I would like to obtain a wine expert certification this year, so I want to study wine. Since I have over a month before I begin my new job, I’m interested in doing a farm stay to experience a different lifestyle, meet new people, and learn something new.

I would like to gain new experience at WWOOF and do some meaningful work for my accommodation. I look forward to meeting new people and developing myself further.

I recently purchased a small home in rural Japan and I am looking to acquire the skills necessary in order to live off the grid, free from the constraints of capitalism. I aim to learn homesteading techniques through hands on experience, taught by the people who know best: the ones who are living out my dream! I am mainly interested in permaculture, alternative energy, the repurposing of discarded items, and seeing other degrowth techniques in action.

I heard about Wwoofing very recently. And my first reaction was “But no! It exists? Why didn't I know about it?" I want to do Wwoofing to have the opportunity to experiment with agriculture, on a larger scale than the 12 square meters of my garden. To meet new people, a new culture, another way of life.

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 join Wwoof to do Wwoofing in Australia

Located in a beautiful secluded valley within the mountains in Upper Orara, 13 kms from Coffs Harbour- a 100 acre paradise with a stunning 6 bedroom, 2 storey owner-built (me) mud-brick home including an adjoining 2 bedroom flat. A new B & B separate building under construction, only one bedroom ready now. A creek & dam stocked with Silver Perch fish, 11 cattle, 1 Quarter Horse. 4 miniature pigs (3 pregnant), 16 chickens, lots of baby chicks.More cattle coming. The farm has been organic for 37 years and has much potential for growing organic fruit & vegetables with an established garden. Volunteering includes tending animals, gardening, weeding, working with horse (for experienced riders only), fencing, planting out trees, establishing garden beds, maintaining salt water pool, tractor work (only for experienced and licensed). Good manners, good attitude to the philosophy of WWOOFing is essential. (Which basically means we help each other and learn better ways to live on this planet.) Experienced in farm work would be helpful. Any carpenters, plumbers or mechanics are very welcome. I have been told many times that I am the best WWOOFer cook/chef hostess, I like to spoil my WWOOFers with nutritious and very yummy food. Organic beef grown here on the farm and fish caught from the dam on the farm or in the sea. (Fun fishing lessons on the beach.) The best pure unlimited spring water to drink, bathe in and water the gardens. 15 mins to beautiful beaches for fishing, swimming, whale watching etc

Why I’m interested in agriculture is my older sister having her own organic farm, I want to help her in the future. But unfortunately I have no idea about agriculture.

We own 115,000 acres and have feral goats. We have Dunlop Range running through our place with many nice areas to go on nature walks. A real outback experience is to be had with kilometres of native bushes and it is approx. 40km from the front of our property to the back. We have a large amount of earthmoving equipment - D10 dozer, 2 16H graders and numerous other peices of earthmoving equipment. Side by sides, quads and motorbikes.

Because I wanted to join Mandala in Magnetic island. I met Kaylene and Tony, and I love them! I love joining a community. They helped me to grow and heal

To link with people that like to share skills and meet travelers. I want to learn about farming skills and discover new people and WWOOF give the opportunity to link people super efficiently. Hence, I wanted to try this experience. % %

We would like to join woofing because we think it's a great way to discover a country's culture and to really meet people by living with them for a time. It's also a good way to really practice our english. And we love the idea of the exchange, helping someone in his farm and having food an accommodation

We joined WWOOF to meet new people and learning new lifestyles. We are very curious people and we're truly passionate about traveling. We have a lot of energy to help you in your tasks. We also hope buildings connections and open up opportunities ! We've got crazy dreams and we're so invested in making them come true. In one hand, we love the concept of woofing, give a hand in return for a place to stay. Marco's sister recommended us woofing because she loved the experience and after sharing her story with us, we got even more motivated !

To connect, explore, grow and live. I want to see more of the world and grow more skillsets that are genuinely and profoundly valuable, sharing my own knowledge and creating collaborative, creative communities within-communities.

This year is an opportunity for me to explore, and in doing so, grow and learn about the world around me. To this degree, I am looking to branch out, to try novel things, visit new places, and meet new people. To me, this comes in the form of WWOOF. WWOOF offers these opportunities to me, allowing me to dive into new aspects of life, things that I would never normally have the chance to do, all the while immersing myself in new cultures and making new friends. This, in combination of the sustainability practices I will attempt to incorporate into my own life, makes local farming a brilliant adventure to embark during my gap year.

I'm from Tokyo. I grew up in big city. So I've never exprienced staying farm or gardening. I'd love to exprience new things while I'm young. Also I'd like to improve my English skill and exprience culture of Australia.

I’m in Australia to immerse myself in new environments, meet inspiring people, and learn more about organic and sustainable practices. I’m hands-on, quick to learn, and open to all kinds of tasks, whether it’s planting, harvesting, maintenance, or working with animals. I was fortunate enough to work 2 months on a dairy farm in New Zealand over 9 years ago and would love the opportunity to spend time on a farm again! Finally, I'm keen to learn new skills and connect with new faces !
