I had a great time at Emines farm. I learned a lot. The farm is big, beautiful and peaceful. I really felt at peace and grateful to have such a beautiful view and the sea right next to it. Emine takes her work seriously and provides you with meals and everything you need. working hours and free time is very clear. the third room is not what I thought It'd be but you get everything you need :) She is a really strong woman and wild boars have no chance with her😉🤣 it was a very interesting experience and Emine is a really smart woman, I'm super grateful ✨🌴

It took me a couple of days to adjust to the heat and work but volunteering on Emine's farm was ultimately an enriching and rewarding experience! There was ample opportunity to swim and rest and the sleeping facilities are great. The meals are shared with Emine and the other volunteers and were definitely a highlight of my day!! My hot tip is to take good shoes and light weight long pants!

I had such an incredible experience working on Emine's farm from start to finish. The work was challenging but always fair and rewarded with delicious food and insightful conversation with Emine and other volunteers about Turkish life, culture and history. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone travelling to Turkey looking to immerse themselves in the culture and in particular life on an organic farm!

Amazing experience on Emine's farm! We worked very structured days which included early morning hours (to escape the heat) and this gave us great freedom to plan our free hours and go to the beach (10min walk). The work was tough but always rewarded with delicious meals and great conversations at the table. Emine shared a lot about Turkish culture and gave great recommendations for our days off. I recommend this to anyone who loves dogs, wants to get to know a local and immerse themselves in peaceful nature. Thank you Emine!

I recommend this woofing program at Emine's farm. Farming is really challenging, and fortunately the tasks were always different. So I did and learned a lot of things. I spent a week and it was really nice. Emine is really kind, funny and helpful. We had good conversations and the food was really delicious. The accommodation is really clean and pleasant. I had enough time in the afternoon to do things for myself and to rest (going to the beach, play cards with other volunteers, napping). So the balance between work and free time was nice. Hope you'll get a good harvest Emine ;) bye

My experience at Emine's farm was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and I couldn't have hoped a better one. The food is amazing, the place is beautiful and the work is rewarding. If you are looking for a culture exchange this experience is for you. You a completely immersed in the Turkish culture with lots of fascinating discussions with Emine.

Emine is a fair, communicative, interesting and funny host. I couldn't have asked for a better first world packing experience. Usually you work 5 hours per day, with as much done in the morning as possible. This leaves you with the afternoons to roam around the peninsula if you wish. I chose mostly to relax on the farm which was great. The accomodation is like its own little apartment which is good for privacy. The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy. And the food was always delicious (particularly breakfast…). Thank you again Emine.
