We decided to join WWOOF because we wanted to immerse ourselves in the local culture, learn new skills, and give back while traveling. Coming from city life, we were eager to experience a more hands-on, sustainable way of living. We love the idea of helping out in exchange for knowledge, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences. WWOOF allows us to meet amazing people, discover different ways of living, and step out of our comfort zone. We enjoy the physical work, the fresh air, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with contributing to a project. Whether it’s gardening, house maintenance, or learning about sustainable farming, we’re always excited to get involved and grow from the experience. Looking forward to meeting more inspiring hosts and fellow travelers along the way! 🌿😊

I joined to learn how to manage land, in hopes that I buy my own land one day. I value connection to food and being sure of its quality. I like the idea of raising a family on a farm one day in the future.

I love traveling, meeting new people, helping out, and being physically active. I'm a nature and bird lover and want to learn more about the Australian wildlife from people who work outside every day. I would love to see a platypus in the wild. I'm looking for small organic farms with kind people.

When I realised about WWOOF I thought this sounds like an incredible opportunity! I can stay with amazing people in beautiful places while learning so much as well. It's also an opportunity to give back to the hosts who are gracious enough to host us.

Our "farm" is 64 hectares. We purchased this property as a "downsize" from our career certified organic farm, which we had run for 47 years. On "Murramia" we have cattle, sheep, hens, a beehive and a garden for beauty and food. We have begun to develop a whole environment design to our new farm with the installation of a dam, associated overflow control drain/swale and a direct seeded treebelt of native species. Our animalls came with us from our previously certified organic farm. We were able to get "Murramia" as a certified organic farm but have decided to dis-continue maintaining certification. We do still continue only using organic practices. Ron has received numerous international and national awards for his sustainable environmental design of agricultural landscapes and recently has become involved in sustainable urban designing using the same whole of environment approach. We have 10 hectares of native bush which if any of our animals are so found within the fenced off area do so under great risk of being "exiled". Suzanne is into granite rocks and patchwork!

I’m here in Australia with my partner Ethan. He is a kiwi from New Zealand and I am from Israel. We are here because we decided that as a couple from different countries Australia can be a good place to settle because Ethan can be here as long as he would like and my working holiday can last for three years. It will give us time to see how things are going and to make our relationship more official by partnership visa. We are looking for places that will make us feel at home and that we would like the surrounding as well. we are both experienced in horticulture and farming, Ethan have a creative mind, he knows a lot about building, fixing things and more.

I joined WWOOF USA back in 2015 which led me down an awesome path in viticulture, plus I met some amazing people. Love the WWOOF program and can't wait to get back into it!

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience Australia in a deeper, more meaningful way. I love the idea of connecting with locals, learning new skills, and being part of sustainable and community-driven lifestyles. WWOOFing is a chance for me to get out of my comfort zone, work with my hands, and learn more about farming, gardening, and eco-friendly practices. I’m also excited to meet like-minded people, share cultures, and create lasting memories while contributing positively to your farm or project.

WWOOF Webmaster Profile

I’m looking for a peaceful place to stay where I can experience real Australian nature and space. I’m currently searching for a farm job, and I feel that WWOOFing is a beautiful way to stay active, learn new things, and connect with people while I wait for the right opportunity. I’m curious, open-minded, and ready to help with a positive spirit!

I joined WWOOF to have a more immersive experience while traveling around Australia. Farming is a passion of mine, and I saw this as a great opportunity to connect with communities and learn about farming practices from around the world. I’m really excited to be part of this program and look forward to participating!

Urban farms and productive gardens connected by gates. Joes Connected Garden at Elizabeth Grove grow a vast range of fruit, herbs and veg (along with ducks, chickens and bees); Andrews Urban Farm at Elizabeth East grows veg and fruit, but also has honey production, aquaponics and a flock of prizewinning ducks and chickens. We have two small nurseries and a significant national fig collection as well. Around 15 properties are connected across the two locations, of which around 9 will be available for wwoofing. In our properties we focus on education and host frequent workshops in all aspects of edible gardening and associated horticulture, including propagating, pruning and grafting; resident wwoofers can attend our workshops for free. Wwoofers can gain skills in various aspects of organic gardening, and also in garden-related construction and the use of tools. We are engaged in community development and we host regular activities for local schools, including for indigenous students and those with special needs. We maintain close relationships with grassroots community groups and wwoofers can expect to visit at least one of these in their time here. John, one of our garden owners, is into cooking and loves experimenting and learning new recipes, so when he is available, wwoofers who like food are most welcome. Our giant wood oven at Andrews Urban farm always looks forward to events and workshops with yummy contributions from visitors.😁

I stumbled on WWOOF through a search while trying to find new ways to volunteer in Melbourne. I volunteered a lot in the U.S. so I wanted to be able to continue doing so here. I found WWOOF to be unique since it would allow me to help those who need while also getting to know those in my community.

Riverpines is a 20 year old organic vineyard in the Broke Forditch region of the Hunter Valley. Set up in the late 90's as a top shelf grape producer it has great bones. The new owners are working on a transition to a more integrated farming approach bringing in a variety of other produce and companion livestock. With a focus going forward on using biodynamic principles Riverpines is set for interesting times. Come and join us for a few days or move in for a while... Kind regards, Simon

We decided to join woofing to help us integrate more easily into Australian society while working. Indeed we are sociable and we like contact with people as well as discovering new cultures.

I am very interested in learning about agriculture/farming in Australia. Some of my best memories have been spending hot summers outdoors in my Papaw’s garden, eating fresh fruits and playing with chickens! I would love the opportunity to work on Australian farms, learning about plants and hopefully playing with some sweet animals! Additionally, I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures and WWOOF is a great opportunity to immerse myself in Australian culture while simultaneously giving back to the community!

I have always been drawn towards giving back, whether that is helping people, animals and nature or the environment. I am particularly interesting in doing work within wildfire and flooding territories. My career aspiration is to become a firefighter. I hope to gain more experience and different skills through WWOOFing, and I am looking forward to meeting people and making long-lasting friendships from all over the world!
