Description
our farm is 45 km away from Fethiye . it is at the early stage of making a Food Forest dream real . a dream of creating a forest , a food forest, an ecosystem , a sustainable and resilient life for all living beings . we are creating our forest by implementing Permaculture and Natural Way of Farming principles
*
I am very pleased to welcome you if you like to live with forest philosophy and share a forest dream ..
a forest is diversity , diversity is richness .
there is no good or bad .
with no ethics , no religion , no politics , no weighing machines , no prejudice , no judgements , the forest is freedom .
with all living things , plants , animals , human beings ,
forest is living together , sharing the energy of life , universe , and the nature .
forest is sustainable living , hard-work ethic , satisfying and frustrating , fun and challenging , routine and creative
**
you come here to be a forest dream , to own and become a part of the ecosystem .
***
if you have love in your heart and you feel the soil in your hands and green sweat on your face , it is my pleasure to welcome you .
bring your hands and your mind with you to create abundance and love , to create a forest , become soil , a tree , and forest
**
I know that you are an explorer , adventurer , wayfarer with restless wings and the inability to stay still , the inability to stay in one place , and as I am deep rooted down in soil ,
<< I prefer that you come at least for 4 weeks>> ,
so that we can go into the forest dreams , go deeper into the soil and share the life of our tiny friends , bacteria , fungi , all good friends in the soil .. in a shorter time than one month we can only see the trees , not the forest . get closer and closer to the soil to appreciate the immense beauty and generosity that this planet offers
**
during summer mostly we are busy with watering and harvesting medicinal herbs like lemon verbana , lemon grass , sage , thyme , and lavender .
during october , november and december, january , february , and march , we are busy with the maintainance of our trees , like pruning the trees and preparing and planting saplings and mulching .
starting from april we have black , white and purple mulberry fruits , and later we have almonds , figs , grapes , pomegranates , plums , apricots , prickly pears , apples and some other fruits
…
accommodation :
1) we have 4 rooms with private bath rooms . 2 friends share a room
2) also we have 2 wooden cabins , two friends stay in a cabin , we have a common bathroom outside.
3) you may stay in a tent also if you like .
**
I can accept only non-smoker friends .

He gradually took over some of my responsibilities and naturally stepped into the role of our team leader.

Ali is a very thoughtful and caring host, always ready to help and genuinely committed to making sure all volunteers feel comfortable. He never pressured us,… read more
