Phillippa has had WWOOFers live and work at a property in NSW so knows the dynamics of spending time with people from different cultures. Glenn loves the idea of exploring snd also working snd living with people on their land...

We are a family farm producing an array of fresh vegies, eggs and beef for local weekly farmers market. 45 minutes from Byron Bay. 30 minutes from Gold Coast. 30 acres on the banks of the Oxley River. 4 horses, 12 cattle, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 220 chickens. Certified Organic and Biodynamic Farm.

It sounds like a great way to meet people and to find opportunities to work for my keep whilst studying in Tasmania. I only need a space to set up my camper with some privacy, a garden hose and power lead and aside from that I’m pretty well self sufficient!

Beautiful 300 acre farm which we run wool sheep, alpaca, house cows, horses, chickens and bees. Although we've been farming all our lives, we've only been on this farm for a few years so we are still setting up. In addition to looking after the farm and animals we are growing vegetables and setting up an orchard.  We love our farming lifestyle and are always looking to enjoy and improve our farm. Its great having people come and enjoy the farm with us and join in the lifestyle. We are keen to explore ideas such as care farming and social enterprises. We have a nice new self contained donger set up with kitchen, toilet, bathroom, aircon for you to stay in or you're welcome to bring your own caravan etc. We will be starting our lambing season soon and it would be great to have some help checking and helping the ewes and any lambs that need it. We are also really keen to plant more trees on the farm. We have some seed and the will and just need help with getting things happening this autumn and winter so they have a good chance.

We joined WWOOF as we are currently travelling around Australia for two years and we are hoping to learn more about organic farming, permaculture, biodynamics and self-sufficiency. We also want to give our children (who have mostly been raised in the city) the experience of life on a farm, a greater connection to nature, an opportunity to build greater resilience, and an appreciation for where their food comes from and the importance of supporting sustainable agricultural practices. We also love the idea of being able to give back by working in various capacities on different farms and helping to spread the message about the importance of organic, sustainable and regenerative farming, with a view to being part of the change that we'd like to see in the world.

I joined WWOOF because, whilst I have learnt much from my parents, I want to learn more about sustainable gardening, and learn how other gardeners (particularly those with permaculture gardens) apply these principles. I will be in Sydney until September 2021- my Postgraduate study overseas was delayed due to Covid- and hope to learn as much as I can before heading to London!

Learning about sustainable life.

We have already spent almost two years in Australia, mostly in Victoria. We like to travel a lot but we haven't been able to do so for more than a year. 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 five years ago and we did a lot of Wwoofing. We loved it ! Now our goal is to get a work visa in New Zealand and if we can to stay there for a while. Right now we want to go north to enjoy a pleasant winter after working for six months in the farm industry. On the way we would be happy to do some wwoofing. Looking forward to meeting you.

Grant has a range of experience growing food and managing farms, having started in horticulture 43 years ago, then creating a landscaping business in Sydney for 8 years. He completed a Permaculture Design Certificate 35 years ago and upgraded the landscaping business to an edible landscape business shortly after. He then opened 3 nurseries in Sydney selling organic herbs, vegetables and ferns. He worked in the Findhorn Community in Scotland for 3 years looking after a nursey section, market garden and a large tunnel house growing summer crops. Directly after that he managed a 1 ½ acre market garden supplying vegetables to The Columbus Hotel on the Isle of Iona. Grant has been working with internationally renowned permaculturist, Geoff Lawton on a regular basis making permaculture videos for over 6 years. As a family we have been hosting Willing Workers on Organic Farms for over 18 years. We are looking for an energetic person with a strong work ethic with a physical working background and general gardening experience is preferred. There are also many building projects so any skill in that area is a bonus. This experience would suit someone who wants to learn how to manage land and grow their own food organically or is interested in becoming a permaculture teacher, designer, landscape gardener, nursery manager or market gardener.

I originally joined as a WWOOFer in December 2018, in June 2021 I re-joined 🙂

I have always been interested in learning more about how to coexist with the land, and I have always had a keen interest in gardening. I recently bought a converted Volkswagen transporter, and am looking to take off ASAP to see new places and gain new skills.

I’m looking to purchase a farm in the next 5 years. Prior to that I am looking to experience life on a working property where I can see what life on the land with animals and crops is really like.

I don't love living full time in the city. I've always known about WWOOFing and have wanted to join, so here I am. I do not have room for a garden where I live at the moment and would love to spend time helping out on a property with a garden or a farm. I would love to learn about organic farming, permaculture etc. and I've had chickens in the past and love them. I prefer to learn hands on, am a quick learner and a hard worker, I also look forward to exploring and meeting new people while not working.

I love working with trees but think I may want to branch out (pun intentional) and learn more about permaculture, market gardening, organic farming, soil science, micro biology mixology. I hope to meet people with similar interests and work as part of a team for a collective cause. I hope to learn new skills about organic practices. I want to work for people who have passion for what they are doing. I have dreams of working or being part of market garden or have a small organic garden of my own one day hope for inspiration and maybe create a vision for myself in the future.

A little garden paradise in rural Lismore, south of the Gold Coast and west of Byron Bay. Located just out of town. The garden grows mainly flowers for our market stall. We havest honey from our beehives.  Accommodation is first class and modern. Just the place for something a little different, enjoy our local rural lifestyle whilst building your knowledge.
