    Description

    An ecological village in the eastern black sea! We live in our traditional house with our family of 4, and host our guests in our pension that we built with our own means. We harvest our fruits and vegetables that we grow in many of our lands in the valley where our village is located, and our products; We turn them into jams, dried fruits, pastes and jar them. We hold various workshops of these products in every period of the year and share them with people. Our aim is to stay in our own loop and adopt the idea of zero waste and continue our lives with our products. Being in touch with nature. It will be an honor for us to share these experiences with each of our guests and to announce our family all over the world.

    Edit:
    Hello everyone, We have completed the planting work for our garden, for future dates.
    We will start our work as of May 1 (2025).

    We are looking for friends who can help us in our kitchen and with preparing the rooms.
    Especially because we are very busy working in the garden, we kindly ask our volunteers to prepare their own meals. During intense garden work, it becomes difficult for us to cook for our volunteer friends.

    * Also,
    - In August; We will need help with gardening such as harvesting hazelnuts and making hazelnut paste,
    - In November; We will need help picking kiwis with us.
    -And we also have our tea harvest
    Would you like to join us and help with the tea harvest experience in the challenging landscapes of the Eastern Black Sea?
    In tasks that feel too demanding, or when efficiency is low, we may sometimes need to rotate or change helpers.
