    Short Property Description

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:

    We’re only accepting applications for stays of 6+ months.

    Currently, the primary way to be involved with Winderong Farm is through our Regenerative Stewardships! These are designed for people looking for long-term residency, employment and learning opportunities. They involve an initial 6-month commitment which acts as an introductory immersion to show you the diverse opportunities we have to offer and your future potential within this space. We’re ideally looking for people with the intention and capacity to live and work with us for at least 12 – 18+ months. The Stewardships involve a blend of volunteer and paid work totaling 30-35+ hours a week.

    For more info about the stewardships and the primary streams of learning, please follow the links below:

    Winderong Farm is an experimental project based on the principles of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, bush regeneration, and community building. Our intention is to practice sustainability through every aspect of our lives. We want to empower anyone who comes to Winderong with knowledge and diverse skills so that we can all continue working with this intention, both inside and outside of the farm. The vast majority of the work on the farm is done by the people who live here, for the people who live here.

    We have only had the property since 2018, so the farm is still in its infancy, and we are always learning, experimenting and dreaming of ways to make Winderong the best it can be: An abundant community of diverse people, all living regeneratively and sharing their skills, knowledge and passion to have a positive impact on the land and each other.

    Why I became a WWOOF Host

    We joined WWOOF as we love sharing our lifestyle and inspiring others to live well, grow their own food, raise animals ethically and tread lightly on the planet. We have hosted dozens of volunteers over the past few years and love meeting new people from all over the world who can share their skills and experiences with us, as well as learn new ones from us. We consistently get great feedback about the range of activities we offer to volunteers so it’s been really inspiring, for them and for us, to consistently develop new projects that we can all learn and grow from.
