During my time volunteering at the farm I truly felt welcomed into Ozgur and his family's home. I learned a lot about sustainable and organic farming as well as what makes it so important yet challenging. Some of the highlights for me were getting to experience a local village gathering and attend a wedding celebration. The food is delicious and its rewarding to see the fruits of your labor.

I didn't expect to become so attached to Ozgur, his family, and the farm! This stay allowed me to learn more about the local culture, farming and sustainability, but also about myself. The environment is very peaceful, a paradise for nature lovers (especially cats)! I ate very well (even as a vegetarian), with products almost exclusively from the garden, and I quickly felt at home. I am truly grateful to Ozgur and his parents for their warm welcome. I will not forget this wonderful stay and hope to come back one day 🫶🏻

I learned a lot of things on Ozgur's farm that I didn't expect to learn, not just farming but various other skills, like for example hospitality, sustainability which includes not wasting anything, perhaps even philosophy, the importance of having gratitude for what you have in life. Ozgur has the attributes that a good teacher should have and his farm is a good place if you want to grow as a person, I only spent a short while at his farm and there would still be a lot more to learn, perhaps at a later date that will happen. My respect for organic farmers got a lot higher after this experience

This place is perfect for immersing yourself in local culture, learning organic farming, and appreciating the work behind it. The tasks were varied—some heavy, some easy—but always fulfilling. Discuss the schedule if you work remotely, as activities are spread throughout the day. Özgür is passionate and inspiring in the way he cares for the farm, and he and his parents cook delicious meals. A warm hug to the whole family (and the animals). And if you go, bring Anne some flowers.
