Descripción
Our farm which we started to establish in 2014 in Edremit Bay is 2 km to the Aegean sea and 5 km to Canakkale-Izmir highway in the north-west part of Anatolia/Turkey. Many historical places like Troia and Ephesus are in the 2hr distance. Mount Ida is very close with hundreds of waterfalls and many more hiking routes.
Approximately 15 acres of consists of olive groves. Total area of the farm is around 35 acres. There are 2 storey farmhouse in which the upper part is used as guesthouse. There are milking facility, barn (two horses), poultry house and farmhouse where we grow vegetables for farm consumption. Olive oil, milk and dairy products and natural eggs are our main products at the moment.
We like to have people to share our life here and welcome people who want to join in this simple farm life.
Permanently I and two workers live in the farm but we have a lot of visitors.

We need help in the farm for cleaning of the farm house, clearing of fields, gardening, olive collecting, horse care, milking etc.
