We stayed at Emine's farm for two weeks and enjoyed the experience very much. The accommodation was clean and pleasant, and the farm itself was very cosy. The meals that Emine cooked for were good and healthy, made with local produce. She's a very nice and interesting person, and we had many interesting conversations. The work was simple and working hours were respected. The only thing u struggled with was the fact that the farm is 30-minute (walking) to Torasan, so I would highly recommend renting a car to explore the area. So I would recommend this experience to connect with nature:))

I had a wonderful experience at Emine's farm. The schedules were well-organized, and the instructions for the activities were clear. The work overall combined both high- and low-intensity activities, providing a perfect balance. The food was delicious, accompanied by interesting conversations, and my room was spacious and comfortable. I met a couple of people during my stay and enjoyed visiting nearby places. I definitely recommend volunteering at Emine's farm; I learned so many things. Thank you for everything. 😊🥰

The main tasks include helping with farm work and walking the dogs. Though mornings start early, working in the cool hours makes perfect sense. Mealtimes are especially enriching, offering lively conversations about local history and stories that tourists would rarely hear. She's very knowledgeable, and I'm grateful I got to learn from her. Surrounded by ten dogs, it's an ideal place for animal lovers. I especially loved the location, with views of the bay, beach, night lights, and mountains. You can also enjoy the local food. Thank you Emine !

Volunteering for Emine was a lovely experience. The work varied from weeding to watering plants to walking the dogs. Emine is a great cook and meals always came with great conversation. Emine cares a lot about her farm and you get to learn a lot about agriculture in Türkiye. The only thing is that the farm is a bit far from the town, which is expected since it's a farm.

We had a great time at Emine's farm! It was nice to work outside and be active on the fields, that felt really rewarding! We enjoyed a lot the delicous meals we shared together after work, Emine is truly a wondeful cook. We had interesting discussions together, she answered to all of my questions and she also gave good tips on what to do to discover the area. It was a memorable experience. We would recommend volunteering at Emine's farm!

Everything was great from the first day, the accommodation was like hotel comfort, the food was as delicious and balanced as if it was prepared by a chef, the workload was light. Emine did not mind the changes in my plans while I was there. She picked me up from the city center and then dropped me off. The tasks were understandable and simple. I was given the opportunity to work with farmers and even earned money from there. I am very pleased, it was a good experience

We had an amazing stay at Emine's farm! The tasks were diverse, we got to learn new skills, and the food was delicious! We really enjoyed the lively conversations we had at meal time, we got to share our thoughts and get to know more about Turkish culture. The schedule was well structured and through the routine we could easily adapt to our new environment. We will miss the cats, the dogs, the fields and especially the memories of the time we spent together. We would really recommend volunteering at Emine's farm!

Emine is a wonderful host, farmer and cook - always attentive and ready to help, whether with tasks, transportation or local tips. She truly cares about offering a rich cultural experience. The house is cozy and well-organised. Work hours are clear and respected, with a nice mix of activities. Meals are generous, though lunch isn't provided in days off. The beach, just 10 minutes away, is the perfect post-work retreat

I had such a lovely time at Emine's farm. The hours and schedule were well respected and communicated, the tasks weren't too strenuous but were rewarding and let you get your hands dirty, the accommodations were nice and well equipped, and the food was amazing and always came with easy flowing conversation. I absolutely enjoyed the routine, the work, the stuff to do on days off, the animals… everything. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants a local farm experience.
