I believe WWOOF is the exact place I have been looking for. Its a place where I can learn lots of things, and in exchange can volunteer to work. I am a keen learner and want to really explore and grab this opportunity.

I have a beautiful property in the Noosa Hinterland. It is 10 acres. 4 acres are cleared and 6 acres are rainforest with a beautiful track and yoga deck in the forest. I struggle to keep up with keeping the track looking beautiful and clear and mulching etc. I am passionate about organic farming and learning about permaculture, biodynamic practices also so keen to learn more and develop my skills. I have some beautiful edibles on the property and growing this. I am located in Cootharaba.

Broken Nose Vanilla is Australia's no.1 vanilla plantation, and is located in Tropical Far North Queensland. We are committed to sustainable, organic farming principles, and use no chemicals - no pesticides, no chemical fertilisers. Apart from our vanilla orchids, we also have mangosteens, carambola, breadfruit, mango and rambutan trees which are all productive. We also have a small commercial kitchen in which we produce a range of artisan products for sale both in Australia and overseas. Our vanilla products have won many prizes, and our vanilla flavour profiles are excellent!

We live 45 km from Perth, 20mn walking distance from the Chidlow Post Office,the bus stop, forests & lake Leschenaultia. In the last 20 + years, we have  developed our hobby farm: built a solar-passive straw-bale home, established an extensive garden  as well as grown three children, home-schooled with the help of WWOOFers!!! They are now young adults, two of which still live at home. With our daughters, we grow vegetables, flowers, herbs & fruit trees. We have 3 cows and a calf, 6 goats, 2 sheep, lots of chickens, an old pony, 4 bee hives & lots of visiting birds. Work includes general hobby-farming activities such as gardening, and maintenance jobs, with occasionally some more skillful work such as rock wall building, shelter building or else, checking bees/ extracting honey etc... Accommodation is in annex for 1 – 2 non-smoking WWOOFers. We cook only vegetarian meals, mostly organic, shared with the family, although we can accommodate vegan and gluten free diets. We also speak French at home, we love playing traditional folk music, classical or old 60's songs, singing, bush-walking, we're also interested in art & craft, travel, health, spirituality and philosophy, fun, and good food. Most hot days, we'll end at the lake for a cool down swim!

I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

We are looking for up to 2 people to help feed cattle and sheep, and a handyman that would like to do some building work such as fencing and putting up a new shed. We have 1000 acres of native vegetation, 4500 acres of grazing country for farming & bee keeping, with red undulating soil. Volunteeering 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  calves that need to be fed and taken care of, cows to be milked by hand and bee hives that need to be expanded. No experience necessary, we will show you what to do! 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.

The only things I have ever missed when traveling is being able to really meet people and learn in the places I am visiting. I have lived in the city so long I realized that I don't have a lot of knowledge about growing food or being educated about biodiversity. I had a friend who had an amazing year wwoofing and I have been determined to make it happen ever since! I am really hoping to just be as present as possible and take in as much experience and conversation as I can. Mostly I'm just excited to be a part of it and try new things!

Our citrus farm is about half way between Sydney & Brisbane. Bonville is a lovely area, just South of Coffs Harbour. People enjoy the space & peace here, -and we do have wifi! Sawtell Village is only 15 minutes away - surfing, beach walking, street cafes, post office, cinema & shops you can do them all. You can cycle there on one of our bicycles, complete with helmet, or we can give you a lift. Our main farm work takes place in the morning, with a tea break half way through. WWOOFers start at 8am., and finish by 1pm. Accommodation is separate from the house and has its own bathroom, TV, kettle, etc. Meals are shared at the house with us, except for breakfast, which is taken in the accommodation. Volunteering includes caring for citrus trees, helping in the greenhouses, picking, packing and mulching. Afterwards, you can relax in our pool, walk to the creek, take a nap, explore Sawtell or Coffs Harbour, watch TV, read - the choice is yours. We look forward to meeting you!

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!

To learn, to meet interesting people, to travel and for the experience. I also wish to gain skills, perspective and advice I can use to build my own smallholding, based in the Mid-North of South Australia

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies at our farm and if you are lucky you may see kangaroos, echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, food collection, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners. Accommodation for up to 3 in our home, although we usually prefer 2. Shared meals, cook together. We eat a healthy, sustainable diet.  Bron is vegan and while Ray eats most foods, many meals are vegan or vegetarian.  Vegetarians & vegans catered for.  No children, no smoking, all stays negotiable on application. Please let us know your available dates when you apply and the length of time that you would like to WWOOF here. (1 to 2 weeks preferred).

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.

Emu Ridge farms eucalyptus oil and produces a range or natural products. We are the only commercial eucalyptus oil in South Australia, operating a tourist attraction, retail & online shop. Work includes farm chores, looking after wildlife, helping bottle oils & pack products we make for our retail shop. Accommodation for 1-2 people in our home or BYO. No children. Mixed diet. NSI. Negotiable longer stays after initial visit.

I joined WWOOF because working on a farm sounds like a fun and interesting new experience. I am also excited to meet new people, and experience a different lifestyle.

We have joined the WWOOF community to discouver a new country, culture and develop our professional and personnal project. We also want to feel useful for the hosts who welcome us.

We hope to not only improve our language and working skills but also to get insights into the Australian culture and way of living at the same time. Another reason for our decision is our ambition to learn about the agricultural differences in Australia compared to Germany and the interesting flora and fauna in your beautiful country.

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.
