I've arrived at my first farm! All of the people I worked with today -1 other WWOOFer, 3 permanent staff, and the owner - were all exceptionally nice. I worked harvesting and bundling radishes and turnips for farmers markets tomorrow morning. After, I used a hoe to weed rows of onions and weeded patches of strawberries. The valley that Red Dog is in is filled with pastures, other farms, and private homes. From my tent I have a clear view of the surrounding mountains and a field of cows neighbor me to the west. Today it was sunny and warm, perhaps unseasonally so, which made working outside awesome. I'll take pictures of the farm this weekend and post them soon.
In the meantime, I have some pictures from my drive up here with my dad. You can click on any of these for a larger image.

I love the first farm so far! I'm excited to enjoy some local hiking this weekend and work more come Monday.
