Just needing some time in the bush to recalibrate and organic farming is a huge passion of mine that I would like to invest my energy in the future. This is ground 0

Wwoofing is the best option to combine learning so much as possible about farming in different countries with different plant cultures and seeing the world. I do Wwoofing since July in different countries in Europe and after Christmas I want to see the other side of the world.   My Instagram: annalenahargens

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 decided to join WWOOF because I was already using Workaway during my travels, but after spending some time in Australia I realized that WWOOF offers many more opportunities, especially for those who want to experience life on farms and connect with nature and local communities. I love the idea behind WWOOF — the exchange of help for knowledge, stories, and real human connection. I think it’s a great way to learn new skills, discover the country from a different perspective, and meet people who live in a more grounded and sustainable way. I'm not just looking for a place to stay, but for meaningful experiences that help me grow, challenge myself, and give something back. Working with my hands, learning from others, and living close to the land are things I deeply value. That’s why I joined WWOOF — to be part of something real, helpful, and human.

I joined because I want to break away from the modern cycle of stress. I’m seeking a lifestyle that’s real — grounded in soil, simplicity, and meaningful work. I’m not just looking for a place to stay. I’m looking for connection: to the land, to good people, and to skills that matter. I want to contribute to something worthwhile, learn how to grow and live more sustainably, and reset my mind and body in nature.

I’m drawn to WWOOF as a chance to reconnect with nature and learn about sustainable farming practices. I’m eager to immerse myself in the rhythms of rural life, trading the hustle & bustle of daily life for the tranquility of the countryside. Through WWOOF, I hope to gain hands-on experience in farming and permaculture. I’m excited to contribute to host farms, learn from experienced farmers, and be part of a community that shares my values. I am excited about learning new skills and meeting new friends. It would be doing something that’s out of my comfort zone but I believe it’s worth it!

In April 2019, I met up with my Brazilian friends in New Zealand for a one-month trip, but Ｉdidn’t have the chance to go to Australia, which is very close. The reason for coming to Australia this time is that my Japanese friend, whom I have been friends with for more than 30 years, wanted to come to Australia to experience volunteering on a farm. It inspired me to visit Australia through the opportunity of volunteering and traveling. I have provided unpaid volunteer service in Taiwan for more than thirty years. Served as a volunteer guide for visiting the Presidential Palace and a library management volunteer. Now I have been working as a volunteer in a Buddhist group.

For me, WWOOFing is an incredible opportunity to truly immerse myself in Australian life. I see it as a way to feel useful to the local community, contribute positively, and learn from those who live here. By working alongside locals, I hope to better understand the culture, traditions, and daily life in Australia. Additionally, having guidance for my first steps here will be invaluable. It’s important to me to start my journey in a supportive environment where I can feel connected and have a meaningful exchange with people from different backgrounds. I’m eager to be involved in various tasks and responsibilities and am ready to put in the effort to make a real contribution. WWOOFing represents not only a chance to learn practical skills but also an experience that will help me grow personally. I look forward to this unique opportunity to make connections and friendships as I discover the beauty of Australia.

We have a hobby farm with variety of animals. We also have gardens we try grow some vegetables and fruit if we can get before the animals do. We are only 10 mins drive from the beach and small-town shops. The local small town has access to buses usually hourly throughout business hours and up to 2 -3 hourly on weekends. Bus services do not run on evenings.

We are looking to gain experience in aspects of farming and general labour to be able to take them forward to possible employment opportunities in the future, so we would relish the chance to get stuck into any task or project that is asked of us to further our knowledge and skill sets whilst also drawing on past experiences to figure things out on the go. I (Iris) have volunteered on an organic farm in Italy, helping to cultivate fruits, vegetables and taking care of the various animals on the farm, which I found to be incredibly rewarding. I have also visited a biodynamic farm in the uk and found the processes used to be fascinating and have always wanted to learn more about how to make food cultivation and animal rearing more sustainable and consequently be able to use that knowledge in everyday life to make more informed choices about the food we buy and eat. I (Malaschy) am looking to get some good experience working outdoors and working with new tools. In the future, i'm interested in trying out tree surgery (arborist) and other general labour jobs so would love to get stuck in and learn more if i got the opportunity.

We joined WWOOF Australia mainly to get Alma’s 88 days in, but also to see something else then the busy streets of Sydney, learn new things, and make friends along the way!  

I joined WWOOF to connect to hosts and fellow travellers, immerse myself in different cultures, and experience everyday life in a hands-on, meaningful way. I look forward to meeting people from around the world, building genuine friendships, and gaining a deeper understanding of their culture and lifestyle. I am excited to contribute, learn new skills, and grow through shared experiences.

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a great way to get to know local people, experience Australian life/culture and learn something about organic growing.

My friend who is also doing exchange program in Adelaide told me about WWOOF and I feel like I really want to try farm stay. I'm actually interested in agriculture and I was doing volunteer in farm when I was in high school in Japan. Since I came here, I've realized that Australian agriculture is so different from Japanese agriculture and now I want to know what the exact difference is, and I want to feel, learn and experience Australian agriculture.

I joined WWOOF because I was looking for a short-term (volunteer)job in Australia. I have met so many people during my travel that were VERY enthusiastic about Australia so it got me really curious. I would love to learn more about farm work and gardening and to really be part of the Australian life.

A peaceful and relaxing 1ha property in the Gold Coast hinterland, close to everything but a different world away! Volunteering is pleasantly varied and we welcome WWOOFers who are motivated, well-presented and have some idea of what we would like to achieve, which is a reasonable standard of sustainable living and self-sufficiency. Tasks include gardening, building new Fencing for Alpacas, some weeding, more building, etc. Plenty of time to relax by the pool and go bush walking. Accommodation: so we built a complete WWOOFer's cabin. Full kitchen and food provided . Mixed diet. No children. No smoking inside. Prefer stays of 2-4 weeks, negotiable after initial visit. We have a lot of work and learning to do. Feel up to the challenge?

I joined WWOOF because I enjoy working outdoors and want to learn more about organic farming. I hope to gain practical skills, meet new people, and experience more farm life in Australia. I’m especially interested in animal care and would love to help while exploring Australia 🙂
