    Description

    Hi, I am Askin,

    I have been living at this farm since 2018. I have been planting, harvesting, collecting medicinal herbs for 15 years. I use my own produced-essential oil to make eco-cosmetics products. Additionally, when I have time, I like to work on wood carving.

    My house is in a big area where there are lots of fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Houses in our village have been built apart from each other, so it makes our place more silent and peaceful. Also, there are very nice paths for walking with beautiful scenery. Our farm is 2 hours away from Antalya by car. Also, we are close to the ancient village, Olympos, which is very beautiful and big place where everyone should see and there is a beautiful beach there. Adrasan and Cirali are also very nice places to visit. In short, this area is full of ancient places and close to the famous Lycia Road. In your free time, you can visit those places.

    I expect from the helpers to participate in the following works:
    • harvesting herbs
    • helping gardening stuff
    • taking photos for social media (if interested)
    • cooking and cleaning (in daily rotation)
    • daily working approximately 5 hours

    We will be collecting plants from different areas close to the farm when the sun at top, so you should take your hat, long sleeve shirts to protect yourself from the sun.

    If interested contact me.
