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

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

We are a small family Dairy Goat farm located in the rolling hills of St. Andrews Victoria. Our property is located in a beautiful area with rolling hills and bushland. With stunning views and birds and wildlife surrounding.  We use our farm as self sufficiency for our family too, growing and making our own food.  We milk our goats each day - we have a herd of around 60-70 dairy goats. We use the milk to make our own cheese, yogurt, icecream etc but we mainly use the milk to turn into Organic Goat Milk Soap and Skincare/Bodycare products which we sell. We are passionate about organic, sustainable and ethical farming, through ways such as regenerative agriculture, pasture rotation etc. We eat organically as a family and feed our animals a natural, high mineral organic diet too. We have 60-70 dairy goats, 3 cows, 2 horses, 30 chooks, 3 ferrets, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 6 sheep. Jobs around our farm include but not limited to milking the goats, feeding the animals, beekeeping, mechanics, gardening, composting (we make our own soil), landscaping, building, bread making, preserving, making soap, moisturisers and oter products, packaging orders, cooking meals from scratch with organic produce from our farm or other local producers, etc.  

Our Hidden Valley property is a unique wildlife and natural bushland conservation sanctuary, set in a secluded valley of beautiful tall karri forest and only 5 km west of Denmark WA town centre.  We are a community of 10 households nestled in a peaceful landscape of tall karri forest and open paddock, with rich variety of birdlife and kangaroos and nature walks. Wake up to the sounds of birds and frogs in the valley, and breathe in the clean air of forest and sea. We grow our own organic veggies, fruit, hops and enjoy a balance of work, hobby farming and play.  We are close (15 minutes drive) to the stunning south coast beaches and Greens Pool, with nature walks on our property. We offer accommodation for a single or couple in a WWOOFers private caravan which is separate from the house and is under cover, dry, clean and cosy. No children or pets, and strictly non-smoking.

The reason I joined WWOOF is that we want to create a family in Australia first.I want to have a family-like relationship with my host family by helping with agriculture and living together.And I want to make my host family's place like a second house where I can go back anytime.Secondly, I want to spend time in a place rich in nature.I go to school by bus with many people every day and live a time-bound life, so I want to have a relaxing time with abundant nature.Third, I want to know the attractions of Australia that real Australians recommend.It's my first time going to Australia, and I can only gather information about Australian food and tourist attractions online.I would like you to tell me the recommended food and sightseeing spots from a local host family's point of view.I want to actually eat and go somewhere.If I'm going all the way to Australia, I want to have a different experience.I wanted to experience not only sightseeing but also the real life of Australians.

I aim to improve my English skills during my university life. For this purpose, I thought it would be effective to go abroad and interact with the local people. In addition to that, I am good at working in agriculture. I have been helping my grandmother work the fields since I was a little girl. I also love nature and interacting with animals, so I will do my best in my work.

I join WWOOF to get more experience in difference areas. I live traveling and explore the world so for me this the perfect opportunity to meet and to know people and different cultures and lifestyle

I want to complete my 88 days of specified work doing volunteer work. I like the philosophy of WWOOF around exchanging knowledge, fostering sustainability, and helping people. I am eager to complete the requirements of my visa while also giving a helping hand to the community and learning more about Australia and Australian agriculture

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.

I joined Wwoof to hoppefully find a host who can accommodate my lifstyle. I've got into Fifo to try and make my dream become a reality. It definitely has the potential to, but I'm starting to really miss having a place to ground myself with working the land, being around animals, and with indivduals that share a certain perspective. I enjoy working hard for an honest, appreciative family. And at the end of it all being able to share and celebrate in the small but beautiful day to day parts of life.

I’m eager to contribute my energy and gain knowledge/experience about any kind of topic. I would love to meet likeminded people and create memorable moments.

During my 1-year stay in Australia I want to volunteer through WWOOF to truly immerse myself in Australian culture and connect with locals, rather than just staying in hostels in the cities. I’m excited to explore Australia’s nature and farm life while enhancing my farming and craft skills.
