I had a wonderful time at the farm! Everyday waking up with the sounds of the birds, and going to sleep with the sounds of the owls. I loved being surrounded by the woods, it was truly a beautiful place. Also the workdays were good! We got up a bit late, had a big breakfast with everyone, and then went to work for a few hours, with soms nice coffee breaks. I was mostly building a hut, which was nice :) The owner, Anil, is really sweet and relaxed. I really came to peace at his wonderful farm. Would highly recommend anyone who is interesting in being at a remote place surrounded by nature, likes to build stuff or likes to learn to build stuff, and who is in for some philosophical discussion and for some nice backgammon games ;-)

İlk deneyimimdi harika bir hafta geçirdim. Müjdat abi ve Sabriye abla çok candan ve samimi davrandılar kendimi ailenin bir üyesi gibi hissettim. Badem fıstık ağaçlarının arasında mükemmel bir dogada elimden geldiğince çalıştım. Ordayken bir buzağı doğumuna şahit oldum çok güzel bir andı. Umarım herşey gönüllerince olur. Bu heyacani herkesin yaşaması dileğiyle.

I stayed at Mehmet and his wife Kader during the first week of my first stay in Turkey ever. I would not have wanted to miss this experience in all my life. As a sober Dutchie, i was flabbergasted by the warmth and hospitality of Mehmet, Kader and Lupus (their dog). Even the work I did (together with my co-volunteer Ahmed) on their beautiful farm felt like it was coming short of answering the love and delicious food they provided us. The work we had to do was quite intensive, but i have to say that this was my first ever experience WWOOFING or farming/gardening in general. For this reason I sometimes also did not fully understand what was expected of me, nor did i felt that I could easily ask Mehmet for further clarification because of a language barrier (even though Mehmet speaks English okay, our conversations could not get very deep). Nevertheless, the hard work was quite rewarding and was awaited by the delicious meals, laughs, çay and cuddles with their cat Limon at the end of the day. I sincerely recommend staying at Ekodanitap if you’re looking for a meaningful spending of time in beautiful nature, surrounded by equally beautiful people. Thanks again for the unforgettable week Mehmet and Kader. I will visit you again when i get the chance!

Depuis le début de notre voyage nous avons eu envie de rencontrer Anil et son lieu en Turkey. Nous n'avons pas été déçus de notre découverte. Anil est un rêveur qui a l'audace de réaliser ses rêves. Il a beaucoup de choses à transmettre et son projet prend forme petit à petit pour faire de son lieu un lieu de connections à la nature. On peut discuter de tout et nous avons bien apprécié les questions qu'il pose parce qu'il nous ont permis d'avoir des discussions bien profondes. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'une expérience authentique et riche en enseignements vous êtes au bon endroit.

Özcan abinin Kaman'ın Yelek köyündeki  çiftliğinde 1 hafta kaldım.Bozkırın hüzünlü ve derin ıssızlığının ortasında,güneşin kızıl yalımlarının menevişlendiği Hirfanlı Barajı'nı seyrederek ceviz ağaçlarını budadık.Yağmurlu havalarda sobanın yanında ceviz ayıkladık.Yaptığımız işlere Zeynullah'ın,Özcan abinin ve Malina'nın sohbetleri de eşlik etti.Bayram ziyareti için çiftliğe gelen insanlarla birlikte güzel bir bayram geçirdik.Zeynullah'ın lezzetli yemekleriyle soba başında günün yorgunluğunu dinlendirdik.Zamanın nasıl geçtiğini fark etmedim bile.Gecenin karanlığında sobanın odun ateşinin yalımları tavanda dans ederken bozkırın insanı derinlere götüren kaybolmuşluğunu yaşadım.Dağ evindeki şömine başındaki sohbetlerimiz,Malina'yla göl kenarında yaptığımız yürüyüş,göldeki gün batımını izlemek,gölden dönerken yolda otostopla bizi arabalarına alan hemşerilerimle yaptığımız sohbet çok keyifliydi. Misafirperverliğiniz,sohbetleriniz ve bana kattıklarınız için teşekkür ederim.
