I joined wwoof because now would be the perfect time for me to engage in the work on a farm, before uni starts around April. I want to see what actual farm work is like and how you can make it as nature friendly as possible. I love meeting new people and woofing is just right for that as well :). I hope I can learn a lot about nature and how to life sustainable, wwoofing just sounds amazing to me!

Gday hosts! My name is Huon, I am 23 with my partner Jess who is 29. I am into surfing, diving and being outside! Myself and my partner have a big passion in living a low impact life eating organic food and connecting with the people around us! My background is in civil construction and concreting. Through my work I’ve done everything from creating wetland systems, concrete jetty’s, road projects, small estates and bulk earthworks. As I’ve grown up always been super involved with working in the garden and being out in the bush. I always have the drive to learn more about living within nature and the skills that go alongside that! I have joined wwoof so that I can gain many more experiences that grow my skills, quality relationships with others and outlook on life. Very excited for what the future holds. Kind regards Huon smith

I believe in the power of learning through experience and the idea that working on organic farms can provide invaluable hands-on experience that books and classrooms can't replicate. I'm eager to immerse myself in different farming environments, learn from seasoned farmers, and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse practices within the organic farming community.

To be able to gain new experience working on various farms and living with different communities. To immerse myself in different farming methods and be able to travel the world while doing so. To meet interesting people and build connections

“Willing Workers on Organic Farms” there is something to be said there.First of all you have to be Willing to experience something different, to be willing to get out of your “Comfort Zone” and that is not appealing to “sadly” lots of folks.A lot of folks like to stay in a space that is comfortable, but the way I see it Change is the only way to experience new life adventures.As I mentioned in other section I love to travel, to really try and experience “you don’t know how far you can go till you go as far as you can go”.secondly you have to be willing to work, and woofing enables you to get outside and feel connected to the land, and become one with it rather then feel separate from it.That was the wonderful thing about that long canoe trip, I was powerless over what Nature put in front of me, Wind determined every move I made, that and the weather staying dry was paramount !! I definitely felt part of nature rather then separate from Nature.If I could sum up the whole journey in one word it would be “HUMBLING” I was humbled every day from weather, from the love that folks gave to me along the way.There is A lot of love out there if you are willing to experience it. I have spent most my life on the water, it was rewarding in its special way, but now I want to experience the “Land” in a special way, and working on a organic farm, working with other like minded people towards a common goal is a powerful way to experience the beauty of life.

We both want to learn more about permaculture and sustainable farming. We love the idea of working close to nature with locals, while respecting the land and the traditions.

I like to learn different culture, and I thought this is the best way to experience the local life style. I like eating, drinking, and talking with people from different countries because it’s not only fun, I can get wisdom from them! I’m sure that joining the WWOOF makes my life richer. I’ve been studying Japanese culture so hard because I love it. So if you’re curious, I can tell you all about Japan! I would be happy if you could come to like Japan:)

I want to learn about life and culture in Australia. I want to improve my English and engage in cultural exchange by living with people from Australia.

Grace Residence, Paradise House is a large straw bale, earth rendered pavilion style homestead surrounded by a lush one-acre, 26-year-old established sub-tropical food forest and a 3 million litre picturesque dam. We have 5 acres, with handy Zone One and Zone Two food gardens and a productive orchard with a large variety of common and exotic fruit tree guilds, berries, and nut tree guilds. Our homestead grazing paddock is just under 2 acres. Our surrounding farm is 66 acres and is used to graze jersey cows, horses, miniature goats, and chickens in chicken-tractor. Our animal systems are often set up on a rotational or holistic management basis. We are located in the Sub-tropical bioregion of the beautiful, fertile, Byron Bay hinterland on an organic permaculture demonstration farm with a Permaculture Education Centre and Camp, commercial kitchen and campground facilities on suite. You have the option of camping on platforms in the campground or joining us at Paradise House, our residence as a guest border. The property has been the base for the International Permaculture Research Institute and is now an Eco Hamlet. The Channon village is just across the river. The Channon is home to Australia's original art, craft, and farmers market, which we enjoy every month. We are surrounded by three beautiful rivers and have proven to be floodproof due to our extensive water management and water channeling systems across our 66-acre property. The iconic village of Nimbin is only 20 minutes away and as professional artists and musicians, we enjoy the creative and permaculture-friendly lifestyle and international expertise of both permaculture and the arts that thrive in this region.

We live on 176 acres purchased in 1975, situated at the end of a valley and the end of the road. Chinaman’s Creek begins on the property. We follow organic & permaculture principles. Work varies with what we are doing and can include gardening, pruning, weeding, fencing, shed building, animal care of horses cats & dogs, renovations, fencing. Varied accommodation for up to 4 people in our caravan, shed, or BYO. Children b.a. Vegetarian meals. Prefer non-smokers but smoking OK outside with restrictions. Negotiable stays after initial visit, but ideally, we would like someone, perhaps a single, a couple or a family to be long term for awhile.

 Through WWOOF Japan, I have had a lot of nice experiences, so I like  WWOOF. l heard that the WWOOF program is more active in Australia, so my dream is to take place foreign  WWOOF program in Australia. The coronavirus has settled down these days, so I registered for WWOOF Australia.

I am eager to participate in WWOOFing to learn from expertise and experience. I am particularly interested in learning about agriculture practices, acquiring new outdoor skills, and connect with local people and I believe that WWOOFing will provide me with valuable opportunities to do so. I believe my skills and work ethic will make me a great contribution to any WWOOFing project. I am a hard worker, I am eager to learn new things, and I am always willing to help others.

To get a more diverse view of Australia than just working in the trades, and to complete my 88 days to be eligible for a second working holiday visa. I am most of the way through and just need a few more weeks.

I joined WWOOF as I feel it would be positive experience and an interesting way to explore Australia whilst helping the agricultural side of this beautiful country. I enjoy a challenge and being in a rural environment and working with my hands and body therefore feel WWOOFing would be well suited to me and I’m in a place where I am able to do this at this moment in time.

Aligned with my interest, by joining WWOOF I hope that I’ll get an opportunity to live and work on a farm, providing an authentic experience of the local culture and way of life. I discovered it recently and became too excited to try it myself. I think WWOOFing is a wonderful way to merge my interest in travel with hands-on experiences on farms around the world. Hope it will be an exciting journey, where not only gain valuable agricultural skills but also forge connections with like-minded individuals and contribute to sustainable farming practices. WWOOF community offers a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and cultivate a deeper understanding of our planet. I'm thrilled to be a part of this global network and eagerly look forward to the enriching experiences and friendships that await.

I love animals and the nature. I like to work physically. I hope to get new animals and new humans as a friend:) besides I know how hard it can be(even if it's the dream of life) to work every day on a farm and thats why I want to help farmers with their work.

Our goal is to discover other cultures than our own and to gain an open mind in the simplest and most local way possible. We would like to live an experience with local people to learn more about the culture and customs of the same country. Wwoofing on an agricultural farm, meeting people, developing the local language, working on the market gardens or being in contact with a place of education are for us a real opportunity to grow and open up to other cultures.

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 really stumbled across WWOOF on my own as I was looking for volunteer/short term working experiences on farms across Australia. My brother and a few close friends are currently road tripping around Australia and I heard they were picking up work and cool experiences as they went. Naturally I went googling as that sounded so great and I was tied to Brisbane for the short term. I checked with a friend who had heard good things so decided I should sign up! I plan to spend 1-2 months (around December, January and February) similarly travelling and as mentioned above, trying out the farming lifestyle.

I would like to discover lots of different people and environments and I think wwoof is the best thing for that. I think it's a friendly place and there is no pressure like in business.
