RE: My Experience WWOOFing on an Organic Farm in New Zealand for Four Months
Those are gorgeous photos! The two months I spent WWOOFing in Colorado were so rewarding. It made me a better person.
I don't take many pictures, typically. But I'm sure glad I took a couple shots of one of the farms I worked on. Most people think of the Rockies and ski towns when they hear Colorado... To me, it will always be the high desert on the western slope.
Wow that looks incredible! Thanks for sharing your pictures :-) What kind of farm was it?
They grow such a variety of things on that farm! There are orchards with peaches, pears, apples, apricots, plums and cherries. They also have lots of greens, various squashes, tomatoes, cucumber, and probably a lot of stuff I didn't even have time to discover.
The surrounding area is mostly all high desert climate. Most farms and gardens are irrigated from trenches that flow with water from the snow that melts from the mountaintops. But this particular farm was in a valley with a river next to it, so it created a micro-climate that was lush compared to its surroundings.
