My stay at Pastoral Vadi was an amazing experience and I really hope, a lot more people will get to experience it as well! The Valley is an oasis in the Mountains around Fethiye. In the middle of nature between orange and lemon trees, I had the chance to learn about sustainable agriculture and Turkish food! We helped taking care of their animals and the beautiful land. I got the chance to meet so many amazing people! Nihat took good care, we always got the best food and in our free time we were able to see The Valley and visit beautiful spots at the river. I will miss you guys, thank you!!

Life in pastoral Vadi is peaceful and you would have plenty of time for yourself and immerse in the nature. People in the farm are all very friendly and kind. Nihat the host is very helpful. The accommodation is good it’s a little cabin in the Forrest. I would recommend this experience to other people.

My time at Pastoral Vadi was incredible, I love this place, the nature, the surroundings, the animals, the whole environment was super special for me, the work was sometimes a little hard, but it's normal, it's Farm work, so nothing to complain about, it would be great to have 2 days off a week so I could have the time to get to know the surroundings more, but for the rest nothing more to say, the food was delicious, chef Athiye and Manager Nihat are super friendly people. If you want to learn about field work and connect with nature, I recommend this place 100%.Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed being in Pastoral Vadi. I loved the nature there, the people, the food, the work. Nihat is a great person, and the other volunteers were really kind. I would just suggest fewer hours of work, as it appears in the app, even 30 hours will be good, so that volunteers can have more time to explore the area. But I strongly suggest this place for volunteers, you will feel happy in a quiet and beautiful environment.

My time at Pastoral Vadi was amazing. It was quiet in the winter. Many staff were not english speakers, but I was made to feel at home enjoying 3 vegetarian Turkish meals a day.

It was physically demanding work for 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, working on the land. After 4 days work I negotiated to stay as a paying guest as I was unwell.

The main contact Nihat was always very understanding and open to communication, as well as flexible with working hours if you want to explore.

I would recommend this to WorldPackers experience to those willing to perform physically demanding tasks.
