    Descripción

    I am running a large farm (about 97 acres) near to Izmir with my parents. I am the 3rd generation of the family, so the farm is older than 50 years and it is 10 km away from Urla city center. We have 800 tangeren trees, 2000 olive trees and about 50 acres to grow vegetables, artichoke, grape, blackberry, strawberry and oregano. Besides these we also produce wheat and chickpea. We have our own vegetable garden and eat as much as possible from own ground. It is a modern farm, technically well equipped and automatically irrigated. We sometimes have daily workers to help us but we also need some extra support. Since my parents are retired, they are traveling often. We speak English and Italian. We live in the house which is inside the farm. We have 5 cats and 11 dogs. We are very hard-working yet fun-loving people.

    We are looking for hardworking Workawayers who don't mind getting their hands and clothes dirty and will respect the rules on the farm.

    5 hours a day max.

    Harvesting fruits/ vegetables / herbs
    Maintenance and repairs as necessary
    Pruning trees
    Daily inspection of irrigation system
    Chicken care
    Construction


    During winter we generally start work at 9:00 a.m. but during the summer we start at 6:00 a.m. to escape from the hot weather. (during the harvest season it depends on the weather) No experience is necessary as training is given on the job. Much of the help we need is outdoors, so be sure to pack accordingly, at very least you will need a good pair of boots or wellies, a sun-hat, sun cream, vacuum bottle and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.


    *****Please note that!

    Please contact us only if you are certain about your intention to come to our farm/ to Izmir. Once your coming dates are confirmed, it is difficult for us to make rearrangements, to reach out to other volunteers in such a short notice and keep the good work in our farm. Please note that it also puts us in an unpleasant situation with other volunteers that we had to reject to keep your spot.

    We would like to remind you that it is important for us that you respect our calendar. So we kindly request you not to leave the farm before the date that we agreed on.

    Please remember that we make all arrangements based on your words. You keeping your promise will help us to keep ours.

    We do not accept volunteers less than a week.


    If you don't responde to our messages in three days, we will move on to accept others' applications.

    Please do not ask for a video call, with the time difference and the farm’s schedule it is so hard to make an appointment. If the profile explanation and the feedbacks is not helping you, please do not hesitate to ask more.

    Don’t forget to inform us about your meal preferences and allergies when you contact us. We share our own food with our guests and do not make any special purchases.

    When you are not working, you are free to spend your time as you please.

    We do love animals, but we can't take any helpers with animals.

    We do not take on smokers!

    Thank you very much for your understanding!
