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.

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.

Mt Jukes Eco Retreat is a farm based on permaculture principles, 35 mins from Mackay CBD and 1hr from Airlie Beach. The property is on 7 acres, completely off the grid run on solar and batteries. We also run our own water and are growing our own food to be fully self sufficient. We hold Yoga classes here most Sunday's in our beautiful Yoga Shala.  Go to our Facebook page "Mt Jukes Eco Retreat" to view our classes. You are welcome to join these classes during your stay. We have a natural spring running through the property so you can swim all year. We have over 300 fruit tree with 50 different varieties. All food that has been planted is based off nutritional values, food is our fuel so we treat what we eat with upmost respect. 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!

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.

I have recently moved from Melbourne back to the upper hunter valley to my parents hobby farm and have started a mini market garden which I give away produce for free to the community. This has been such a wonderful learning experience. I am self taught so I am really looking forward to working alongside others to immerse myself in what the hosts have to teach me.

We have a passion for travel and meeting people, and decided that we wanted to challenge ourselves in a way to push ourselves out of our comfort zones. When we came across the opportunities that WWOOF provided, it was a perfect fit! We loved the idea of slow travel while gaining insight into the life of the farming families across Australia at the same time. We are passionate about the environment and sustainable living and are eager to learn more about this lifestyle through the eyes of the people that work to put food on our tables. By joining WWOOF we hope to meet a diverse range of new people and become a part of their lifestyle while offering a helping hand wherever we can. Through our work and travel, we aim to learn a range of practical skills that we can apply to our everyday lives and into the future all while forming lasting relationships.

We joined in hope that we'd be able to make contact with like minded hosts that implement either (or all) organic, bio-dynamic or permaculture principles on their respective farms and plan out a year or two worth of experiences across Australia. From the travels and experiences throughout different parts of the country we'd like to have a good understanding of where we'd like to put down roots for our own permacultre farm. It is also very much about exposing our son to many and various life experiences afar of our current modern suburb lifestyle. New lifelong friendships would be an excellent outcome too 🙂
