I love working with trees but think I may want to branch out (pun intentional) and learn more about permaculture, market gardening, organic farming, soil science, micro biology mixology. I hope to meet people with similar interests and work as part of a team for a collective cause. I hope to learn new skills about organic practices. I want to work for people who have passion for what they are doing. I have dreams of working or being part of market garden or have a small organic garden of my own one day hope for inspiration and maybe create a vision for myself in the future.

Winderong Farm is an experimental project encompassing regenerative agriculture, bush regeneration, permaculture, sustainability and community living. Our farm is set on 810 acres of stunning wilderness and farmland. Our community consists of a group of 10 to 15 volunteers and paid workers, along with a host of beautiful and much-loved farm animals and wildlife. We aim to embody the permaculture principle of “we are nature working” and develop a deep understanding and respect for the land we steward, all the time aiming to regenerate the earth and learn from her and each other.

I joined WWOOF already few years ago during our first stay in Australia. We are travelling with a family at the end of the year and would like our children to know more where the food is coming from and give them possibility to experience Australia in a new way. We will be in Australia December 22 to January 23. Last time we travelled with 4 children, now we have addition of young twins, but I really hope that doesn´t scare anyone away 🙂

There are milking & beef cows, pigs, ducks, gardens, orchards, chickens, bee hives, preserving room and a wildlife sanctuary.

I have joined WWOOF to continue my pursuit of living life on the land and learning all the teachings such a life has to offer. Having grown up on 200 acres in South East Queensland, urban living has proven to be incongruent with my adult life. As well as missing wide open spaces and being with animals, there is so much I would love to learn about organic farming. I have a passion for a farm to table way of life and am eager to learn whatever someone is willing to teach.

Ours is an old-fashioned farm, mixed certified organic and biodynamic in conversion, set in a stunning valley in the foothills of the Richmond ranges National Park. We grow some vegetables (mainly for the household), berries and a mixed fruit and nut orchard, for our own use at this stage. Our animals are our main focus. They include a few Jersey cows, with their calves, a couple of beef steers for meat. And our fledgling herd of Galloways. We also have seven heritage breeding sows and three boars, and their offspring. They are sold direct to our beautiful organic butcher, Brisbane Organic Meats in Ormiston. So once every month we should have a new litter, so always babies here. Our latest acquisition is a small flock of Wiltipoll sheep, due to arrive very soon. In addition we have poultry, Pekin ducks for eggs and meat, a mixed flock of chickens that produce gorgeous eggs daily. Although we are cutting back on the ducks and changing our chicken flock out. Finally, we have 10 guinea fowl, noisy, messy and often down-right annoying, but they eat ticks and keep snakes away. Other animals, we have two beautiful ginger cats for vermin control, mainly in the sheds, and a beautiful, loveable and majestic livestock guardian dog, a two- year-old Maremma, called Baci and an adorable young Smooth-Haired fox terrier, called Dennis and our newest baby, Molly, a cheeky Kooli x Smithfield puppy.

We are curious to discover Australian farm life and learn about organic gardening, permaculture and medicinal plants. We are also always happy to be around livestock.

We are a family of 4 (2 boys, 8 & 11 years old), and we enjoy the opportunity WWOOFing gives us to learn from others & pass on our own skills to those who stay with us. We live on a 5 acre block, 7km from Alice Springs, with a beautiful outlook toward the ranges & cliff line. We enjoy mountain bike riding, and you can use our spare bikes to get to town & do some exploring. We make our own beer & bread, and keep chooks, ducks, geese, fish, pigs, goats and have wild rabbits (which we try to catch). We often see perente, sand goannas & other lizards, & dingo in and around our block. We are in our fourth year of establishing an organic permaculture market garden. We are a working small market farm and attempting to make a living from our veggie production, and supplemented with egg sales. We are implementing learnings from Curtis Stone (the urban farmer), JM Fortier (the market gardener), and Conor Crickmore (Neversink Farm). Work during school hours is maximised work time is aimed at being effective and productive, through a systems approach. Volunteering for WWOOFers includes animal care, weeding and whatever project is going at the time. We like to use any skills you bring & if we have a project to work on we welcome your input. Accommodation for 2 in our caravan with aircon and basic outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and compost toilet. All applications are taken to the family and crew to have final decision. Some shared meals, but mostly food provided for self-catering. Others stay on the property with longer term commitments and different arrangements. Children b.a. No smoking inside. Initial stay 6-14 days, longer stays and traineeships are available by negotiation and proof of enthusiasm. The more you put into your stay with us the more we all gain!

I garden at home using lots of mulch and organic matter, am really interested in other people's methods, opening dialog on what works well, what they have tried that didn't work so well. Looking forward to meeting open minded people, happy to speak their truth and their piece of paradise they are creating
