Why farmers list with us
Workers come to you
Backpackers find your farm on the map, see what you grow and when you hire, and call or email you directly. Many are already in your region.
Motivated workers
Most of them need 88 or 179 days of farm work for their next visa, so they want full-time days and stay for the season.
You stay in control
Hide your listing when you don’t need anyone, set your hiring months, and switch it back on when the season starts: yourself, any time, in our free app for farmers.
Share only what you want
You choose which contact details appear: phone, email, website or Facebook page. You can change them whenever you like.
Free, really
No subscription, no commission per worker, no contract. We are not an agency: you hire and pay your workers directly.
A real team
A small team checks every listing by hand and answers your emails, usually within 24 hours.
How it works
- Add your farm in our app for farmersAbout 2 minutes on your phone or computer, nothing to download: name, place on the map, what you grow, when you hire, how to contact you.
- We check and publish itOur team verifies the details and places your farm on the map, usually within 2 days.
- Backpackers contact youBy phone, email or through your website, in the months you hire.
- Off-season? Pause itHide or show your listing yourself in the app, or set the periods when you want to be visible once, and it shows and hides itself every year.
Tell backpackers what to expect in the description: the type of work, hourly or piece rate, whether you offer accommodation, if they need a car, and the best time to call. And check that your postcode is eligible for the 88 days: most backpackers look for eligible farms first.
Add your farm
Everything happens in WikiFarms for Farms, our free app for farmers: it opens in your browser, there is nothing to install. Add your farm, and once it’s online you manage it yourself from the same place.
Questions from employers
Is it really free?
Yes. Listing your farm, updating it, hiding it or removing it is free. Backpackers pay to use the app, not you.
Do you recruit workers for me?
No. WikiFarms is a directory: backpackers contact you directly, and you choose who you hire, how you pay them and your conditions.
My farm is already in the app
Great! Sign in to WikiFarms for Farms with the email address shown on your listing to update the details, contacts and hiring months, or to hide it. Can’t use that email? Tap « Claim your listing » in the same app.
I get calls when I don’t need anyone
Hide your listing in one tap in the app for farmers, and show it again whenever you want, or just tell us and we’ll do it. You can also remove it completely.
