I joined WWOOF because I would like to travel in a different way and being able to meet new people and share nice moments with locals and travelers from around the world.

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

Hi, I'm Peta. I recently started my own farming operation growing vegetables, fruits and flowers to sell at local markets.

We are located high up in the rainforest mountains of the Atherton tablelands. Here on this beautiful land we grow a wide diversity of unique exotic fruits and vegetables using natural, organic and syntropic farming principles. We regenerate degraded pastures into thriving food forests, complete with a wide range of rare and exotic tropical fruit trees. We are very passionate about the work we do and strive to work with natural principles to produce the highest quality food whilst enhancing soil life and the surrounding environment. we are three generations of family living on this land and welcome visitors to come and stay with us. We offer wwoofers and inspiring, rich and educational experience. You can stay with us in a beautiful big stone house surrounded by pristine mountain rainforests. We are very friendly and enjoying meeting travellers from all around the world and sharing with them our home and philosophy’s on life. please reach out if you are interested in WWOOFing with us and are happy to speak with you and organise your stay. Thanks, Riley 🙂  

We're looking for places to work and learn that we also can use as a short term home base to explore the country. Slow travel is the pace we're aiming for. Connecting with nature & people in a sustainable and wholesome way 🙂

I want to interact with nature while studying English

J'ai rejoint WWOOF pour travailler est en échange de logement et de nourriture. Pour apprendre l'anglais comme j'étais né en Australie. Et aussi découvrir le pays

To connect with people who live close to the land and the seasons. I am interested in experiencing alternative and (more conscientious) ways of living that bring a respect for nature and each other.

I would like to start my time off in Australia, particularly Melbourne, since I don’t want to be far from where I’ll land, with doing agricultural work and with people where I can have a nice landing and introduction to the country.

I'm in Australia for 6 months with a working holiday visa to travel in the country. I join WWOOF because i would like to volunteer during this trip. With woofing i'm looking for many things : Meet peoples like foreigners but also australians. It's one of my goal with this trip ; Exchange to improve my english level ; Discover a new culture (traditions, food, ...). I make this trip to open myself up to others cultures ; Develop and learn new skills thanks to differents experiences. I worked in the same job since 8 years. I'm curious and i make this trip to learn several things ; Discover the country with differents experiences trough my travel ; Be useful for hosts. It's important to me ; Woofing is a good way for me to make savings during the trip. I hope to meet you and help you during my trip.

I already volunteerd for 18 different projects. I love to learn new skills, exchange knowledge, share parts of our life. I prefer to support animal and environment friendly projects.   Recently I volunteered for 3 month in the philippines for a couple with an organic permaculture farm. I planted banana trees, repaired fences, built garden sheds, watered the garden, transplanted, repaird and mulched the beeds, trimmed and shredded trees, grinded coconuts, looked after the cow, forsterd kittens,... They also had an organic chicken and duck farm. I cleaned the enclosure, collected eggs, cleaned the duck ponds and did whatever needed to be done. They had 5 different types of compost (worm, maggot, hot, cold and dry). We were very busy turning the piles and determining the correct composition. We add cow, rabbit and worm poop and analyzed the fungi and bacteria with the microscope to improve the composting technique to use the end product for the soil in the vegetable beds. This project offered me a variety of opportunities to develop my craft skills and my knowledge of sustainable planting and a lifestyle close to nature.   Another farm volunteering i did was in 2022 for a family with a big permaculture garden in Costa Rica. I had to plant pineapples, cut down banana trees, dig holes for cocoa trees, look after the ducks, rake leaves, built raised beds, maintain the garden, walk the dogs... We also sanded a lot of wood to renovate their house. i absolutely loved it!   Furthermore I volunteered for hostels, animal shelters, sailboats, a surfcam, a yoga and free dive center,... i also volunteered as a muralist.   I will go to australia in december and thought wwoofing would be the perfect start to crash in the real australian lifestyle. I would like to see how people live the daily life and maybe become good friends/part of the family. I am willing to share my life, time and energy and also be open minded to learn about the lifestyle and mindset of my hosts.

During my year of volunteering I worked outside a lot and the working sites often switched. One day we would be on a raft going to small bird breeding islands to take care of them, while on other days we cut down trees or went to build fences in nature reserves all across northern Germany. This way I gained a lot of skills working with tools as well as different materials and conditions and gained a lot of persistence and physical endurance. I enjoyed the physical work outside and in rural areas a lot and hope to make use of this joy in supporting farmers via WWOOF 🙂 In Germany I lived near fields and the forest with my parents and two younger brothers and often used the opportunity to be outside. I hope to meet some lovely souls on this platform and make some great friendships 🙂 Hope to hear from you soon!

Since some of my relatives lived abroad, I had several opportunities to travel overseas during my childhood. I even visited a farm in Australia. Seeing landscapes and experiencing atmospheres that I could never encounter in my own country was fascinating, and I enjoyed every trip. However, at the time, I couldn’t speak English at all, which made it difficult to fully understand the local culture and interact with the people there. That experience made me want to learn English someday so that I could communicate more with people from different countries. Later, as a working adult, I had the opportunity to study abroad in the U.S. for language learning. During my extended stay, I was able to immerse myself in the local culture, which became a truly unforgettable experience. It also strengthened my desire to live overseas again. This brought back memories of my childhood visit to the farm in Australia. I started thinking about how wonderful it would be to revisit that beautiful, nature-filled place now that I am in a different stage of life. That’s when I learned about WWOOF, a program that allows participants to stay on farms while experiencing life in Australia. Upon discovering this opportunity, I became eager to take part in it.

WWOOFing is a more affordable way to explore Australia and for the learning experience! We would love to make friends and new connections along the way.

To discover Australia from the inside, to learn more about organic farms and farmers themselves. Organic farming is a great way to make better food, while less harming the environment. We want to get involve in the process and help farmers with our energy, happiness and dedication. It's another way to discover a county, by living the way the locals lives, its really important for us.

I'd like to learn organic farming and exchange cultures and ideas with the wwoof hosts and other wwoofers. I have volunteered at a farm in Japan for a few days and learned the importance of food and how I should appreciate farmers for all their hard work. This time, I'd like to learn the organic farming in Australia, the culture and improve my English skills. I'm going to work as an English teacher from April 2024, and I'm gling to tell students what I learned from the experience of wwoofing in Australia. It would be greatful if you accept me as a wwoofer. Thank you.

Primary production farm breeding cell-grazed, grass fed and finished cattle, maintaining paddocks and grounds, growing fresh, organic produce. Also home to dogs, chickens and goats.

I am a traveler looking for meaningful ways to connect the nature and people of Australia. I desire to share my passion for nature with others through work exchange. I believe WWOOF aligns with my value of organic and sustainable farming.
