I've joined WWOOF because I have recently graduated from uni and am now seeking new adventures, skill sets, and connections with amazing people and places.

Our primary reason for joining WWOOF is to learn more about permaculture hands-on and to offer our energy and service to this cause. We hope to make connections with like-minded people and explore other parts of Australia.

For our 12 month van trip it seems like a great way to learn some practical skills and see some different ways of doing things that maybe we could incorporate into our own little garden at home. We would love to start keeping bees and chooks in our yard to start 'closing the loop' in our backyard.

I'm turning my life towards a healthier path as I don't drink or smoke anymore and trying to be vegetarian. So learning about the farm lifestyle and and knowing what I could achieve learning from the hosts itself is exciting for me and a great place to start. I'd also like to have my own farm one day. That'll be ideal.

I have come to WWOOF in hopes to engage directly with positive ecology; an interest that is not limited to one form of practice. Through engagement with prominent and emerging farming practices, I hope to discover more techniques and strategies which may bring them together. I hope to find ways of balancing cash crop seasons with cover crops and rotational grazing. I hope to find ways of practising agroforestry with high biodiversity. I wish to learn about all aspects of farming; from the hunter-gather and permaculture skills from which we began, to the organic bio-dynamic agroforests to which we will go.

Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.  

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a good way to get much new experiences, getting connected to people, learn a lot about Australia and hopefully about myself. It is great to help people with some work and get accommodation and food. And to be honest it´s nice if you have not that much money to travel.

Reclaiming paradise, a once weed infested cow paddock is being lovingly transformed into native habitat & permaculture haven. Koalas, echidnas, wallabies & birds aplenty. A 1.5km pleasant walk or bike-ride from Lismore CBD Accomodation in house, or plenty of room for camping. Work incl. mulching,building, weeding, planting, building.., depends on your skills & what you like to do.. WiFi, Bicycles, Mainly vegetarian meals.

I joined WWOOF to meet new people around australia,also I really appreciate and believe in the woofing way. Im a hard worker with a lot of experience and motivation, and I think I can help a lot in every place that I will work for. I volunteered in Israel and I want to do it more in my life and I think WWOOF is a great platforn to do so.

I joined WWOOF because of the whole idea of learning and helping and working with others. I'm also always excited about new experiences and learning new skills. It's also a great opportunity to do so by helping out, sharing, and meet new people. It would be an amazing way to experience Australia differently as a last experience there before moving back to Europe. Working with very produce-focused restaurants around the world these past few years, a more hands on experience, learning about general farming and organic practices makes a lot of sense.

Shambhala Oasis is a 10 acre rain forest property in Northern NSW Rivers Region which is being developed as a Spiritual Sanctuary and Learning Centre. One component of the vision is Shambhala Enterprise Cottage Industries, which includes organic production of fruit, veges & bush tucker superfoods. We are at the early stages of developing this property with quite a lot of planting, watering, bush fire mitigation, and building maintenance to do. The property is also dedicated land for nature, and we are blessed with a huge range of native birds, cute bush wallabies and panoramic views. Suitable for mature honest people with a sincere interest in non violence, spirituality & systemic change who can work unsupervised and love wildlife. This is an alcohol, tobacco & other drug free space thats loosely run like a post modern ashram or meditation centre with simple plant based diet.

We live on 280 acres, with 1 of 2 sons & small dog, nestled under the highest peaks of the Grampians National Park, 20 kms south of Halls Gap. We operate the Grampians Paradise Camping & Caravan Parkland, a beautiful, small camping ground with shady trees, gardens, small lake & wetlands. Native birds, animals & frogs abound. Bright starry skies. Work with us on environmental projects, fencing, gardening, maintenance, personal vegie garden and fruit orchard, firewood collection, ground works, jobs about the camping ground, occasional building projects (Aidan is very into Traditonal Timber Framing and nearly always has a project on the go). Caravan accom for 1-2 people with own cooking facilities and the use of the camp kitchen and amenities in the camping ground. Require own bedding. Campground amenities building has bathrooms and  laundry. No children. Some independent cooking and possibly some shared meals with family. Prefer No Smoking, and No Smoking Indoors under any circumstance. Can pick up from public transport at Pomonal (bus  Tues, Fri and Sun), Ararat, Stawell or Halls Gap (V Line Services - train and bus). See photos on our website. PLEASE NOTE: we have chemically sensitive family members, so will ask that no perfumes/fragranced products or scented washing powders, deodorants or shampoos are used before coming into our home. We are happy to provide unscented laundry powder, shampoo & soap as well as any advice.  Please note that some essential oils are okay, but please speak with us before using them. Having transport is a huge advantage in this location as there is no immediate public transport, and many of the bushwalks in the Grampians require a trip in the car to access start points. Having said that the new Grampians Peaks Trail, a 13 day trek through the Grampians will be passing within walking distance of our property, so at some time in the future there will be great access to this incredible walk - we will upate this note once they open the Redman Bluff section of the Peaks Trail.

I joined WWOOF to gain experience as an individual and in organic farming, I believe the future is in organic, sustainable farming on a local and commercial scale. We're seeing how unethical our methods are with poor crop yield, and unhealthy soils. I would like to learn how to bring organic farming to my neighborhood, and my own backyard in the future to reduce my carbon footprint. I want to learn from other countries, and their methods of sustainable agriculture.

WWOOFing seems like a great way to travel and meet new people. I hope to learn new skills and knowledge along the way and experience different ways of life. I did some WWOOFing with my family when I was very young and although I don't remember a lot about it, my family tell me it was a really fun experience.

I joined WWOOF through American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) and I am interested in learning about life on Australian organic and permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. I am hard working and willing to learn.

We want to share our passion for cuisine, to learn on organic farms about methods (permaculture, regenerative agriculture, pick in the wild...), to travel to new places, to meet people and practice english...
