Volunteer in a family run organic farm in Urla, Izmir, Turkey

Em geral, minha experiência no sítio foi boa. Emine se preocupa em oferecer um ambiente com boa instalação e, você não precisa se preocupar com comida, que é muito boa e à vontade. As tarefas são tranquilas e os horários de trabalho e tempo livre são respeitados. O único ponto negativo, para mim, foi a comunicação. Meu inglês não é bom e, mesmo deixando isso claro antes de confirmar o voluntariado, senti falta de paciência e acolhimento, além de sentir um tom grosseiro comigo em alguns momentos, me deixando desconfortável. Assim, a única troca que tive com ela foi meu trabalho por hospedagem.

You didnt made it clear before confirming the volunteer position. Go back and look to the messages please, “If you are writing without any help, your english is very ok. No worries, we work with alive things (animals, plants), so English is importatnt to understand the tasks correct.” I said, and you answered as “ok.” You should have been honest and stated that you wrote it with help. And now, you don't even try to write comments in English...

I had a great time at Emine's farm. The job was not hard and 5 hrs was mostly enough time to finish. I felt that Emine didn't mind how long it took you to do something as far as you where doing it right. If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy the beach and have great food cooked by a local this is your place. Also I liked that I had my own room.

I really enjoyed my time working with Emine. Great accomodation. I had a private room with a big and comfortable bed. Every day she cooked amazing turkish food. The working hours were perfectly respected. This is a good opportunity to experience real farming life and to get to know the local culture.

My stay with Amine was excellent! The work/life balance was perfect and the sleeping accommodations were very nice. I really enjoyed having a set schedule every day and the work was super manageable as long as you're willing to get your hands dirty. Amine takes a moment to warm up to but once you show her kindness and a willingness to work, she is super nice and a joy work with. I would definitely recommend this opportunity.

I had an amazing time here! Amine, the host is very kind and ensures each volunteers needs are met. She is clear and gives you a schedule that makes it easy to plan your days. Everything is very well communicated and your never left with any questions. She cooked amazing meals and always makes sure you are left full. The farm work is great- we harvested olives while was there and I appreciated that she tells you how she wants things done and then lets you work in your own way. I met other travelers and learned a lot about organic farming. Overall an amazing experience, I highly recommend!

We had a great experience at Emine's farm. The work schedule was well respected, we had enough free time to go swimming, chill out, and visit the surrounding towns during our days off. The accommodation was perfect: clean room and bathroom. The work was varied. The food was incredible, we will miss it. Emine gave us lots of advice and lots of very funny stories. Thank you for this great first volunteering experience.

I had the best time! It was a unique experience to get to do real farm work and see how everything works. Bonding with the cats, dogs, Emine and the other volunteers was a delight, I felt well supported the whole time. Emine looked after us incredibly well with comfortable accommodation, yummy food and funny stories. I would recommend if you're keen for some routine and not afraid to get your hands dirty!

My stay was comfortable and rewarding. Emine respected my time, made great meals, and gave me a private room that was clean and a good place to recharge from the day. Emine was kind and even helped me retrieve my passport when UPS caused an issue. She shared recommendations for where to go on days off, and I learned a lot from her about the history of Turkey. She has some great stories if you ask her! I would recommend this stay for anyone who wants to spend time with dogs and plants, is good at taking direction, and is interested in the workings of a family-owned farm.

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:))
