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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hello everyone. Oh my goodness I truly loved this experience — my first time volunteering on a farm, and it felt like the whole world was there! I met amazing people from many countries, learned from them, and proudly shared a bit of my beloved Colombia 🇨🇴❤️🇹🇷. We felt like a family. The host was always kind and attentive. I enjoyed the trips to the sea and the calm moments with Sol and Lina, the sweetest little dogs. Thank you to everyone for the warmth and culture you shared. Highly recommended!🙏🥇

The farm is an incredible place to be. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, while immersing you into the local culture and a brilliant international community. I have learned so many new skills here and have formed many new connections that I'll value forever. Both Burak and Berk are amazing and incredibly helpful. Thank you for everything and take care of the puppies ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

The farm is surprisingly great in all aspects. The farmland is huge with a wide range of plants. The work schedule is well-organised and respected, which makes things easier. There's a variety of tasks too, like planting, weeding, organising, collecting, and similar. Every day brings something different. The volunteers' house is nice, but could use some refurbishment. The downstairs toilet needs to be filled with a bucket to work. Also, cleaning isn't really a thing there, though I blame the other volunteers for that. Still, a rewarding experience!

It was an enriching experience I learned a lot about Izmit, Turkey, and the local culture. Additionally, life on the farm taught me how to care for animals and how to plant and tend to crops. It's an excellent place

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!
