The Experience

After a long search for a life in nature, away from the bustling city, we found ourselves in an untouched village on the outskirts of İzmit named Fethiye. Since 2016, our farm has been growing with agricultural production and related projects. We produce vegetables, fruits, microgreens, farm animals, preserves, pickles, eggs, seedlings, saplings, and potted plants appropriate to organic agriculture regulations.

Staying at the farm organic was really nice! I could see many different tasks to do and learn from the experienced people there. There is a big opportunity to see how veggies grow and eat a very healthy food! The house is full of nice people around always and i felt really comfortable with my place there. 110% recommended

This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I'm so glad I chose this farm! We worked on different things, learned a lot about organic farming and food, and most importantly, I met some amazing people. The whole experience was truly worth it, and I'll definitely come back again!
