Something of a fairly unique small acreage (about 3) as it is in suburbia some 17 klms from the Sydney CBD. We have residential homes on two sides, a couple of similar acreages on one side and bushland on the other. We have many native animals on the property, including Wallabies, Cockatoos, various reptiles and numerous other bird species. We also have two Horses - one of which is an outstanding riding Horse (Australian Stock Horse) and can be ridden by WWOOFers who demonstrate competence. Our Horses also supply considerable levels of natural fertiliser which can be used as appropriate. We aspire to being truly Biodynamic. We look across bushland and ridges to the ocean and are situated about 15 minutes drive from the surfing beaches of Sydney's Northern Beaches. We have a bus stop almost at our front gate and a club, pub, shops and restaurants 500 metres away. We have in the past grown a variety of fruit and vegetables but currently only growing some Aloe Vera for personal use and a few mature olive trees. I would like to regenerate the property and renew the vegetable garden in the interests of good health as I live a supplement free life where I get all my nutrition through food only sources and I am endeavouring to have my Children adopt the same lifestyle. We have a large modern home - the WWOOFer who stays with us will have their own large comfortable bedroom and ensuite bathroom.

I feel that WWOOFing may be the ideal way for a solo woman to travel and be able to connect to the land and community. Being able to learn new skills and offer my services suits my character, I like to feel I have a purpose and I like to be busy. I am excited to learn what it's really like to be living off the land first hand.

During our year of exploration, we hope to have many adventures and meet a variety of likeminded people along the way. We plan to volunteer and work through the WOOFING community, where we can learn new skills and be a part of a community instead of just passing through. We are excited!

I enjoy the community and value the experience of the locals and their knowledge. I appreciate the diverse opportunities and the Australian landscape. I like to work.

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.

Pucker Farm Animal Sanctuary is 5min from town, with great vistas extending out to Kondinin Salt Lake, and 30min from Wave Rock. The Sanctuary has a variety of animals including sheep, a goat, chickens, ducks, horses, donkeys, a pig, maremma guardian dogs, a cat & dexter cows (60 creatures in total). Your farm experience here will be more aligned with the pioneering days than with the high-tech world of farming today. Volunteering will include a variety of tasks such as feeding animals, mucking out, pruning trees, mowing, raking & fencing. You will be treated well, eating healthy vegetarian meals, & I'll make sure your stay is comfortable & enjoyable. Accommodation for 10 within my home, caravan, tent, or BYO. Shared meals, vegetarian only. Children b.a. No smoking near house. Length of stay neg after first few days. The bus runs a few times a week from Perth/Esperance.  I work at the Wildlife Park in Hyden one day a week and if everyone is in agreement WWOOFers could come there for the day to volunteer.

WWOOFing will allow me to support and integrate with those who are doing it and those who need support. I wish to make a contribution to sustainable living practices.

The past two years of living with Covid-19 has been taxing! As someone living in an urban city, life has pretty much been contained to the four walls at home. Am keen to be out and about in the sun, with the travel restrictions gradually easing worldwide.

After 4 years of studying am very eager to get out of the city and away from theoretical concepts and into the natural world with real people working hard to solve issues around food production. I cannot wait to have my hands in the soil rather than typing away on a laptop all day. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain an understanding of the real life practise of organic farming. Given I grew up in Victoria, I am not so much interested in a cultural exchange or spending time doing 'touristy' things but rather working and learning from growers and farmers. I do hope to one day own my own land and have my own kitchen garden and so (rather selfishly) also hope to learn a few tricks of the trade for my own food production. I currently have leafy greens growing out of planter boxes in my tiny garden out the front of my unit in the city and it ain't cutting it!

I'm joining WWOOF to hopefully get some experience on what farm life is like, learn new skills and hopefully make it more common in my life as there must be more to life than what I'm currently doing now. Also meeting like minded people is very appealing. Working for board and lodging is very appealing and makes seeing more of my country a reality. Speak to hosts and work out the social side of stuff required as well as possibly becoming a host!

Mount Murray Farm is 790m up on the edge of the Illawarra Escarpment on 25 acres of rich volcanic soil. We host workshops and are currently developing our permaculture plan. The farm has Chickens, Sheep and Alpacas and is home to four dogs and three indoors only cats. The wildlife here is exceptionally diverse, including wallabies, wombats, and abundant bird life. We need help with the gardens, helping with the livestock and implementation of the permaculture design. We are not far from the coast, 6klms to the town of Robertson and one hour and forty mins from Sydney.

5 acres of fertile river flats surrounded on 3 sides by forest. Two minutes out of the small town of Creswick. We are small scale Organic farmers growing Garlic, Broad beans, Snow peas and Cucumbers.

1.5Ha Hobby Farmlet based on Permaculture, Natural Gardening, Garden Farming & Regenerative Practices. We are also registered with Miniature Goats Breeding Association (MGBA) and are in our second year of breeding. We are passionate advocates for resilient living.

We have been looking to move out of the city for some time and are keen to learn more about permaculture, organic gardening. We love the idea of contributing to a property and community and meeting new people.

HinterCloud - 4 bedroom home set on 4000sqm of lush forest and gardens in Hinterland Sunshine Coast, just 20 mins from the beach and 10 mins to the urban centre. We are situated just behind Nambour on the hill and the property slopes down to a dam. We have a functioning chicken coop with three good layers, a massive potting house, several verandahs, BBQ's and an almost 360 lookout to Montville. We are dog mad and your pet is welcome as long as they get on with others.

I like all farm work as it is outdoors. I like gardening and walking in the bush. I have two dogs and a cat and really like to meet people

To find some short term work, meet people and gain new experiences. I'm always eager to learn new things and gain new perspectives. I’m hoping to get some short term work on an organic property, I’m vegan and I am all about supporting a healthy life style and I believe organic farming is crucial for the health and future of this beautiful planet we call home.

To share knowledge about sustainable living especially organic food production. I am passionate about growing my own food and helping others do the same. WWOOF provides an opportunity to meet new folks and to share information.

I have some friends who have done WWOOFing who have told me it was the best thing they ever did. I've been desperate to get out of the city for so long, unsure of where to go or what to do or if I'm sure it's "what I want" etc, I've been hesitant to make the move. But I'm so ready to make that shift now, and I just want to learn and gain more experience in farming as that's where my passions lie. I would really love to learn more about sustainable agriculture/permaculture practices as I'd love to one day have a farm of my own on some property, so I'm open to any and all experiences! Currently I am unemployed and have been for some time, my work experience is as a cook in various cafes, but the food wastage in the hospitality industry was doing my head in and not aligning with my ethics so I quit for a time. The last place I worked at was great - it had it's own garden out the back and tried to grow as much produce as it could, with composting and worm farms, which I really loved (but sadly they closed). Ever since then I've been wanting to learn more about food production and how to incorporate it into every-day living in a sustainable way.

I wanted to see Australia and work with Aussie farmers as I enjoy the outdoor work and rural living, I hope to build a new skill set and learn more about rural living, agriculture and permaculture. I want to live a well-balanced life in work and play. Wwoofing seems like a great avenue to take to get enjoyment from life as well as being able to explore new natural environments.
