A friend of mine told me about her experience with wwoof in Canada this year. I fell totally in love with the idea me joining wwoof as well and make same new experiences at the other end of the world.

Because I’m looking for a volunteer job to extent my working holiday visa. I want to do something good for the world. I think WWOOF has a lot of opportunities for work.

Because I want to learn farming, gardening, and anything related to those through the volunteer. Also, I love the concept of WWOOF, and as a student I just wanted to try before i get too busy working.

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 gain hands-on experience in sustainable farming while connecting with like-minded people. I’ve always been passionate about working with the earth and caring for animals, and I believe WWOOFing will give me the opportunity to learn sustainable farming practices while connecting with the natural world. I hope to gain hands-on experience, contribute to eco-friendly practices, and deepen my understanding of how we can live in harmony with nature. Through this journey, I aim to grow both personally and environmentally, to broaden my understanding of sustainable living, embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle and explore diverse cultures while making a positive impact on the environment.

OUR PROPERTY: We have an 3 hectare vineyard as well as a large mixed fruit orchard (fresh fruit all year round!) and vegetable garden, an alpacha, several dozen Wiltshire sheep plus two small friendly dogs who love meeting new house guests. The whole property is organic and we originally planted the gardens using permaculture principles. We are also proponents of Regenerative Farming and have recently been listed on Sustainable Table. SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: We are about a 10 minute drive from the regional town of Albany, which is a gateway to many adventures and natural attractions, including beautiful bays and beaches. We are happy to help you out with guidance and advice about tours and and hikes. Having your own car is ideal if you wish to see more than just the town, but not essential. VOLUNTEERING: If you are fit, healthy, willing and happy travellers we invite you to help us with our small family-run, organic vineyard near Albany on the Amazing South Coast of Western Australia. Albany is 400km from Perth (only 1 hour via plane) and is a beautiful, historic, seaside town. We have hosted many such travellers previous under WWOOF and also a similar scheme and we thoroughly enjoy the cultural exchange that occurs, as well as being very grateful for the help we receive.  

Beef cattle farm on the Mornington Peninsula. We care about our animals, we run a cell grazing operation that provides alot of contact with the herd. We are 3 minutes from the beach.

I want to work jobs that matter and be around authentic people in an authentic atmosphere. My hope is to learn new things, help out the hosts and get a glimpse of the daily life on an Australian farm. I have a little experience in farm work and animal care and I really enjoyed it. Getting to know interesting people and making good memories is another point why I signed up for WWOOF.

I WWOOFed on a cranberry farm in Oregon, USA early in my undergraduate career. I was an environmental science major at the time and was studying global food systems through the lens of sustainability. While I have since pivoted to medicine as I fell in love with biology and the idea of working with patients, I still have a deep appreciation for food as a way to bring people together and the act of cultivation.

We want to take advantage of this rare time in our lives when we are in a new country and are free of any professional and/or academic obligations. WWOOF seems like a perfect opportunity to learn useful skills and meet new people. It will surely be a memorable experience for us to share together.

I've already had the opportunity to spend six months WWOOFing in Ireland, which was an extremely enriching experience. I discovered working outdoors, interacting with animals, and the satisfaction of helping maintain a property while sharing the daily lives of the hosts. It gave me a taste for volunteering and the desire to repeat this adventure in a different setting.

We are gradually restoring a neglected farm, a beautiful 180 acres bordering NP and close to beaches. Low-tech hard work & BD preparations are slowly producing results on our pastures. Our animals are part of the family - Josephine the milking cow, a small beef herd, chooks, ducks & sometimes pigs. Our vegie garden is established, the orchard in the making. Most of our food is produced on the farm, but fishing trips supplement our diet, which is meaty, tasty & healthy. Volunteering includes work in pastures, weeding, raking, fencing, help in vegie garden & orchard, feeding animals and building projects. Own transport preferable to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding area. Caravan accommodation for a single or a couple. No children. Meat-based meals. Non-smokers only. Negotiable stays after first few days. Cannot take WWOOFers during winter.

I joined WWOOF because it is a very flexible and cheap way to travel or live on a short term. I moved back to Romania from Australia in 2017 because of my mother healthy issues. This year I am planning to return to Australia because I have already put in place a proper arrangement for somebody to look after my mother. Being an adult person I am considering this return to Australia like a new start in life. Also I need a transition period of time (like a buffer) before joining again the workforce. A good way of taking the stress away from me is to use my hands and brain. If I can be involved in simple activities like wwoof-ing jobs and keep socialising with other people that will a great benefit. In the mean time I can activate my old friends network in a proper way for making a better decisions regarding my future career steps.

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 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.

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’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!
