Pastoral Valley Ecological Yoga Farm
Pastoral Valley is known as Turkey's largest Yoga and Meditation retreat center expanding over a 10 acre land. Living and working in a farm with local people - interacting with continuous flow of guests throughout the year, will certainly give you the opportunity to learn things like, traditional Turkish Cuisine, and ıts unique culture. You can also learn a lot about sustainable and ecological farming practices. Volunteers are also encouraged to talk to visiting Yoga / Meditation Instructors to see ıf they can also be a part of their programs - if they are interested.
Our staff members are all from the village next to us...they are our neighbors . They come and start their daily routine, start to work at 8am in the morning and they leave at 6pm - everyday' all year round...for the last 15 years. they are very friendly, accommodating and always good with our volunteer friends

My experience was amazing! Loved the people, the animals, the work and the amazing location! Work was 6h of a very satisfying work on the field, kitchen or landscape. Accommodation was a spacious shared room and all food provided was delicious and in abundance. I would love to come back! Thanks

I had an amazing 3 weeks experience here, Nihat is such a lovely host, he made us feel very welcomed and we really felt like we were a part of the whole team which was amazing to be in. We were always well supported with the work and the jobs we had. I learnt a lot from the farm workers who are very knowledgeable and kind. As well as the kitchen workers who are incredibly talented, fun to work with and so kind. During our stay, there was a festival which we could enjoy which was such a fun experience. I loved being able to contribute a small part to this place, I wish I could’ve stayed more!

Marama and I had such an amazing stay at pastoral vadi. The food is AMAZING (perfect for veggies). But even better than the food are the people who work there. Most of the staff only speaks a little bit of English but it'll not stop them from trying to talk to you and being the kindest people ever. We worked 3 hours before breakfast helping on their farm and after that we would either help in the kitchen or Nihat would give us a task, which would take us up to 3 hours. The animals are amazing and super kind! In general we had a really nice stay and are looking forward to come back 🌼🍀🪷

The farm was very peaceful and the food was good. The working hours were as defined which I appreciate. Lacked a bit of the social aspect due to a language barrier with the local workers and would’ve maybe enjoyed it more if the other two international volunteers overlapped more with our time there.
