RE: My Experience WWOOFing on an Organic Farm in New Zealand for Four Months

in #travel8 years ago

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.
