A Quaint Olive and Sheep Farm
This opportunity would be a wonderful experience for volunteers who are seeking to grow as individuals. It is an ideal location for those looking to get in touch with nature and meet like-minded individuals. My farm is also only a 15 minute bus ride away from the beautiful seaside town of Foca. This location is also located just an hour bus ride from the big city of Izmir. Know that tasks given can be completed at a flexible schedule. This is a wonderful opportunity to unplug and enjoy nature because I have limited access to wi-fi on my property. It can be available for basic communication purposes when necessary, but the town of Foca is just a short distance away with plenty of wi-fi cafes!
THIS IS A SMALL FARM I TAKE ONE VOLUNTEER OR COUPLE AT A TIME
My name is Umit. I was born in Turkey before spending 19 years living on the East Coast of America. I moved back to Turkey in 2005, and I now own a small sheep farm in Foca. It is currently just me managing my property, so I greatly appreciate any help I can receive. Travelers will be treated like family during their time in my home. You can expect to enjoy sharing our cultures, making and enjoying delicious meals together, and learning from each other.

Ümit made me feel like a family member living in the house. I learnt lots about how the running of a sheep farm, the tasks were always varied and interesting, and we cooked delicious food together every day. It was a completely unique and interesting experience especially to escape to the countryside.

My experience at Umit's farm was great. It was my first time volunteering. The work was demanding but manageable and very enjoyable. The bus stop is nearby, making it easy to visit Foça. I learned a lot during this experience about crops, animal nutrition, Turkish cuisine, and more. Thank you, Umit.

Una experiencia genial.
Umit es una persona muy atenta y con la que realmente da gusto convivir. Se preocupó mucho por que estuviéramos bien en todo momento y el trabajo no era especialmente duro lo que nos permitió tener tiempo para nosotros.
