I joined Wwoof in order to discover more organic farming systems before creating my own farm.

I want to visit the owner's farm and learn how to take care of it with permaculture skills. I love to communicate with people who love plants and trees. I come from Taiwan and many friends of mine told me about WWOOF. I want to try this way for traveling in Australia.

I deeply resonate with a book called Ringing Cedar - Anastasia. It talks about the relationship between human and nature and encourages that everyone should build a one-hectare self-sustained family homestead. It becomes my ultimate goal and I am going to realize it step by step. I studied a basic course about organic farming. Now I would like to learn and practice farming skills and meet some beautiful people in this network.

I'd like to join WWOOF to learn about organic ecology life style. Also I hope I could experience a life in other places where I can feel nature in daily basis. When I was in high school, I stayed with a Malay Family in Malaysia for a year. It wasn't always easy and happy to stay in other people with other culture, but it turned to be an amazing experience for my life after all. I am expecting something similar for WWOOF.

I have a 5 hectare property near the Murray river 2 hours north of Adelaide in South Australia. I grow many different type of fruits including peaches, plums, apricots, oranges, avocado, lemon, lime and mandarin. This is a very productive farm and you will have the oppurtunity to learn much about running a successful organic farm. Check out Farmer Hayden on insta.

Because I think that's a way to know more local people, experience different cultures, also I wanna to hear people's story and their vision about this world, share their experience, share my experience, especially experience different lifestyle, and use my camera building the story.

The life in Hong Kong is always busy and fast, it is necessary for me to slow down and to try out a different lifestyle. As I love the culture, food and nature in Australia so much after visiting last year, I think WWOOFing in Australia will definitely be a great opportunity for me to explore more about the Australian life, to learn new skills and to meet different people!

I always want to do exchanges before I set foot in Australia. Now it’s the chance as I was invited and recommended to join the WWOOF so that I could start my volunteering work in bushfires affected area and also get my 88 da done for renewing my working holiday visa. WWOOF is a large big com where people can share information and help each other in a easier and safer way. More importantly, I want to experience and discover cultures with local people.

We are an organic olive farm in Taggerty VIC, with 100 acres of land, of which 60 acres are olive grove. We are approximately 120km North East of Melbourne. We are a small family of three, we love organic food, the farming life style, travelling and learning international cultures. We would love some help from travellers who are also passionate about organic farming, particularly in horticulture, gardening, and don't mind a bit of physical work. Some ability to operate machinery would be handy. We have a small farm house in the property and a caravan for accommodation.

Nine Planets lies at the end of the Chapman River Sanctuary adjacent Lashmar's Lagoon Sanctuary and about 600 meters from Antechamber Bay, one of the largest, most pristine and undisturbed beaches on Kangaroo Island's coast. The Chapman River teams with bream and the beach is a sanctuary for endangered hooded plovers which nest in the sand just above the high water line in late spring. Garfish, tommies, flathead and mullet can be caught from the beach if you are adept at shore fishing. Lashmar's Lagoon is a sanctuary for waterbirds and teems with black swans, ducks, pelicans, sacred ibis and other birds. In winter and spring black swans grazing in pasture adjacent the lagoon outnumber farmers' sheep. Kangaroos, wallabies and goannas usually visit daily and dozens of bird species including magpies, currawongs, superb fairywrens, honeyeaters, thornbills, red browed finches and silver eyes call in for a drink and/or bath, whilst wedge tailed eagles and the very rare white bellied sea eagle may be seen soaring overhead. At night the calls of boobook owls can be heard in the distance. It is often windy, but rarely very hot or very cold.

SIBA is a beautiful Buddhist retreat centre nestled in the Snowy River Country of East Gippsland, halfway between Melbourne and Canberra. Here we host various retreats throughout the year, including meditation - both Buddhist and secular - yoga, tai chi, health and wellness, and family week. We need WWOOFers help with maintaining and reinvigorating our spectacular 108 acres of land, which includes vegetable and ornamental gardens and a large orchard. People with skills in gardening, landscaping, outdoor maintenance or any farming or forestry background would be very warmly welcomed.

Looking to spread my wings and leaving my long-term home on the Sunshine Coast to new horizons. Looking to connect into community, self-sufficiency, organic food production etc. I’d love to meet new people, new experiences and see what life is calling from me now.

I am going to take a chance on being honest versus writing what I think my potential WWOOFing hosts may want to read. My name is Verneda Adele White, and I am on a journey to discover who I really am and who I am meant to be. While 3 months of WWOOFing may not bring about these exact revelations, I have joined WWOOF as I do believe taking an opportunity to reconnect with nature and life’s basic essentials, getting out of my comfort zone, and doing something that benefits others will be a huge step forward in my journey to connect with my true calling, my vision for the future, and the gifts I am meant to use to make a positive contribution in the world. I have had the privilege of running my own social enterprise, and have spent the last 7 years being my own boss with my event consulting firm. However, I have reached a point where the pleasure of it all only extends as far as my being my own boss. It means a lot to me to be able to be an independent person, however I have lost my inspiration and vision, and as I write this application from my painstakingly beautiful office in lower Manhattan, I know I should not be experiencing the aches and pains of stress and overwhelm I feel daily as an otherwise healthy person in her mid-30s. With the overwhelm (and overworking) has come a block in my creativity, a gnawing fear that I want to be a writer but I’ll never try to be one, and that there is more to life than the day to day of surviving in New York City. Surviving…I really would love to be thriving and when a good friend, mentor and business coach of mine shared the idea of WWOOFing with me, I found myself gravitating towards all the possibilities volunteering my time on an organic farm would bring. Not only do I find myself ready for a complete change of pace, but my interest in organic food has grown over the last decade as I continue to recover from the very real dietary challenges I have developed over the last decade due to said overwhelm and overworking. I want the opportunity to give back in a fulfilling way, and to understand what the earth has to offer us to support our bodies, minds, and spirits…in other words, what I hope to achieve by WWOOFing is to build a community, gain balance, and find that still, small voice that calls me to write.

Hi Guys thanks for dropping by and checking out our profile. We are a family of 4 with two young girls Harper is 6 and Ivy is 3 and we train horses from our property in the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley at the base of the Blue Mountains just an hour and a bit from Sydney. We are situated 15 minutes to the picturesque towns of Richmond and Windsor which both have train stations with trains running every 30 minutes that run to the city and Bondi Beach. You will have your own modern self contained cabin with TV, kitchen, ensuite bathroom and barbecue facilities as well as all food supplied. You are able to cook your own meals as well as share meals with us so vegetarians and people with special diets are welcome. The work involves caring for horses, gardening, ride-on mowing, fencing and general farm work. You do not need to have experience with horses to enjoy your time here just a great attitude and an interest in learning how to care for horses or work on a farm as are those who like to work and enjoy the outdoors. There are lots of different jobs that you can do, the main thing is you will need a good attitude and a sense of humour as well as a willingness to learn, and get involved. For the right people the work is fun and varied with plenty of time to relax. We are happy to to pick you up and drop you off at the train station. There are mountain bikes that you are welcome to use if you want to explore the area or make your own way into town or the local shops. Kurrajong Village is only a short ride away and has great cafes and amazing pizza. There are also miles of trials backing onto the farm perfect for walking and mountain biking with plenty of native wildlife such as wallabies and wombats to see.

I have always been a huge fan of food but didn't learn to appreciate it as much until I arrive to Scandinavia when all the food I used to get so easily become a rare gain. I grew up as a city girl but I\'ve always had a love for nature. And for the reason of food, I'd love to spend some time at the farm to learn everything that a farm needs to put effort in to supply the world. And learn to appreciate it all even more!
