Taspinar Village Farm

I am currently running a fundraising campaign to renovate an old stone house on my farm. This house will be transformed into a cozy guesthouse for volunteers who share our passion for organic and sustainable farming. I invite all supporters to donate, share, and spread the word about this project. I plan to start the renovation at the end of June, depending on the weather. Your support will help create a welcoming space for volunteers and contribute to a more sustainable future.
If you’d like to support the project, please ask me for the link. Your help would mean so much to me!
Thank you for being part of this journey! ❤
I'll start the renovation at the end of June, depending on the weather. So I need help of volunteers who knows building or renovating the stone house. On the other hand I need help with farming. An extra helping hand is always appreciated.
We can teach all kinds of farm experiences, communal living and an introduction to local history and culture. We can teach how to make cheese, yogurt, vinegar, jam etc. The most unique experience will be to see relatively simple life in a traditional mid-size agriculture-oriented Aegean town away from mass tourism and bigger cities. One of my goals is to get the guest to plant a tree to protect nature. You will have two days off every week. You can always reach other well-known locations a few hours away like Dikili or Ayvalık. We sometimes go hiking around the local hills and forest . If you're keen to cultural and touristic destinations such as Ephesus, Pergamum, Pamukkale, Assos or Troy etc. we can have a chance to visit them on our off days.

We have one room for volunteers. Also if you have camping tents, this is perfect for staying. We are not vegan, but we cook vegetable meals mostly. Our bathroom and kitchen are available for all guests. There is a washing machine for the laundry.

During my time volunteering at the farm I truly felt welcomed into Ozgur and his family's home. I learned a lot about sustainable and organic farming as well as what makes it so important yet challenging. Some of the highlights for me were getting to experience a local village gathering and attend a wedding celebration. The food is delicious and its rewarding to see the fruits of your labor.

I didn't expect to become so attached to Ozgur, his family, and the farm! This stay allowed me to learn more about the local culture, farming and sustainability, but also about myself. The environment is very peaceful, a paradise for nature lovers (especially cats)! I ate very well (even as a vegetarian), with products almost exclusively from the garden, and I quickly felt at home. I am truly grateful to Ozgur and his parents for their warm welcome. I will not forget this wonderful stay and hope to come back one day 🫶🏻

I learned a lot of things on Ozgur's farm that I didn't expect to learn, not just farming but various other skills, like for example hospitality, sustainability which includes not wasting anything, perhaps even philosophy, the importance of having gratitude for what you have in life. Ozgur has the attributes that a good teacher should have and his farm is a good place if you want to grow as a person, I only spent a short while at his farm and there would still be a lot more to learn, perhaps at a later date that will happen. My respect for organic farmers got a lot higher after this experience

Even in a short time, i could learn several thing about sustnabilitty, the workbin a farm and the turkish culture.
I admire ozgur for what je is, a human connected to the nature and treating it Well. Even If other prefer using pesticides to Make it easier and more productive, ozgur prefer do it in a natural way as even If it takes more time and he has less food. People like him are Not afraid to do it the right way, he will hopefully inspire others in the future. I will come back for a longer period next time m'y friend to learn more about farming and sustanabilitty. Thanks for everything.

I spend two weeks at Özgur's farm and it was such a wonderful experience !
Özgur is an amazing man, very open-minded and always ready to teach you a lot of things about farming life and sustanbility; turkish cultur ... You can talk about everything with him, he's funny and he cook like a pro !
Regarding the work at the farm, the hours are respected, you'll learn a lot of things (take care of animals, how and when harvest fruits and vegetables, drive the tractor ...).
I met his family and neighbours: great poeple!
I 100% recommand to stay in his farm.
Thanks for all, I whish you the best ♥️
