    Description

    Dear Friends, I embrace you with love and sincerity.

    What you have learned so far; I invite you in, leaving all the teachings, all the beliefs, the anxieties and prejudices that limit you at the door of the farm.

    After living in nature for a long time, I learned that everything is exactly as it should be and that there are no mistakes in life.

    I continue to learn by accepting all kinds of differences with pure love.

    I invite you to experience the happiness of sharing our information by communicating with each other by helping each other in return.

    I hope to live, work and have deep conversations with unique friends like you from all over the world, from the region where I live, from all over the world that I may never meet, and to experience ideas that I never thought of.

    Maybe I'm opening my door wide for friendships that will last a lifetime.

    I would like to welcome brave and privileged people like you, who will come to an unfamiliar environment by overcoming their distances and fears.

    I took the first step into my new life with a tolerant, open mind and believing that everything would be possible somehow. If you want to meet me, please send the first message.

    I want you to help me with the following issues;
    - Helping you prepare healthy meals of your own culture,
    - English and Spanish teacher,
    - Making wall paintings suitable for nature on the farm,
    Thank you from now.

    You can see the work I do with volunteers, depending on the season, on my Instagram account.

    Our farm is 20 km away from the center of Manisa province in western Turkey. The distance to the sea shore is 70 km. The nearest village is 4 km away and there is always a bus to the city. The farm, which has belonged to our family for three generations, has vineyards, walnut trees, olive trees and many fruit trees. We grow our own food in our summer and winter vegetable gardens. There are 3 separate houses for accommodation in our farm. Our guests can stay in separate houses. We have cat and dog friends on the farm. I live alone on the farm, sometimes my mother and son stay on the farm.

    We also make nature-friendly agricultural practices in our farm. We grow products with traditional methods. We do not use any toxic pesticides.

    According to the season, our main works on the farm are as follows; Garden preparation, seedling growing, seedling planting and hoeing, Garden irrigation, vegetable and fruit harvesting, vegetable and fruit drying, pickle making, wine making, bread making, jam and marmalade making, buying seeds, cleaning and repairing buildings on the farm, winter firewood All the daily life work on a farm, such as preparing, is done.

    What I expect from volunteer guests is to do all the work together, to prepare meals together, to do cleaning and repair work together, to work in the garden together, and to learn new things from each other.

    to work 5 hours a day as the season and weather conditions allow, to chat in the remaining time, to experience different dishes, to drink wine at sunset, to watch a movie in the open air cinema at night, in short, to share the most valuable thing, time and make a new friend.

    Hope to see you

    Değerli Dostlar, sizi sevgi ve samimiyet ile kucaklıyorum.

    Bu güne kadar öğrenmiş olduğunuz ; tüm öğretileri, tüm inançları, sizi sınırlayan kaygıları ve önyargıları çiftliğin kapısında bırakarak içeri davet ediyorum .

    Uzun süre doğada yaşayınca, her şeyin tam da olması gerektiği gibi olduğunu ve hayatta hata olmadığını öğrendim.

    Saf sevgi ile her türlü farklılığı kabul ederek öğrenmeye devam ediyorum.

    Karşılık birbirimize yardım ederek iletişim ile bilgilerimizi paylaşmanın mutluluğunu seninle birlikte yaşamaya davet ediyorum.

    Burada yaşadığım bölgede, belki de asla buluşamayacağım dünyanın her tarafından gelen senin gibi kendine özgü dostlar ile birlikte yaşamayı, çalışmayı ve derin sohbetler etmeyi, aklıma gelmeyen fikirleri deneyimlemeyi umut ediyorum.

    Belki de ömür boyu sürecek dostluklar için kapımı ardına kadar açıyorum.

    Hiç bilmediğin bir ortama mesafeleri ve korkularını yenerek gelecek olan senin gibi cesaretli ve ayrıcalıklı insanlara şimdiden hoşgeldin diyorum.

    Bende bu yeni hayatıma hoşgörülü, açık fikirli ve her şeyin bir şekilde mümkün olacağına inanarak ilk adımı attım. Sende benimle tanışmak istersen, lütfen ilk mesajı sen at.

    Senden en çok şu konularda bana yardımcı olmanı istiyorum;
    - Kendi kültürüne ait sağlıklı yemekler hazırlamaya yardım etmeni,
    - ingilizce ve İspanyolca öğretmeni,
    - Çiftlikte doğaya uygun duvar resimleri yapmanı,
    Şimdiden teşekkür ederim.

    Gönüllüler ile yaptığım işleri mevsimine göre instagram hesabımdan görebilirsiniz.

    Çiftliğimiz Türkiye'nin batısında Manisa ilinin Merkezine 20 km uzaklıktadır. Deniz kıyısına uzaklığı 70 km dir. En yakın köy 4 km uzaklıkta ve her zaman şehre giden otobüs vardır. Üç nesildir ailemize ait olan çiftlikte üzüm bağları, ceviz ağaçları, zeytin ağaçları ve bir çok meyve ağaçları vardır. Yazlık ve kışlık sebze bahçemizde kendi yiyeceklerimizi yetiştiriyoruz. Çiftliğimizde konaklama için 3 ayrı ev mevcuttur. Misafirlerimiz ayrı evde kalabilir. Çiftlikte kedi ve köpek dostlarımız vardır. Çiftlikte tek başıma yaşamaktayım, bazen annem ve oğlumda çiftlikte kalmaktadır.

    Çiftliğimiz de doğa dostu tarım uygulamaları yapmaktayız. Geleneksel yöntemler ile ürün yetiştiriyoruz. Hiç bir şekilde zehirli tarım ilaç kullanmıyoruz.

    Çiftlikte mevsime göre başlıca işlerimiz şunlardır ; Bahçe hazırlama, fidan yetiştirme, fidan ekimi ve çapalama, Bahçe sulama, sebze ve meyve toplama, sebze ve meyve kurutma, turşu yapımı, şarap yapımı, ekmek yapımı, reçel ve marmelat yapımı, tohum alımı, çiftlikteki binaların temizliği ve tamiri, kışlık yakacak odun hazırlama gibi bir çiftlikte günlük yaşamsal tüm işler yapılmaktadır.

    Gönüllü misafirlerden beklentim, tüm işleri beraber yapabilmek, beraber yemek hazırlamak, beraber temizlik ve tamir işleri yapmak, beraber bahçede çalışmak, ve birbirimizden yeni şeyler öğrenmek.

    mevsim ve hava şartları müsait olduğunca günlük 5 saat çalışmak, kalan zamanda sohbet etmek, farklı yemekler deneyimlemek, gün batımında şarap içmek, gece açık hava sinemasında film seyretmek, kısacası en değerli şey olan zamanı paylaşıp yeni bir dost edinmek.



    Görüşmek dileğiyle...
