Description
We live with our two children (girls, 5 and 8 years old) in the middle of nature surrounded by trees and with a view of the mountains. The beautiful Köycegiz Lake is only 250 m away.
We are looking for loving people who will help us with everyday tasks, gardening and different building projects.
On our property there are olive trees, orange trees, mandarin trees, lemon trees and other fruit trees.
We attach great importance to fresh organic products and try to use everything that our garden offers us.
Our outdoor kitchen is a wonderful place to relax and process organic vegetables and fruits such as ferment, insert olives, making valuable olive oil, preparing pomegranate syrup, squeeze juices and much more.
For a healthy and conscious nutrition we prepare our meals freshly every day with regional products. We get our fresh eggs from our own organic chicken farm with free-range chickens.
