Description
Join our team, learn organic farming. Our farm is 60 km to city centre and 3 km to Marmara sea, the land is full of trees and birds. There are 2 water springs and feeding ponds which are full of fish, frogs, and turtles. At the beginning we were planting and harvesting only for our boutique hotel, after that the excess production went to our friends, and then the website came in. Today we are delivering to households and best chef restaurants 6 days a week. We cooperate with our neighbor farmers, showing them that agriculture is possible without harmful chemicals: our aim is organic, sustainable farming and leaving our resources to the coming generations in a better condition than we found them in.
We have a boutique hotel in our land, mostly visited by groups who enjoy yoga and nature.
