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.

Idamera is beautiful place. I have spent 2 weeks there with Ferit and Gudrun and their lovely family. They know so much about agriculture and animal husbandry. I have learnt so much from them and enjoyed our lovely conversations too. Would definitely recommend this place for whoever wants to eat good cheese too. Thank you for everything. Kisses to Lara and Heidi

Ferit, Gudi ve kızları Lara ile küçük bir aile olan idamera çiftliği,benim gittiğim hafta gelen misafirler ve gönüllülerle kalabalık bir aile oldu. gudinin avusturyadan anne babası oradaydı. babası süper enerjik otel işletmecisi ve aşçıydı. fransadan gelen genç bir çift gönüllü, amerikan ve lübnanlı bir gönüllü, avusturyadan gelen aile dostları katya derken kahvaltı ve yemeklerde 10 kişilik sofralarda 5 6 farklı anadile sahip insan bir arada oturduk. feritin çevresindeki diğer aile dostlarınıda eklersek neredeyse 8 le 9 farklı anadilde insan bu küçük aile çiftliğinde bir araya geldi. çiftlikteki işler için diğer gönüllülerle iş paylaşımı ve planlaması yaptık. ben damda ineklerin beslenmesi ve sabahları süt sağılması işlerini yaptım. ferit ve gudi bizlere iş planlanmasında anlayış gösterdiler ve kendimizi iyi hissetmemiz için yardımcı oldular. aynı zamanda genç jenerasyondan olmaları, yaşlarımızında yakın olması sebebiyle iletişim kurarken bol esprili, eğlenceli ve rahat şekilde sohbetler yaptık. 20 gün gibi kısa sürede çok güzel insanlar tanıdım, bol peynirli, bol oksijenli, bol enerjili bir deneyimdi benim için. Ayşe anne, ferit, gudi, lara, ceren, katya, quentin, elisa, rey, chloe, alen, nirva, hamed, songül abla hepsine sevgiler...

Être accueillis comme volontaires dans la ferme d'Anıl, c'est avoir la chance de découvrir son univers, sa famille, leurs animaux. C'est partager ses rêves et goûter à ce lieu enchanteur et tellement ressourçant. C'est aussi travailler à ses côtés, apprendre de son savoir-faire et admirer ses gestes précis, francs, efficaces et toujours justes. C'est être le témoin privilégié de ses choix de vie et bénéficier de son immense générosité et de sa bienveillance. C'est regarder les étoiles en silence et écouter le feu qui chante. C'est laisser ses sens et son cœur s'ouvrir à bien plus grand que soi. Vivement le printemps prochain :-)!

This was my first WWOOF experience, and I can't recommend it enough. I spent a little less than two weeks with Özcan, his sister, his son, Zeinulha, Döner, and Perya, and everyone was kind and welcoming. The room I stayed in was clean and very pleasant, as was the bathroom I had access to. It should be noted that only he and his son speak English; Nurya (his sister) speaks German, the rest of the staff speak exclusively Turkish, but this isn't a problem, as gestures and smiles are understandable in all languages. For those who might be interested, I encourage you to plan ahead with your needs (hygiene products, guilty pleasures, cigarettes, etc.) as the farm is somewhat out of the way. The work I was able to do was quite physical, so make sure you're in good shape if you want to visit Özcan's place. During my various workdays, I was able to: - Harvest tomatoes, peppers, and beans - Install irrigation pipes - Participate in the major cleanup of the Anatolish (traditional tea room) - Cut down dead trees to prepare the wood for winter - Prune trees Although minimal work is expected, I was able to go for a hike or take some time for myself when I felt the need. In any case, if this farm is on your route, go for it!
