Pension, Welfare, Hospitals and Medical centres with competent engaged well trained staff, primary, secondary and tertiary education institutions and so so much more. But it needs a total peeling back and resetting with control and influence back in honourable good and clean hands, for all or any of it to be effective, productive, efficient and respecting of rule of law, lawful due process and those with authority to enforce that law. As for the rest of it, this broken, corrupt, colluding, and miserably failing threectieted system of governance, rotten and evil to the core, no longer truly nationally Sovereign but absolutely a blend of corporate wraith, power and influence having no separation from governance, actively working the best interests of everyone not in the club. We seek simply to turn our back on all that is offensive and repugnant to our core nature and sees us living under guardianship and unfettered surveillance and control. Indeed we seek in every way possible to turn our backs on that rot and exist in parallel ... exiting the urban centres and repopulating our regional parishes, bringing lost life and energy back whete its most needed ... totally from a mindset of self determination prepared to compromise reluctantly as required to keep certain things in place ... but we now choose how we interact and contract with one another... we define what value we place and how on our blood sweat equity, no more top down authorities instructing us on how we live and die, but a round table of influence and leadership where every voice must be heard equally and often at a round table. What has brought us to this point in history creatively repeating itself once more and quite deliberately by design is at least a four to five generation effort ... and we would be fools to believe any of this will be even close to discovering a full and complete rectification in our lifetimes ... undeniably to restore and renew to acceptable order itself will require a consistent, organised, very diligent and vigilant course of action from many over multiple generations ... but what's at stake of being list or polluted and stolen from the unborn through apathy and complacency, lack of recognition of duty, responsibility and obligations in our conduct. For myself personally I cannot perceive a more challenging and worthwhile cause to be a part of ... what a wonderful opportunity and time to be alive than to call oneself to action ... reluctantly and begrudgingly yes ... none of us really likes to bear such burdens of leadership and being under the spotlight ... but for me I see no more noble and honourable an opportunity than to be a part of that posse that drew that line in the sand and became ANZAC again ... because something needed to be done and everybody had a part to play. I believe done right there is opportunity for all to bounce a grandchild on their knees and fondly exaggerate and embellish the part they played in the great resist and even that for me is enough to remove all comfort and convenience and just bloody well get on with something very important that needs to be done. We already ate and can become so much more than we've conditioned to accept ourselves as being ... it's time to remember and reactivate all that and it's a very urgent matter. So in summary I guess I've joined WWOOF because in terms of the My Place Australia initiative, I believe I may discover ways and means of peacefully but very effectively, at the very least catalyse an ongoing situation whereby through giving the best of all I have to give voluntarily, in regional communities and with particular focus on youth, with my needs of nourishment and shelter being the reward to comfortably and confidently do what I perceive as being my little bit in all of this. It May provide the ability to explore all around and inside this great nation of Terra Australis in an organised, composed, deliberate, non reactive and hopefully relatively stress free manner. Now for me that's one sure fire way to live free and liberated and unbeholden to any ... whilst at the same time achieving goals and change that matter folks ... not just to me in my life but in the hope of more and better for all the yet to live ... the unborn that should not pay the price for a generation or two that stuffed things up pretty royally when it was their turn to guard and protect that which took much spilt blood to bring about.
