Description
We; Hasan and Aygül set out with the intention of producing both healing and food in a sustainable life structure that includes natural and clean production. We progressed by dreaming of growing our food as much as possible, producing medicinal plants, and sharing the surplus with those who do not have the opportunity to access clean food and medicinal plants. We had the opportunity to gain experience and observe by traveling and working in different farms and campsites for years. With this excitement, we completed the Department of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. In 2012, we also had the opportunity to listen to and learn permaculture from Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton. We established our own production workshop between 2019 and 2024 and produced natural cosmetics and medicinal plants. We received Natural Cosmetics and Branding training in 2020. We have been interested in ecological transformation, waste-free life, non-toxic cosmetics and cleaning, medicinal and aromatic plants, ecological structure and ecological tourism for about 17 years and we integrate them into our lives as much as possible.
So what do we do?
In fact, we can say that we do whatever we can within the conditions.
We grow some medicinal plants ourselves. Apart from this, we do ethical collection from nature. In other words, we are careful to collect plants from places far from settlements, highways and agricultural lands, with the awareness of protecting the ecosystem, paying attention to the collection times and the amount of collection. In order to ensure the continuity of the species, we do not collect from regions where medicinal plants are scarce, but we take care to collect in places where plants are densely spread, at the right collection time, in a way that takes one-fourth of a bunch.
We try to evaluate all the plants and fruits we use, and pay attention to recycling and upcycling. We aim to use what we have in the most efficient way, without turning it into waste. We turn what we collect into clean food and medicinal products at the end of the entire production process.
We use completely natural raw materials and oils in our Natural Cleaning and Cosmetic products. We do not use synthetic preservatives, colorants, fragrances or additives in any of our products.
We closed our production workshop at the end of 2024 and decided to go on a journey. We set out to visit farms and NGOs doing similar work in Latin America and to travel by sharing information.
