I’m planning a two-month trip to Australia 🇦🇺, and I’m considering WWOOFing as an option! It’s a fantastic way to fully immerse myself in a new culture 🌏 by helping others 🤝, traveling affordably 💰, and, of course, discovering new organic and sustainable practices 🌱✨.

One reason is to experience rural Australia and engage with locals in a deeper way than just in an employer-employee relationship. While I love farm work and always try to do neat work, I consider myself more human-oriented than task-oriented. Meaningful and warm connections are important to me, and I am searching for hosts who share that mindset. Another reason is to learn more about sustainable ways of farming. As environmental crises keep getting worse, we will have to be creative in the ways we feed ourselfves and design landscapes. I'm always happy to engage with people who are trying out new ideas and eager to learn from them.

I would like to gain hands-on experience in working on and maintaining a farm, and learn from others passionate about organic farming and permaculture. I am also excited to take a break from a more fast-paced, indoor, city lifestyle. I am looking forward to doing meaningful work, and helping and meeting like minded people.

800 hectares combined including 150 acres irrigation. Very picturesque area, 30 kms from Monto, close to Cania Gorge NP with many beautiful bushwalking tracks, wildlife & native flora.

Volunteering includes all year round General Farm Maintenance, irrigating crops & hay production, gardening, handling livestock. Accommodation for 1-4 with chicken/meat meals. No children. No drugs.

I joined WWOOF because I am ready to experience new adventures away from home. WWOOF allows me to get to know the culture and the way of life of the people in Australia. My boyfriend lives on a farm with 40 cows and several thousand chickens. Sometimes I help out in the barn. I really enjoy working with the animals and doing other work on the farm. When I was a child, my grandfather had a small farm with sheep, horses, rabbits, cats and goats. Even back then, I used to go there once a week and spend time with the animals. That's why I can imagine working on a farm, but also in private households. I hope that I can get to know the local people better through WWOOF. I am very interested in the culture and way of life in other countries. I would therefore be particularly pleased to be able to experience their everyday life with my host. In my opinion, participating in WWOOF is a very good way to travel Australia, work there and create many valuable memories. I am looking forward to being a part of it very soon.

I join WWOOF to explore Australia , i want to discover landscape, people, the way of living. I'm very hyped and I'm ready to work in Australia with wwoof

When my mother visited Japan as I was studying PhD there, she was impressed by the advanced agriculture with flourished rice harvests, premium fruits like shine muscat, and high-quality meats and seafoods. Given the fact that the agriculture in Vietnam has been ovelooked and neglected for decades because of the industrialization trend in manufacturing across the country, we feel concerned that it is not straightforward to get the sector back on track. Furthermore, when returning to Vietnam after my PhD, it is a big surprise to me that many agri-food imported from Australia is available in the market such as grapes, oranges, milk, etc., which would have been unrealistic before the pandemic. Additionally, as working in a rural hospital, I usually encounter many patients who work as farmers in a traditional way. As a result, their chief complaints are usually neck pain, back pain, and hand/knee pain as symptoms of spondylosis and osteoarthritis. While traveling with my mother will be a joyful and adventurous trip for us, I also want to explore more not only the advancement in healthcare but also the beauty of nature and the development of the agriculture in Australia. I hope those valuable experiences will bring me an innovative insight into the way of taking care of people and environment around us.

I joined WWOOF to complete my 88 days while also learning new skills, connecting with nature, and experiencing a different way of life. I’m excited to meet new people, contribute where I can, and make the most of this opportunity.

We’re a certified-organic farm in the process of full accreditation, located in Far North Queensland. Our farm started with a thriving microgreens business and is now expanding into a wide variety of seasonal inground crops. This is a vegetarian, non-smoking, and alcohol-free farm, focused on healthy living, community, and soil regeneration. We grow everything by hand—no tractors—using a mix of traditional techniques and the latest small-scale farming tools. We’re passionate about producing nutrient-dense, organic food for our local community and are always excited to share our knowledge and experience with others. If you're interested in real, hands-on growing and want to learn how to work with the soil rather than against it, we’d love to host you.

I left Sydney to get away from the city; I arrived into Byron and started applying for work; Had an interview for a housekeeping job at a hostel; Realised I really didn't want to do that and just wished to be out in the Bush, living the simple life, enjoying what Australia truly has to offer. WWOOF! Lightbulb moment. It is amazing to see so many hosts and I'd love to help out over winter.

We joined WWOOF to further our experience in Organic farming while meeting like minded people and making meaningful connections. We are keen to exchange ideas, knowledge and experiences with people and volunteer our time in exchange. As we are full time traveling Australia, WWOOF is a great avenue to veer off the beaten track and experience farms all over Australia while keeping travel costs down.

Avec mon partenaire, nous voyageons en Australie pendant un an grâce à un PVT. Nous souhaitons prendre le temps de découvrir le pays autrement, aider les habitants et vivre des expériences concrètes et concrètes au plus près de la nature et des animaux. Le WWOOF est le moyen idéal pour cela !

I joined this site because I realized that this was the easiest way to get in touch with farms. I hope that thanks to WWOOF I'll be able to find a farm where I can learn how it works and become an integral part of it. I grew up in a house with a big garden. My mother, a gardener, always made sure we had beautiful vegetables, and I was always happy to help her. Today, I'm keen to learn what it's like to work on a farm, and to have the opportunity to discover practices that I'm not familiar with in agro-ecology. I can't wait to find a place to help on the farm.

I joined WWOOF because I need to complete my last three months of regional work to qualify for the third year of working holiday visa (subclass 417). I've already done half of my days at a nursery farm, so I know what to expect and am ready to dive back into the experience.

I have a small farm in WA's SouthWest which has established fruit trees, cows, chickens and 2 homes plus a granny flat - so accomodation is flexible. We are on rain water, so use it wisely and use river water for the toilets - so they dont sparkle like most lavatories. There is plenty of places for growing more veg but I have gotten behind in the maintenance of the raised beds. So I would like help here and infinishing some small amount of landscaping. It is beautiful and quiet with a large variety of birds on the property. There is also a strong focus on health and fitness to balance the workload.

I joined WWOF because i want to experince diffrent cultures and meeting diffrent people all around the world. Ive previously been volunteering in thailand for 5 weeks and really enjoyed my stay!

As s student I joined so I could travel, practise languages and learn about organic farming. It's still my intention 20 years later now 🙂 During German winter I work mostly in late/night shifts in a night shelter for homeless people in Berlin. It's a demanding job and I never get to see the daylight. As soon as it's spring and my contract ends I try to spend as much as time outside.

I have joined to experience more of Australia and to get off the tourist tracks. I have travelled down the East Coast where I loved seeing the wildlife, beaches and towns however, I really would also love to experience more rural Australian life. Having grown up growing fruit and vegetables in the kitchen garden; making soups and stews to use all the vegetables (and stay warm in the Scottish winters) I am passionate about sustainability, the importance of buying local to support small farming and want to learn more about sustainable farming practices.

One of my uncle's had their farm on WWOOF when I was younger and I was there when he had different people from across the world helping him. Now that I'm older, from my perspective, I believe in creating constructive beneficial change. Organic farming is one way of contributing to the community in a helpful and healthy way that I can take part in thanks to WWOOF.
