I joined WWOOF to gain hands on experience on how farms operate, especially the ones with livestock involved. Studying science, my goal is to become a vet. So I wish to learn more about the agricultural industry and livestock production in Australia. I also wanted to try living in regional areas to see if it suits me, because Im going to spend a lot of time in these areas if I were to study vet science.

We want to be part and join this project because we have been wanting to get to know Australia from a more authentic point of view for some time, not being just tourists, but part of the Australian culture. We also believe that it is a nice opportunity to get out of our comfort zone and lend a hand in different fields, being ecological or sustainable agriculture topics of great interest to us.

We have joined the WWOOFing scheme with the aim of meeting new people and getting a better understanding of the places we travel to. We are especially interested in meeting farmers and seeing other farms to gain new ideas and perspectives.

I am wanting a tree change. Tired of the city life. I also want to see some of this great country and give back to the backbone of this country. My plan is to have no fixed address for awhile. I have had a desire to work on farms for a long time and now is the time to make that move. I want to learn a whole lot of new skills and put those skills to use by helping out our farmers. I want to develop my skills so I can farm sit, part time caretaker etc. I like Rural Aid’s Farm Army and Farm Rescues, I would love to assist more I'm looking to meet so many interesting and fabulous people and Wwoofing seem like a great way to do that. I'm wanting life to not be predictable and not the same #%*! different day kina of thing. I want new people, new landscape, new horizons, new challenges

Ok I would say see above. But as a sum up the concept of helping each other out, the host with accommodation and sharing their knowledge and way of doing things and the WWOOFer with their enthusiasm, hours of work and willingness to learn, participate and engage in the person/family's life as an immersive experience, to have hosts and WWOOFers grow together within the pursuit of a similar goal.

Since I was young, I have been interested in raising animals and managing crops, and I like to communicate with foreigners and make memories. Not only can I experience foreign cultures, but I also want to spend my vacation in a cool way. All the Australian memories and photos that I took about 12 years ago have been erased. Not necessarily for this reason, but after that, I have been missing those memories and I want to learn hard at a local farm in a foreign country and communicate actively with foreigners.

Riverpines is a 20 year old organic vineyard in the Broke Forditch region of the Hunter Valley. Set up in the late 90's as a top shelf grape producer it has great bones. The new owners are working on a transition to a more integrated farming approach bringing in a variety of other produce and companion livestock. With a focus going forward on using biodynamic principles Riverpines is set for interesting times. Come and join us for a few days or move in for a while... Kind regards, Simon

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.

It was always clear for us to take a gap year after school and before studying. After some research we´ve discovered WWOOF! It´s an unique way to discover Australia from an inside perspective – always in contact with locals. Additionally, we want to improve our English skills, meet new people and explore a new way of living in an interesting culture which is very different to the German one. Nowadays the majority of groceries are treated with pesticides and genetic engineering. So it´s very important for us to support organic methods. In general, we´re interested in learning about your working methods and achieving new skills. Especially working on farms makes it possible to stay active in nature. We both are pet owners so we enjoy spending time with animals and taking care of them. Furthermore we hope we´ll develop ourselves in new situations, far away from home, and collect memories that will stay in our head forever!

I have heard from friends and strangers alike what an amazing time they've had in their WWOOFing experiences and wanted an immersive and cheap way to travel & also learn about farming!

Hi, we're Scott and Lanelle; a married couple with two toy poodles. We’ve been applying permaculture to our way of life and experimenting with regenerative systems in our suburban house, garden, neighbourhood and community. Our projects are a house-garden retrofit, community garden, native plant nursery and food-waste recovery scheme (Oz Harvest).

The reason why I joined WWOOF is that when I worked at a nursery school, I realized and was embarrassed that I didn’t know how to grow food and producers passion in teaching children food education. l think WWOOF is a great way to learn these things. In addition, I’m interested in culture, lifestyle or work style of different countries, so I’d like to have an opportunity to stay with multicultural people and encounter a new set of values through experience of  WWOOF. And also I’d like to learn about permaculture to put into practice it in the future.

Please call my phone only as I don't read emails BUT I do have internet 4G SO YOU WILL HAVE INTERNET ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE.

So much to do and see in the area , don't miss out on this great Australian Farm life!

Love the idea of helping others achieve their goals through organic farming and permaculture, whilst getting back into the outdoors, nature and community.

My dad signed me up. He went around Australia a while back and had great experiences WWOOFing. He thought I would like learning about how different people live, how to live more sustainably, discussing life, philosophy and the experiences of other travellers and hosts.

I want to learn more about farming. I also want some structure in the gap year I am taking. To me, WWOOFing is a way to learn more about things I’m interesting in, help others, and spend more time in areas I’m interested in.
