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

Even in a short time, i could learn several thing about sustnabilitty, the workbin a farm and the turkish culture. I admire ozgur for what je is, a human connected to the nature and treating it Well. Even If other prefer using pesticides to Make it easier and more productive, ozgur prefer do it in a natural way as even If it takes more time and he has less food. People like him are Not afraid to do it the right way, he will hopefully inspire others in the future. I will come back for a longer period next time m'y friend to learn more about farming and sustanabilitty. Thanks for everything.

I spend two weeks at Özgur's farm and it was such a wonderful experience ! Özgur is an amazing man, very open-minded and always ready to teach you a lot of things about farming life and sustanbility; turkish cultur ... You can talk about everything with him, he's funny and he cook like a pro ! Regarding the work at the farm, the hours are respected, you'll learn a lot of things (take care of animals, how and when harvest fruits and vegetables, drive the tractor ...). I met his family and neighbours: great poeple! I 100% recommand to stay in his farm. Thanks for all, I whish you the best ♥️

Özgür and his parents welcomed me to their farm. They made me feel like part of their family. I learned about Turkish culture customs, some phrases, Kemal Sunal show, traditional food and an endless list of valuable details. There's always something to do and learn on this farm. The animals were great company on our daily life. I learned about the importance of organic farming and how to make the most of crop energy, being mindful of every process like soil care, harvesting, cultivating, and jam. Don't hesitate to ask about general care process, Özgür is always willing to share his wisdom.

I had such a great time with Ozgur at his farm! The work was always enjoyable and we never had to work during the hot midday hours. During and in between work, we had lots of great chats and lots of fun. I learned so much about farming, sustainable living, and life from our talks. His home is super comfortable and his parents are lovely. It's a true local experience at Ozgur's farm. His commitment to zero waste and sustainable living is really impressive and inspiring. I'd recommend staying with and learning from him if you have the chance!
