The Experience

After a long search for a life in nature, away from the bustling city, we found ourselves in an untouched village on the outskirts of İzmit named Fethiye. Since 2016, our farm has been growing with agricultural production and related projects. We produce vegetables, fruits, microgreens, farm animals, preserves, pickles, eggs, seedlings, saplings, and potted plants appropriate to organic agriculture regulations.

I just finished my volunteering experience on the farm and it was wonderful. I learned so much, enjoyed the peaceful environment, and felt welcomed from the first day. The hosts Burak and Berk were kind, patient, and always willing to teach. I'm really grateful for the experience and I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to learn, help, and enjoy farm life. Thank you for everything :)

My experience here was truly wonderful. The atmosphere was warm, and everyone was incredibly kind. The volunteers took care of me from the moment I arrived, and the whole place felt like family. I'm especially grateful to Berk for looking after everyone and patiently answering all their questions.

I loved staying at the farm! So many lovely people and the work was nice. You won't have only one job to do so you don't get bored :) Burak and Berk are nice people who organise the work schedule, but the volunteers organise their everyday life themselves as well. The working hours are absolutely fine, you have a lot of free time where you can socialise with people from all over the world, have a walk in the forest or take care of the animals. I would highly recommend this place for everyone, who likes to work with their hands and doesn't mind if the electricity goes of from time to time ;)

This was my first volunteering experience, and I felt very welcome from the start. The work is varied, well planned and enjoyable, either working in the fields, farm kitchen, or helping around the house. I made a lot of good friends at the volunteer house and it truly felt like a family. I hope to come back in the future, it was the best part of my trip in Turkey.
