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.

The farm was honestly life-changing. I stayed for almost 3 weeks and felt deeply connected, to the land, the people, and the experience. I had zero farm experience but quickly found my rhythm thanks to the variety of tasks and the amazing energy there. The hosts are incredible, kind, fun, and always creating a sense of community with beach trips, football games, and campfire nights. I met people from all over the world and formed real bonds. I left with new skills, unforgettable memories, and a full heart. I truly hope to come back someday :)

I had such a beautiful experience volunteering on the farm. The work was reasonable but very hot in july/august. The people at the farm and the other volunteers made this time for me extra special. I would recommend this to anyone looking to connect with other travellers and enjoy time away from the city. Lots of light and laughs with great people, thank you so much the farm organic!!!

I had a super good experience, meeting people from all cultures, all characters, all ages—it was great. Working with local farmers was also an excellent experience, despite not being able to communicate very well. The managers were very friendly and relaxed, also a good contribution to the consumption of organic food.

Working here was a truly wonderful experience. The people really made this farm, living in a shared house and cooking communally, with regular trips to the beach and football organised by the hosts. Burak and Berk were so kind and generous and very respecting of the work hours. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to escape from the city, immerse themselves in an organic farm, and connect with likeminded individuals

The place is peaceful, great if you're looking for a quiet environment and connection with nature. There's not much around, but that's part of the experience if you want to disconnect for a while. The work is simple and easy to manage. The biggest challenge for me was the heat, it can get pretty intense on some days. The volunteer house is big but not very well maintained. Also, at one point, there were 25 volunteers, which can feel a bit too much if you're more introspective. I had a good experience. I met amazing people and shared very special moments, that's what made it all worth it.
