    Hello, we are a farm dealing with permaculture and clean food. We have sheep, chickens and dogs. We grow vegetables and fruits. We also do organic farming and beekeeping. We grow olives. We produce olive oil. We produce soap from olive oil. We make products from vegetables and fruits. We produce healing creams from wild plants and olive oil. Vegan or not.. Everyone is satisfied with the food in the kitchen. We prepare vegetable packages for the customer group every week from the products we produce. We see the farm as a safe beehive. Hard-working bees in the hive are working to make the world a beautiful place. Every volunteer is actually a bee. As we carry pollen and nectar with us, we share our shared dreams to understand each other with confidence and make the world a better place.

    Help

    Help with daily chores, herding sheep, gardening.
    The rule is to do everything with pleasure. If you don't enjoy it, there is definitely a job that you will enjoy. We accept volunteers who are flexible, truly in harmony with nature and can act according to nature's calendar. We take your responsibility by accepting you. We hope you know that you take responsibility in the same way.
    farm life is a whole where all production and responsibilities should be considered together. It cannot be divided into all working hours. Sometimes you have to wait 5 hours for a birth, sometimes 5 minutes. Sometimes the season does not allow, the rain does not allow, the work is not finished, the time is extended.. Ask for details before you come.
