    Beschreibung

    We, Murat and Sibel, have been a couple trying to explore alternative ways of living and in the year 2018 we purchased a 4 acre land and moved from Istanbul to a forest village in Antalya, Kaş.

    Our land is located on the mountain side of Kaş, on a secluded, peaceful spot within the pine forest.

    Our purpose is to live "consciously" as much as possible, be sustainable, grow our own food and be independent as much as we can.

    With these goals in mind;
    - We have changed our diet and moved to a complete plant based one.
    - We have found out about Permaculture and how its practices can help us create a sustainable ecosystem .After completing a PDC course we designed our land accordingly.
    - Being settled on a remote off-grid location, we set up a solar system for our energy necessities.
    - We have been building a new social life with like minded people with which we share similar values and interests.

    The reason we are signing up for "Workaway" is that we are only two people with limited time and energy. Generally we are only able to take care of "the most necessary tasks in our to do list" .

    We definitely love the idea of getting help from like minded people who maybe curious about the path we follow or maybe sharing similar interests.

    We have 4 zones on our land that we usually take care of tasks such as below:

    Zone 1:
    There is the stone house we built on 2019

    There are a few raised vegetable beds in which we grow some vegetables and strawberries.

    The rest of this zone is surrounded with fruit trees, herbs, shrubs and forest trees. We built a small pond also here .

    There are always unfinished spots around the house like building pathways or steps, taking care of vegetable beds, fertilizing, pruning or mulching the trees, maintenance of irrigation and pipes and of course planting new trees, flowers, herbs etc.from time to time.

    Zone 2:
    This zone is almost half an acre, terraced on a slope facing south, behind the house. There are our main vegetable beds and a dome that we built a few years ago and now want to turn into a nursery on this zone.

    The jobs that we take care of in this zone are usually about the vegetable beds or the pathways between them. Weeding, planting, picking, mulching are the main tasks that we do.

    There is also an ongoing project to make a fenced area on the terrace around the house. We intend to dig holes for fixing posts which will be used for fencing after.

    Zone 3 (The Vineyard):
    We have planted around 90 grape vines (3 varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bogazkere) in spring 2023 for our future vineyard.

    The usual tasks to be taken care of in this zone are; for the spring of 2025, we plan to build the vine trellises. After that maintenance of trellises & drip irrigation, pruning and fertilization of the vines and weeding & mulching will follow.

    Zone 4:
    This is another half an acre area located below the house and this part is where we built swales and planned as our main food forest.

    On this area, after studying tree guilds in permaculture, we have planted many trees consisting of nitrogen fixing forest trees & shrubs and edible fruit trees (olive, almond, mulberry, juniper, persimmon, quince, medlar, oleastar, peach, pear, apple, walnut, loquat etc.) to create a future food forest.

    There are also task to be done yearly in this area like planting herbs like lavender, rosemary, sage around the house and the orchard, pruning of the trees, fertilization, maintenance of irrigation, weeding and mulching etc. There is also the composting bins in this zone and every few days we turn the compost in these bins to speed up the process.

    There are other zones in the remaining part of the land such as an orchard of olive and almond trees (almost 150 trees in total) that we created in 2022. These trees do not require too much care. We do yearly maintenances like fertilizing, pruning and mulching in spring and weeding if necessary throughout summer.

    Within this orchard, there is a wood cabin called "Ambar" that we restored from an old traditional grain storage and planned to turn into a guest house. The inside sleeping and sitting part is almost done but finishing building of its bathroom, plumbing and designing surrounding landscape is also among our to do list items.

    Our farm is located within an opening in the forest and therefore there are many spots suitable for camping and parking a van where we can provide amenities.

    The area is very rich in hiking trails and observing the nature, where you can run into endemic plants and even animals.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    Now that spring is here ,we propose our wooden cabin called "Ambar" for stays.

    It is a cozy place which we converted from an old grain storage that has a loft with a double bed , a tiny kitchen with camping equipment and stove and it also has a folding desk with two chairs inside.

    There are some spots and hangers as storage for clothes, a dedicated diesel heater for colder nights and the cabin has its own solar powered system with a battery capacity of 800 KW(enough to charge phones and computers at night).

    There is also a nice space to hang out outside with a firepit(on our to do list to be made with volunteers), some camping chairs and a hammock. The place also has its dedicated toilet and bathroom (more like an outdoor bathroom) with hot water.

    We are vegan and we only cook and serve two vegan meals a day. A late breakfast around 11:00 - 12:00 a.m. and an early dinner around 18:00 - 19:00 p.m. Our guests can join these two meals and/or have a third meal whenever they prefer. In summer there is a separate fridge in the workshop building that is for use of volunteers. Also they will have daytime access to the house kitchen and fridge between 09:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m.).

    We also would like to get help with the domestic tasks, such as helping setting and tidying up meals, washing the dishes, cleaning the shared areas(kitchen, living room and around the house).

    Off days are also our own time to relax so sometimes we may be out or away. During that time ( if the guests would like to stay in) volunteers can cook for themselves.

    There are also further accommodations we can propose; such as a space to set a tent (we can also provide the tent, sleeping bags and mats) or a spot to park a van where we can prove limited solar electricity and water.

    Amenities, notes and house-rules:

    - If non-vegan food needs to be cooked it is only allowed in the outside kitchen(there is an electric oven and gas stove with dedicated kitchenware).
    - Being off grid and solar powered, the electric oven can only be operated during sunny days.
    - If you have any special dietary requirements they must be declared when you apply for stay.
    - There is free wi-fi but only 10 Mbits/sec
    - Please let us know if you have cat allergies.
    - No pets allowed in the house(happy to have them outside in our fenced area)
    - We are very keen on peace and quiet and we expect our guests to be respectful and not be too loud.
