I have sailing friends who were WWOOF'er hosts and they would often talk about having the helpers on their farm. It sounded like a great concept. We are currently in regional Victoria, on a property and want to work our way up to northern NSW south QLD for the warmer weather and a change of activity. I thought this would be a great way to see the regional areas and working for accommodation is a perfect way of doing it.

55 Ha (126 acres) farm surrounded by vineyards. Formerly an organic winery. Has 400 sq m greenhouse that we are building an organic aquaponics system in. First phase just started production. Ready to start building next phase. Large netted orchard. Lots nut and avocado trees. 3 Dams, creek, Karri forest. A little piece of paradise less than 15 minutes drive from awesome beaches.

We live on 100 acres in the Margaret River region, with a large orchard and kitchen garden that produces a large amount of fruit and vegetables. We focus on regenerative farming, animal ethics, cooking and food production without chemicals. Currently we have chickens, sheep, dogs and cats and human children that go to the local high school but the animal numbers change regularly. We are still growing and developing so there are plenty exciting projects to be involved with.

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

Since I'm into food, I started to curious about how the foods grow including vegetables or animals. Also interested in sustainable living practice which many WWOOF hosts are applying so I thought I could learn from them. I'm interested in organic/ permaculture practice, I thought volunteering through WWOOF is the best way to start with.

40 ac Hobby farm on a hillside surrounded by granite boulders, situated in the Wine & Fruit growing district of Queensland. Experience sustainable living, helping with all aspects of life on a farm.

Michael and I, (both 58 years old) and our friendly labrador Marley, live in our family home, on a private 5 acres, on the Blackall Range (about 425 m above sea level), Sunshine Coast Hinterland, 82 kilometres north of Brisbane. Two acres around the house are intensively managed, and the other 3 acres are rainforest, and weedy lantana and privet patches, down to Obi Obi Creek at the bottom of the property. We have two options to offer as accommodation for our WWOOFer volunteers, depending on vacancy. Our self contained granny flat underneath the main residence can accommodate a single person or a couple. Upstairs in the main residence there is a spare bedroom with ensuite, and external patio and entry. We have recently purchased the property, and are keen to establish the veggie patch and orchard, and regenerate areas of rainforest, according to permaculture principles. I am a soil consultant, working with regenerative agriculture/organic farmers and market gardeners across Australia, but particularly in south east Queensland. A few times a year, I teach soil classes for organic farmers and market gardeners, and also teach the soil component of the permaculture course at Crystal Water Eco Village. My speciality is soil mineral balancing. I completed a permaculture design certificate 22 years ago, and this will be my third (and last) personal permaculture property set up, but I am only just beginning, so there is much to be done. In our spare time, Michael and I both enjoy time on the water, fishing, and snorkelling on the wrecks at Tangalooma.

To meet new people and to learn new things. I would really like to learn gardening, growing fruits and veggies and how to take care of a garden and plants in general. One of my dreams in the future is to have my own vegetable garden so it might be helpful to get WWOOF experience 🙂

We are passionate about this style of living, organic farming and permaculture principles. We really value the experience and learning that WWOOFing offers and are keen to meet different people to share skills and knowledge, and help them achieve their goals!

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.

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.

I herd about WWOOF many years ago from my father who mentioned it when I expressed my interest in travelling in a van around Australia. I joined for the opportunity to learn new skills and meet like minded people.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. We appreciate help, enjoy young people and having an excuse to visit the beautiful and interesting places Adelaide, the hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia have to offer with them. Due to the corona virus all our booked overseas helpers had to cancel their flight to Australia. The first time in Years we might at times be without helpers at all. Some local Australian helpers, unable to go overseas are now filling the gap which is very nice as we used to have overseas helpers only before. Please read through all the text below and only apply if you think this is for you. We live on a 2 hectare property with the young Angas River running through. We have organic gardens with fruit trees, all sorts of berries, vegetable gardens with free roaming bantams, big layer hens, a Muscovy duck, flower beds, lawns as well as two goats on paddocks and a cute house cat. 1 of our 4 kids, Katharina, is living next door with her partner. Bernward is semi retired but still runs a sustainable architecture and building consultancy business part time from offices attached to the home. Barbara works at the local hospital. We have been accommodating helpers since 2011  through various help exchange sites. If you want a break from travelling in a non judgmental  friendly  family environment and you are open and self-motivated, this is the place for you. This is not an action or party place but rather a place to relax and get creative with great light, & scenery for painting and photography, write and get back to nature. A big woodworking workshop invites creativity. Here  what Grace built in our workshop:   https://youtu.be/22iNA5Om6KU and https://youtu.be/BBJUSo0my8E ) I enjoy teaching woodworking skills to our helpers with the option to learn how to fit out campervans and tiny houses. A couple of times a week we heat up our Sauna and helpers are welcome to join. Help is always needed in the garden & paddock, picking berries & apples, looking after animals, weed control, making firewood, compost, cleaning up sheds & around the place, sometimes on a sustainable building site. We live 45min by car from Adelaide, 45min from safe swimming beaches & 45min from the surf, so we are pretty central. Accommodation  for 2 in separate stone cottage & own room in the main building. All share in home cooked evening meal. Mixed diet. No smokers please. Longer stays (min 3 weeks) preferred after initial few days. Please contact us via email only.

All meals provided are healing and based on a 5000 year old tradition (Ayurveda). The food is vegetarian, and very delicious! Mt Jukes sits right in front of the property which was a volcano thousands of years ago, not many in this area. Myself (Dave) and my daughter (Dakota) are here most of the time. Dakota lives in Mackay though she works on the property 7:30am - 3:30pm Mon - Friday and is here most Sunday's helping with Yoga classes.  You will also be accompanied by Roko, (my beloved Groodle), 3 chickens and we also have 2 Bee hives. We are in the process of introducing more animals that fit within the system. If you like the sound of our retreat and would like to stay on the property and help us with farm duties please get in contact!

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.

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.

I am really keen to experience life on an organic farm and learn about the practicalities of organic farming. I envisage a future where more and more farms are going organic and I want to be a part of creating that reality. I am currently at a stage in life where I have time to engage in this experience as I have no other commitments. I also see it as a great opportunity to make connections with like-minded people and finding community.

I joined wwoof to learn about the different organic production methods and learn from  farmers' experience.

I was forwarded this information by some WWOOFers I met whilst living in Darwin. I have long been interested in organic farming but never acted on it. I want to be part of regenerative agriculture that I think is starting to take off as society realises the importance of healthy food for health and wellbeing. I am hopeful to be able to help produce healthy and delicious produce for the community.
