The experience

After a long search for a life in harmony with nature, away from the bustling city, we found ourselves in the untouched village of İzmit, Fethiye. Since 2016, our farm has been growing with agricultural production and related constructions. We produce vegetables, fruits, microgreens, farm animals, preserves, pickles, eggs, honey, seedling, sapling, and pot plants appropriate to organic agriculture regulations.

Program Details

Volunteers usually work with us in the field, greenhouses, or depo. We have a variety of tasks, so you won't be doing the same thing for weeks :) Though, it may take some time for you to be assigned to sophisticated tasks. If you are looking for organic farming and trying to improve your skills on daily farming tasks it is a place for you. If you join me in your free time you can even learn some extra skills :) Cultural exchange is not our main motivation but you will have plenty of time to spend with locals and volunteers from all around the world.


Activities & Shift

Our volunteers work 5 hours (08:00-13:00) in a day and 5 days a week. In addition to that, if volunteers are planning to spend their weekends on the farm they are also responsible for taking care (feeding, watering, and releasing) of the animals on weekends (it is 30 mins works, two times a day).


Rules

When you arrived at the volunteer house there are some further instructions for you to read. It will help you to adapt to the environment and daily tasks. Especially cleaning and tidiness are what we care about most.
