To learn about how to grow great food and to get back to the original and most necessary processes that I believe are integral to basic standard of health and well-being.

I would like to learn about organic farming and the local life in Australia. I was a Wwoofer in 2015 in New Zealand and stayed for one week with a family. I did some gardening, weeding, animal care and played with the kids. I really enjoyed the because because for me it is the best option to meet locals and learn from their lifes. Before I will start my next job in Germany, I want to clear my mind and regain new energy with a stay on a farm in Australia. This year we would like to start planting our own veggies and fruits in Germany and I hope I will return back to Germany with more experience and useful advices.

Our farm is in a beautiful valley called Goldie, just east of Lancefield in the Macedon Ranges. We are near Wilimee Mooring, an Indigenous green stone quarry and one of the oldest in the world. Our farm is 70 acres; half bush and the other half olive grove, veggie garden, chook pen, creek regeneration, paddocks, house and dams. Melbourne is just over an hour away.

We want to share our passion for cuisine, to learn on organic farms about methods (permaculture, regenerative agriculture, pick in the wild...), to travel to new places, to meet people and practice english...

Last year I went to Bali to take care of sea turtles with other students from all over the world. It was a very nice experience, and I have learned a lot about life in general but also about me.

WWOOFing is a great way of getting started in a new country. It gives you time to explore an area and plan your travels while not spending money in accommodation. It's also a nice way of getting to know the customs of a place you've never been to before.

I joined WWOOF for get out of my comfort zone. I want discover an other country, an other culture, help others in their daily life and get to know them.

I joined WWOOF because I do not just want to be another tourist in Australia. I want to experience the country, its people and culture with a more concrete approach. After a ton of research, I came across WWOOF and it seemed like what I was looking for.

Now I'm travelling in Australia with my girlfriend, Sarah with our Working Holiday Visa, to work in a winery during the Harvest. Before and after the harvest time, we travel and discover Australia, in our car, and in Tasmania ! Wwoofing it's an occasion to meet Australian people and nature, work and discover this amazing country ! We have our own car and we are ready to work !

A close friend of us talked about WWOOF and we knew immediately that this was something for us. We love the concept and wish that this will be the way for us to come closer to the farm life and the country itself!

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

To see more of Australia, meet new people, educate ourselves about where our food comes from and to learn about farming practices that are good for us and the environment.

My true passion has always been with animals and nature. Being with and taking care of animals is what instantly reloads me with energy and makes me truly happy. Back in Sweden I will eventually start my education to become a vet nurse. Being outside in nature is also something that I always loved, wether it is an adventure, such as hiking, climbing, diving or sailing; or simply just working outside, I always loved it. Anyway, right now things are not as they used to be for any of us with COVID-19. I'm still here in Australia trying to find a place to stay and a volunteer work anywhere in Lisborne and Far North Coast, NSW area. Until the 25 November I will travel up the coast with my friend. My plan is to find a place to stay and do some WWOOFing again because that's something I really enjoy, meeting new people - share stories, knowledge and work outside in nature. Contact me through my number or e-mail in the contact details. I will be able to come and help in the end of November after 25th with what ever you may need. The ideal time to stay for me would be about 3-4 weeks. 2 or 5 weeks is also okay! Hope to see you guys soon! Cheers and love, Alice

To visit other farms. We would like to learn new skills that we have not yet learned. We have visited one farm with other WWOOFers and it is enjoyable. It is a good community where you can meet people from different countries. We have met French and German so far.

We look forward to meeting new people and gaining new experiences. We find it nice to get in touch with the Australians to improve our English. It's good, but not very good yet. We also love the idea of ​​wwoofing because you support each other.
