Description
Hi! I’m Özge, a lawyer and nature lover based in the Aegean region of Turkey. Together with my father, I take care of a small piece of land near Selçuk and Kuşadası, where we grow olive and various other trees, herbs, and vegetables.
Our place has two small bungalows and a few caravan spaces surrounded by fig and olive trees. It’s our family property, and we spend time here whenever we can to maintain and improve the land.
I currently live and work in Kuşadası town center, so I come to the land whenever I can. My father lives there full-time and takes care of things on a daily basis. If you’d like, you’re always welcome to spend some of your free time in Kuşadası as well — it’s a lovely coastal town, especially as the weather gets warmer. We can also meet and spend time together there when I’m in town.
We’re looking for friendly and motivated volunteers to join us and help with daily tasks around our place. The work includes garden care such as watering, general cleaning, and looking after plants, as well as keeping our bungalows and their surroundings clean and organized. There may also be some fun small DIY projects and painting from time to time.
We usually try to have at least one shared meal together each week, and whenever I’m at the farm, I enjoy cooking for everyone and spending time together.
We enjoy meeting people who appreciate nature, slow living, and hands-on outdoor tasks. I’m also into yoga, and if any volunteers are interested, we can practice together here and share the experience.

Help
Hellö Workawayers! 🌿
We are looking for friendly and easygoing volunteers who enjoy nature, simple living, and helping with daily life around our place. Most of the help is related to garden and plant care, such as watering, general garden cleaning, keeping things tidy, and taking care of outdoor areas. Around the bungalows, we need help with cleaning, organizing, small DIY projects, and occasional painting or refreshing spaces. Depending on the season, we may also do activities like olive picking, planting vegetables, or harvesting fruits together. The tasks are varied and not too difficult — we simply appreciate practical help, good energy, and people who enjoy working together at a relaxed pace. We like sharing meals, spending time outdoors, and creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere together. If you enjoy nature, teamwork, and a calm lifestyle, we’d be happy to host you!

Accommodation
You may stay in in village house which is simple but comfortable and surrounded by nature.
We ask for 4–5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week (around 20–25 hours per week) in exchange for accommodation and 3 meals a day.
We do our best to provide simple, home-style meals when I’m at the farm, and I really enjoy cooking and sharing food together during those times. Since I don’t live on-site full-time, daily meals are not always guaranteed.
However, we make sure the kitchen is available for you to use, and I’m happy to do grocery shopping based on your needs and preferences so you can easily prepare your own meals. The food here is generally simple, fresh, and nutritious, and we can try to accommodate dietary needs where possible.
