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.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I even extended my time to stay a little longer (I stayed almost 8 weeks) and it was really hard to say goodbye, because I really felt at home at the farm. I made real friends, I had great times with the volunteers and workers and I had new experiences, which were super important to me. Also, Turkey is a wonderful country and the Turkish people are the kindest I have ever met. I highly recommend the experience. Many thanks to everyone I met during this time and especially to Burak, Aslı and Görkem. I will definitely come back again!

I signed up for a marketing option, in my application I was clear about the reason why I was volunteering: I wanted to get some experience in my field. I went all the way to Turkey and I never got assigned anything from marketing. I had a great time, I helped with some tasks, and I met great people and we had a blast. The experience was cool but I left earlier cause it didn't fulfill my reason to be there. Volunteers da great job showing the new ones around but I would suggest better communication and leadership. They don't provide meals, just eggs, cheese and left veggies from the farm.
