We are living in İzmir Demircili which is an ancient settlement. The area we are living is just by the sea surronded with full of olive and pine trees. Our ranch is about 15.000 sq m2 and coming spring season we want to plant organic garden. We have 4 dogs which are friendly and 10 cats. Our aim for hosting is share our traditional way of agriculture . Also seeking for cultural exchange with the candidate and have fun. Example of a day would be waking up early in the morning and spend time 2 hours with garden and animals. After having breakfast and tea time. Everyday might be early in the morning or close to sunset mission of carrying small stones for open New areas for farming and use the outcome stone for constructing. Once a week we clean chicken coop. Then it is free time mostly. Nothing is a rush in our system and we like our workawayers to have good expriences during their stay. And they can talk to us and free to go visit close places nearby.
