What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

WWOOF in Turkey

WWOOF Türkiye is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Turkey and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

I spent a few days at this olive farm in Fethiye and had a really nice time with the family. It was harvest season, so there was a lot to do, but I also learned a lot about olives. We spent two days in Fethiye at their home and a few days at the farm in the mountains. It was nice for me to see both. The food was also really delicious. We always ate together, and I got a good insight into Turkish daily life. Thank you very much for hosting me!

It was wonderful to stay with Emel (who was offsite, but checked in mid-week, and was overall excellent with communication) and her parents at their farm. It was olive harvest time, and we worked 4-5 hours in the field every day. I am used to farm work, but was not prepared for the rough terrain - steep rocky slopes covered on thistles/thorns. Thankfully they had shoes I could borrow! Next time I would bring canvas pants instead of loose ones, and my own sneakers or lace-up boots (I brought slip-on ones, which were not sufficient.). It was hard work, but balanced with equally strong relaxing! Beautiful walks in the countryside, and an abundance of delicious food. There was also a handful of others during my stay, a mix of foreigners and locals. Seref is a professional guide in addition to farmer, and brought us around to the local sites (including Tlos!) also. Overall, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Would not hesitate to stay again! Thank you so much ~

Torosların Akdeniz'den içeriye bir kervan gibi sıralandığı,karaçam ve ardıç ormanlarının içine bir kuş yuvası gibi kondurulmuş,insanda kaybolmuşluk hissi yaratan Güneçyaka'da gönüllü olarak 1 hafta kaldım.Bayram'la birlikte hem çalıştık hem de uzun uzun yaşama dair sohbet ettik.Mehmet abi,Muzaffer abi,Hasan Can ile birlikte havuzların sergilerini topladık.Öğlenleri Kevser ablanın damak çatlatan,müthiş lezzetli ve çeşnili yemeklerini yerken sofra sohbetlerimiz de eksik olmadı.İşten fırsat bulduğumuz bir gün Bayram'la çintar mantarı toplamaya çıktığımız bir öğle sonrası dağların kuytu ıssızlığında, Dalaman Çayı'nı besleyen derenin içinden gümüş bir kolye gibi büklümlenerek aktığı Gireniz Vadisi'ni ve Bozdağ sırtlarındaki Acıpayam' ın köylerini izledik.Güneçyaka'da aileyle birlikte geçirdiğim bu kısa misafirlikten zenginleşmiş olarak ayrıldım.Misafirperverliğiniz,sohbetleriniz ve güler yüzünüz için teşekkür ederim.Sağlıkla kalmanız dileğiyle...

Anıl'ın yanına gittiğimde kendimi daha önce tanıdığım eski bir dostun yanına gitmiş gibi hissettim. şebekeden bağımsız doğal bir ortamda karavanda kalmanın keyfinide yaşadım. Bol sohbet edip çiftlikle ilgili işlerede yardımcı oldum. Yalnız kaldığımdada kendimi dinleyip, güzel manzaralar eşliğinde çayımı içip oturduğumda oldu. herşey için teşekkürler. tekrar görüşmek üzere..

Ailenin wwoof uygulamasından gelen ilk gönüllüsü ben oldum. Zeytinlerin toplanması, sofralık ve yağlık olarak ayrılması gibi işlerde yardımcı oldum. onun dışında Şeref abi bizi fethiye ve çevresindeki güzel yerlere gezmeye götürdü. fethiye sahilinde yüzdük, kapıkargın kükürt kaplıcasına gittik, tlos antik kentine yürüyüş yaptık, kumluova plajı ve yol üstündeki antik kentleri gezdik. gönüllü olarak kaldığım süre boyunca konaklama olanaklarımız çok iyiydi. fethiye merkezde otelde ve yaka köyünde doğanın içindeki şömineli havuzlu evlerde konakladık. Belçikadan gelen kızları Emel ilede çok güzel sohbetlerimiz oldu. belçikadan gelen misafirleri ve diğer gönüllülerle beraberde çok şey paylaştık. akşamları şömine karşısında oturmak ve oyunlar oynamakta güzeldi. herşey için teşekkürler

I spent a little over a month volunteering at this farm and it was absolutely amazing! The work was rewarding – we harvested olives and pomegranates, and even planted nearly 400 olive trees. After work, we often had movie nights on the projector, which was a great way to bond with other volunteers. On weekends, we explored beautiful places like waterfalls, ancient cities, and went to the beach every Sunday. The accommodation was in cozy, fully-equipped houses. This was an unforgettable experience where I met great people and learned a lot about farm life. I highly recommend this farm to any future volunteer!

Ich habe drei Wochen auf der Taurus Mountain Farm verbracht – eine Woche mit einem Freund und zwei weitere allein – und kann diesen Ort wirklich nur empfehlen. Ich wollte Zeit in der Natur verbringen, mit den Händen arbeiten und das einfache Leben genießen. Genau das habe ich hier gefunden – und noch viel mehr. Die Arbeit war manchmal anstrengend, aber unglaublich schön und erfüllend. Nach drei Wochen Olivenernte das eigene Öl in den Händen zu halten, war ein tolles Gefühl. Ein riesiges Dankeschön geht an Berk, den Farmleiter, der sich mit so viel Herz um alle Volunteers kümmert. Er sorgt dafür, dass man sich vom ersten Tag an willkommen fühlt und ein Teil der Gemeinschaft wird. Neben der Arbeit gab es jede Menge Highlights: ein Ausflug zu einem natürlichen Wasserfall, Rafting, Yoga am Morgen, das Meer in Antalya, Wanderungen und gemeinsame Pizza-Abende unter freiem Himmel. Das Essen war immer frisch, lecker und mit Liebe gekocht. Die Farm ist wunderschön gelegen, ruhig und umgeben von Natur – ein Ort, an dem man schnell abschalten kann. Für mich war es eine richtig gute Erfahrung und eine Entscheidung, die ich sofort wieder so treffen würde. Cetin hat als Gründer dieser Farm eine Vision ins Leben gerufen, die das Ganze erst möglich gemacht hat 💚🌿

My time at this family farm couldn’t have been more special. I enjoyed every single day on the farm - both the work and the peaceful rhythm of life there. Mornings started with feeding and grazing the sheep, spreading crops to dry in the sun, harvesting beans, and sometimes helping out with small construction or maintenance projects as well as tree feeding. Every task felt meaningful, and the days were filled with good conversations, laughter, and shared moments with Kevser and Mehmet. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine care for volunteers made me feel completely at home. They always took the time to explain things with patience and joy. The food was delicious every day, the landscape stunning, and the accommodation cozy and comfortable. I’d love to come back one day - it truly felt like being part of a family.

Fatih and his mother took good care of me. The room provided for the volunteer is excellent and food is plentiful and healthy. There is enough space for everyone to have privacy. Fatih is generous with his knowledge and the tasks were varied. I was very happy with my stay.

I was just some days at Çevizbağı. I felt really welcome. There were two other nice voluntaries, we spend nice time together. It was harvest time, so there was a lot to do. But they still took a little time to show us around. Also they cooked really delicious and as I can’t eat gluten they often prepared something special for me. That was really nice!!! Tank you!
