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.

My experience in the farm was amazing! The hosts were always ready to help with anything and were very clear on tasks and rules. Working in the land was very grounding and rewarding in every way. I'll always remember my time here and the beautiful connections I made with other volunteers. Thank you to everyone here and specially Burak and Berk for holding this beautiful space for travelers from all over the world!

I spent two weeks in the farm, and I felt totally connected with this place and the enviroment :) The work is not so hard in my opinion, also you get the chance to connect with the earth and be completely present while you are working. Burak is an amazing host and he is always trying to make you feel confortable, the house is great and the connections that I did with other volunteers were really meaningfull, I felt that the farm is my second home :) THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

My time on the Farm is being simply amazing! It's a magical place, where we connect so much with nature and the energy is chilled and positive! The people here are soooo nice, and it's so easy and nice to connect with everyone, share moments together and we already feel like a big family right away! I've had the best time, and am happy to be able to spend even more time here! It's also an awesome opportunity to learn more about farm life, as we've got all sorts of different tasks! Thank you so much the farm, you've got a piece of my heart already!
