Details
Description
This is an organic farm and a training center situated in Kandıra, near Kerpe (a small coast on the Black Sea), 2 hours from Istanbul.
We are experimenting a natural life, with organic farming, animals, vegetation and people, all in their natural cycle. For 10 years now we have been living on the site and working together with and in nature. In our farm, we have an educational center and ecological hotel related to our training and consultancy company but the volunteers work only in the farm part.
In the training centre, we offer an alternative type of training to people and host it in the nature and we share with them our philosophy of “ecological thinking”. For our hotel and training centre guests, we organize entertaining and educational events, workshops and trainings, we sell our products and we are constantly trying to create a demonstration of how people can create great things by respecting the nature.
So we are willing to work with volunteers who will share our motivation to create a sustainable life in our farm.

Volunteers will have the chance to experiment the farm life: they will see the local agricultural techniques and the local way of living , they can learn how to make cheese, butter and bread and they can simply enjoy the animals, forest and the sea...

I spent one week at the farm and enjoyed it very much. The work was varied and fun, the food was amazing, and the people were all welcoming and warm. I met a few other travellers too and had a great time sharing the experience with them. I loved the family meals and relaxing together in the bıg tent in the evenings. Thanks again!
