    Description

    We are a couple having a baby and we live in the camping place around Dumanlidag region connected to the Menemen town in İzmir. Our place is 20 km faraway from Menemen and actually out of the small village which is called Turgutlar. There is no road for car, no city electricity, and also almost there is no neighboor except three different settlements who lives like us at 1 km distance. But we have very beatiful nature including a nice stream and waterfall in the forest. Seven years ago we built a natural home from mud and three years ago we started to make new one which is earthbag dome style.
    We still continue to finish some details in earthbag dome. And we are busy with sustainable, ecological gardening for our food and we make beekeeping in small scale. We try to improve our community skills and think a lot about how we can break hiyerarchie and ensure naturally act about tasks... We need sharing experience about farming, gardening, building and all kind maintenance of the land. We like to make music and all other activities which make us happy. We don't use any chemical here, like shampoo, creme, tooth paste, parfumme, etc. only biodegreable ones is free and we can give you which is made by our hands.
