Hello,
Our farm is located in the Ermenek district of Karaman.
A living space in the middle of the world but isolated from the world. A natural beauty. A quiet farmhouse.
We are looking for long term volunteers, preferably couples, as well as short term volunteers who would like to share our life and help us with ongoing works and daily activities.
Also we prefer non-smokers.
We also have in summer time and many fruit trees.
Cherries, walnuts, apples, pears, grapes, pomegranate, mulberry, fig different kinds of plums and many more fruits are at the land.
The district's climate and vegetation are largely Mediterranean.
Summers are hot and dry.
We harvest and process products such as fruit drying, jam, pickles, tomato paste, grape molasses and wine.
Who are we?
We usually live in Istanbul in the winter. We come to our farm in the spring and stay until autumn. We also stop by occasionally in the winter.
Rıdvan is a new farmer, carpenter, internal design architect and the guy who builts everything. Gül is new farmer, knitting and woman behind that all and loves saving and sharing seeds, cooking and organizing. Enes is a ship engineer and takes care of gardening during his leave.
All GSM coverage available in the farm area. WI-FI connection available for everyone. The internet is a little slow but unlimited.
