Pastoral Valley Ecological Yoga Farm

Pastoral Valley is known as Turkey's largest Yoga and Meditation retreat center expanding over a 10 acre land. Living and working in a farm with local people - interacting with continuous flow of guests throughout the year, will certainly give you the opportunity to learn things like, traditional Turkish Cuisine, and ıts unique culture. You can also learn a lot about sustainable and ecological farming practices.

Our staff members are all from the village next to us...they are our neighbors . They come and start their daily routine, start to work at 8am in the morning and they leave at 6pm - everyday' all year round...for the last 15 years. they are very friendly, accommodating and always good with our volunteer friends

Wow love this experience with my whole heart! The place is amazing and truly peaceful. I was there in the off season so there was no yoga or activities but it was so peaceful and I have a great time! The host is truly kind and helpful and the hour of work were respected. I was there two week and wished I stayed longer

I had a great time in Pastoral Vadi, most of the time i worked in the strawberry field which was an interesting experience to really connect with nature and the friends I made were also the best !!
I really recommend this volunteer to anyone interested in live a farm life experience !
I wish we had yoga lessons but I understand that it was low season so we didn't had guests all the time.. I would come back again in the summer !!

My time at Pastoral was nothing short of Amazing! I was welcomed with open arms from the employees, other volunteers and host. Nihat (the host) was so kind and gently explained everything to you- he was always happy to answer any questions and made us feel very comfortable. The work was relaxed due to it being off season and we got plenty of free time to explore Fethiye. I was very sad to leave and honestly just wish I could stay as long as possible. This was one of my favorite volunteer exchanges I’ve done. I learned so much about the farm, myself and life in Turkey. Hopefully will be back!

Pastoral Vado is a truly amazing place. We were there in the of season and it was so peaceful and calm. All the staff are so nice and welcoming and the food is amazing. The work was straightforward, helping with whatever needs done on the farm. We mostly raked, weeded and gathered fruit.
I would definitely recommend.
