Our main residence is located in the centre of Orange NSW. We have a permaculture garden located at home and we also have a large scale Permaculture Educational Centre Holistically managed being built on 97 acres at Cargo. There is quite a lot of mixed work available at Cargo starting with the building of vegetable gardens, service areas for composting, buildings, food forest and pathways. Accommodation consists of a caravan  with all facilities available at the property. If working at the home or café permaculture gardens then you will stay in a room located at the home. Old fashioned home cooked meals for the evening meals with everyone joining in. Length of stay negotiable.  Keen to hear from people who would like to stay long term and work with us to develop a village setting at our Permaculture site at Cargo.  Plus those of you who also can help us with garden maintenance and animal care in town at our home.

My interest in growing and cultivating edible foods spans over three decades. My partner Ebonnie and our daughter Freeya are traveling in a firetruck-turned motorhome to live closer to nature and learn more about permaculture and organic farming. We have been in Queensland for two months. We would like to slowly navigate our way around Australia working on permaculture projects and organic farms. Our plan is to have not too much of a plan so if we like a community we will stay awhile. So far we have met so many good people who are doing a similar thing. In years to come, we would like to ferry our truck from Darwin to East Timor and then across to Indonesia so Freeya can learn subsistence farming methods there too.

S: A project I’m immersed in is focused on food waste landfill diversion, and its making me miss my farm days. My rural property in Flowerdale is a bit limited and I’m running out of projects there, so I’d love to get back into farm life and agricultural production. J: I used to WWOOF solo 12 years ago and had a blast, met some incredible people in amazing places. Always had the intention to do it again, and the kids are finally older and ready!

I joined WWOOF because it's an awesome way to travel saving money while being able to help other people at their properties!    

To explore different parts of the country. Learn about permaculture and off grid living and meet people. As I have an interest in off grid living it would be good to meet other people doing this and also to explore parts of the country I may like to live in the future.

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.

I am interested to gain greater understanding of how to live in harmony with our lands, to respect the natural balance, resilience and growth. I am recently returning to Australia and hope to visit and assist at many of the WWOOF properties. I am happy to get involved in various areas of gardens and farms, with bees and trees, to work with my hands and to continue to learn from others. In Malawi, where I lived for five years, I managed the set up of a community run garden, involving building the soil fertility to grow vegetables in sandy soil, mushroom production, fruit and hardwood tree nurseries and poultry farming.

Beautiful 230 hectare farm, running sheep for prime lamb production, practising agroforestry, natural building, cut native flowers, bush food and working dog schools. We have sheep, alpacas, horses, & dogs. Our daughter and her partner and baby live on the property as well. If you would like to see what we do go to the facebook page "Yan Yan Gurt West Farm"

To learn and help out in a country setting. To experience farm life. I had a friend on a farm in Lara when I was at high school and I always loved going to stay there. I really enjoy volunteering and have done quite a lot of it.

I joined in order to expand my knowledge base and skill set which could also be useful on my own property and whilst travelling. To help people who may need an extra hand and to experience other ways of living across Australia.

We think that grow your own food and living in harmony with Nature is and will be essential. We want to learn from others and share what we know. We support a sustainable way of living and of having holidays. We are curious and open to new opportunities.

I'm joining WWOOF to get out and do something different! I've always been interested in being closer to nature and the land. If COVID has taught me anything it is that a balance is required in life. I would love the opportunity to put my gardening/woodworking skills to good use and can think of no better way than getting out onto a farm, connecting with others and with nature!

James has had a little experience WWOOFing before, as have many friends. We're inspired to meet people living off the land, building and growing things with their hands and practicing different ways of living. We hope to learn new skills, open our minds to new ideas and have fun.

Before making the move to the country and purchasing our own place, we would like to experience the reality of living on a small/medium hobby farm and all that comes with it - managing the veggie patch, compost, looking after animals, maintaining trees and firebreaks, roads and fencing.

I want to learn some new skills and work outside. I'm interested in meeting new people and learning about different lifestyles. I'm a hard worker, and I've worked in similar roles before - in a farm in the rainforest in Costa Rica and as a gardener. I learn quickly, am adaptable and I'm not afraid of hard work.

To meet new people and doing purposeful work. I also like exchanging knowledge and discovering best practices. I am seeking out environmentally-conscious living-spaces and workplaces that promote better health for humans and the planet in general.

I'm looking for some cool sustainable projects and farms to build and refine skills! I want to build my own food forest with bees and I feel this would be a great place to meet like minded humans!
