Heartwood Farm is a 7 acre property at Newrybar in the Byron Bay Hinterland. The farm includes a mixed orchard, an intensive market garden, pasture, and a rainforest revegetation project, all managed organically. WWOOFers will be exposed to the techniques of intensive organic fruit and vegetable production, including green manuring, composting, and crop rotation, along with rainforest regeneration. Heartwood is still in its development phase, so WWOOFers will also be exposed to a sustainability-focused design process emerging from landscape and climate observations of this unique location.

Willow Bend Farm is 5 mins from Cygnet. Enjoy lovely walks, bicycle rides and  sweet little beaches. Our 106 acre farm is a beef, vegetable & tree growing operation with numerous dams & sheds, a mixed fruit orchard, vegetable gardens & home garden. We also run a cooking school 'The Farmhouse Kitchen' from the home. Our family provides a warm & friendly environment with lovely meals, with independent accommodation provided. Sorry, no children. Mixed diet, mainly Italian. Duties include feeding & water supply to plants & animals, planting trees, pruning, digging out thistles & weeds, feeding hay & silage to livestock, helping to beautify the farm. Two weeks trial, extensions possible. WWOOFers will be treated as one of our family. Normal courtesy & kindness to others will be expected. No smoking, alcohol, drugs, or unacceptable behaviour.

I want to have a break from the mundane of life and try something new. I think it would be good for me to get out and do something practical, something I have never done before. I love learning more about the environment and permaculture and sustainable practices. I hope to meet new people, learn more about organic farming practices, and experience something new.

Working outside is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy being active and working with my hands. In the future I want to run my own farm. Therefore, I want to gain experience in different ways of small scale farming.

Mia is a licensed and experienced permaculturalist hoping to put her skills into practice. We would love to contribute our time and energy to a property that aligns with our values and makes a positive contribution to the environment and the community. Felix is looking to complete his 88 days for his second year visa.

Can do the 88 days for  417 visa extension. The property is approx 160 acres. We are a registered cattle station but we don't have many cattle. We are in the process of planting tropical fruit trees in orchards with a difference. We are situated 4 hrs from Cairns near Cooktown in Far North Qld. Unfortunately we are not a "certified organic" farm but we strive to maintain this regardless. Biodiversity being the main point . A lot to learn for those that want to learn. Would like people willing to volunteer for their board, wifi & food, (personal items and snacks not included). You will have your own private clean lockable room in the main house, We all live like a big family. The work is not hard with plenty of things to do around the farm mostly gardening but other jobs include fencing, mulching, weeding, painting and cleaning. There is no mobile reception here But You will have unlimited wifi. This position would suit mature, outgoing people and someone who just wants to experience a different way of life. Must be reasonably fit and easy to get along with. Having initiative and working independently is appreciated. Prefer non smoker,  Asian cultures  tend to be the majority of people doing the 88 days in this area But Any nationality, culture or gender is OK and poor English is OK  , English being the preferred language to communicate or translate. We ask for 5 hours per day (7am starts) though this is flexible everything depends on the weather , Ocean tides, rain, Bush walks , ETC . We try to offer outings to see the area and have a break from work, but is weather dependent. This is the tropics so weather can be hot and humid in the middle of the day . Hence the early start . Wild life is abundant and you may have the opportunity to see & handle abundant wildlife first hand. We have 4 dogs . horses,cattle, free range chickens. Free range pythons ( Non poison snakes ), Etc. The Property is on the river with good fishing. Public transport near by with the drop off point at our iconic "Lions Den Hotel". With prior notice we can offer to pick up & drop off from Cairns. We  also offer you bush walks with links to others in the area that also host 88 day helpers. So you have other options to mix your 88 day hosts

I joined WWOOF because I love learning and discovering new things. I would love to learn more about animals, permaculture, and nature in general because it’s something I’m really interested in and will definitely use in the future. I also think it’s a great way to disconnect from the virtual world and genuinely connect with new people. I’d be delighted to share this experience with someone who is passionate and happy to share what they do every day. 🙂

I am looking for a woofing opportunity for at least three weeks, with a preference for a longer stay that may include some paid work. I am not currently equipped with a vehicle, but I am available to start from November and am happy to adapt to the needs of your farm or project. I would love the opportunity to contribute to your work and be part of your community. Thank you for considering my application.

Why I’m interested in agriculture is my older sister having her own organic farm, I want to help her in the future. But unfortunately I have no idea about agriculture.

I joined WWOOF because I am passionate about the environment and working with the land and on a farm. I am also looking to fufill my 88 days! I am currently traveling and exploring the world and I want a large part of that to be while experiencing farm work or other important environmental work! I hope to learn more about the land and farming practices while also learning more about myself and my working abilities. I am very hardworking and passionate. I hope to continue to grow my passions and experience new things.

¹Wwoof"ing gives me the opportunitie to meet new interesting people, to see how other familys live and which teniques they use. Or to learn things which are useful for me. Or just to work/do anything and to be on a farm. Traveling after a long period can get exhausting.  I also do travel alone, where it is also nice to have some company and a little safe space. Often i enjoy more to be on one place.  As a backpacker i am grateful to have a short break at a good home as well and to stay around some locals; to feel kind of a "normal" life. 

WWOOFing is a more affordable way to explore Australia and for the learning experience! We would love to make friends and new connections along the way.

We are hoping to travel around Australia and felt that this would be a great way to meet people, get new experiences, help out, try new things and see a bit of the Country, whilst on a tight budget.

I joined WWOOF because I was looking for a short-term (volunteer)job in Australia. I have met so many people during my travel that were VERY enthusiastic about Australia so it got me really curious. I would love to learn more about farm work and gardening and to really be part of the Australian life.

Love animals and being outside Culture of living with families while travelling. Joined wwoof in Canada and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of living with a host and helping out with their business/farm/ranch in return. I want to learn more about growing my own food, and small scale farming so I can hopefully one day have my own little homestead. I believe it is vital to be self sustaining in this crazy unpredictable world we live in. Can’t wait to help out!
