We join WWOOF because we would like to learn more about growing food,about nature,we would love to learn new different skills and of course meet new beautiful people

I would love to continue to build my skills in gardening, permaculture and natural building, and meet interesting people along the way. I have spent some time volunteering in Ladakh on natural farming projects, and in Australia doing some natural building, and would love to explore more volunteering options that involve herb, flower and market gardens. I am also very keen to learn about beekeeping and cheesemaking.

Yandoit Farm is a beautiful 140 acre organic natural farm in Central Victoria and is part of the thriving local communities of Castlemaine, Hepburn & Daylesford. We follow permaculture principles and best practice regenerative farming techniques. We embrace a natural life connected to the land as a path for fun, health and happiness. Our farm is a positive, supportive place where everyone feels hugged. So come and experience great community, learning, conscious & sustainable farm life and lots of fun.

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building, such as fencing. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Volunteering on our farm includes sheep & cattle stock work, farm chores, fencing, organic gardening, milking cows, tending sheep, chickens & turkeys, pruning trees and whatever else needs doing. At the moment we have some baby lambs and calves that need to be fed and taken care of. If you are interested in learning something new and getting to know what life on an Australian Farm is like, you are more than welcome to stay with us. We love to get to know different people from other countries and are happy to teach you new skills. We hope that you will have an unforgettable and unique experience with us on our rural farm in the Australian outback. We generally prefer longer stays.

We have had a plan to help farmers in some way for a couple of years. Now that we have the time without commitments we are able to give our time and knowledge to those in need. We are looking forward to meeting new people and making friendships. Seeing different country and ways of living. We are looking forward to travelling in our beloved 5th wheeler, and use our varied experience to help in any way we can. We love to try new things whether that is working with animals, cooking, growing stuff or new hobbies. We are excited about our new adventure.

We have a passion for travel and meeting people, and decided that we wanted to challenge ourselves in a way to push ourselves out of our comfort zones. When we came across the opportunities that WWOOF provided, it was a perfect fit! We loved the idea of slow travel while gaining insight into the life of the farming families across Australia at the same time. We are passionate about the environment and sustainable living and are eager to learn more about this lifestyle through the eyes of the people that work to put food on our tables. By joining WWOOF we hope to meet a diverse range of new people and become a part of their lifestyle while offering a helping hand wherever we can. Through our work and travel, we aim to learn a range of practical skills that we can apply to our everyday lives and into the future all while forming lasting relationships.

We think is the best way to get to know people from the area, learn about their growing practices and exchange experiences. We would love to meet people with similar interests in farming and to help each other.

To work in organic farms, learn heaps of new skills and meet the locals. In some woofing placements in NZ I really felt like I was part of the family.WWOOF is an amazing community.  I love the sociable aspects of woofing, and meeting people from very different background

I'm absolutely fascinated and devastated with everything I'm studying and want opportunities to learn within a community and develop my own connection to the earth. I really want to work with my body instead of my head.

170,000 acre family owned cattle station in North West Qld. About 3000 Brahman Droughtmaster cross cattle. We muster only on horse back using working dogs. Cattle are handled in a quiet and controlled manner.

It seems like a better way of working while travelling than the standard way of finding work, having that monetary relationship, worrying about where to live, trying to negotiate wages and all the other humdrum stuff. It sounds like the hosts are willing to share their knowledge, know how and experiences and be friendly at the same time. A very welcome change.

I joined WWOOF quite simply to  learn and experience as much as I can.  The idea of trying to live a little more sustainably has been something I've been interested in for many years, and now with a little more time available to me I am ready to dip my hands (and the rest of me) into the world of WWOOFing. I've always maintained a suburban vege patch, composted and recycled whatever I could and eaten as organically as possible. Reading about it doesn't work for me, I need to be hands on for things to really sink in. I so enjoy being and working in the outdoors and getting my hands dirty, Being productive makes me happy. I may not have any WWOOFer experience to bring yet but I bring a whole lot of life experience, a willingness to work hard and a total enjoyment of meeting new people.

We are a new and small family run dairy goat farm, milking 15 goats and handcrafting the milk into specialty cheeses that we sell at the farm gate and at local markets. Besides the goats we also have steers, dairy and meat sheep, chickens and are in the process of starting a vegetable garden. We love having visitors and sharing our farming skills. We are a multicultural family, with Moussa: born in Lebanon, Victoire: French and born in Germany; and both our children Joseph (5), Marie (2) born in Australia

I joined WWOOF because although working on a farm has been a dream of mine since high school, I have since spent seven years working in an office so I thinks it's about time I went and explored Australia and had a go at farm work. My experience is very minimal but I am very keen and would love to learn lots of new skills, I have some knowledge of gardening as that has interested me since childhood.

My work and studies shed an insight into why I want to start WWOOFing. I am passionate about sustainable resource management and agriculture but have spent most of my career at a desk.

I am itching to get outdoors and gain some practical skills and experience on the land. I grew up in the Hunter Valley and have fond memories of riding quad bikes, milking cows, and collecting eggs on friends' farms. I've had a bit of experience in tree planting, floral data collection and habitat assessments through my degree.

We have already spent two years in Australia, mostly in Victoria. We enjoy meeting people, discovering the country and learn a lot of things. Nature lovers, we really enjoy walking and hiking or just being outside, taking care of animals, gardening and doing DIY. We spent one year in New Zealand six years ago and we did a lot of Wwoofing. We loved it ! Now our goal is to get a work visa in NZ and if we can to stay there for a while. Right now we would be happy to do some wwoofing in the South-East. Then we would like to find a job around Brisbane for a few months. Looking forward to meeting you.

A 500 acre farm surrounded by forest, nestled in the Hunter Valley. We care for 70 cows and bulls and have our own orchard and veggie gardens. We are not a commercial farm, we are focused on sustainable living and allowing all our animals to live a full life.

In our enthusiasm for organic vegie gardening, we have outgrown our suburban lot and are currently travelling around Queensland in our motorhome looking for a small hobby farm to develop with room for our vegie gardens, a mixed tropical orchard, keep mixed poultry and some aquaponics. So we want to expand our knowledge and experience by learning from people already achieving that dream.
