Ekolojik tarım ve hayvancılık yapan peynir üreticisi
Balıkesir
Merhaba WWOOF gönüllüleri, Kaz Dağları'nın eteklerindeki aile çiftliğimizde kendi ineklerimizden elde ettiğimiz sütten artisanal peynirler üretiyoruz. Kendi zeytinliklerimizi işleyip zeytin ve zeytinyağı üretiyoruz . Sebze bahçelerimizde 4 mevsim her türlü sebzeyi kendi ürettiğimiz fideler ile yetiştiriyoruz. Kedimiz ve köpeklerimiz de bizimle beraber yaşıyor.
Yaz aylarında sabah 7.00'de bahçelerimizde ve hayvan damında çalışmalara başlıyoruz.
Bahçede; tohum ekimi, fide dikimi, hasat, gübre taşımak- malç yapmak ve ot sökmek vb. işlerimiz vardır. Çiftliğimizde 'no dig' metodu ile ekolojik tarım yapılmaktadır ve gönüllüler yardım ettikleri bu çalışmalarda öğrenme imkanı da bulurlar.
İneklerimizin bulunduğu damda; ineklerin beslenmesi gibi işlerimizde gönüllülerin bize yardım etmesini bekliyoruz. Burada temel hayvancılık anlayışı hk. gönüllüler bilgi alacak ve öğreneceklerdir.
Peynirhanede; peynir yapımı ile birlikte ekipmanların yıkanması, peynir paketlenmesi vb. işlere yardımcı olmasını beklediğimiz gönüllüler, temel peynir yapımı konusunda da bilgi sahibi olacaktır.
Yoğun bir iş temposu içerisinde gönüllülerimizle birlikte hem çalışıp hem öğreniyoruz hem de keyif alıyoruz.
Evimiz büyük, gönüllü aynı evde, kendine ait odada kalacaktır.
Hep birlikte 3 öğün yemek yiyeceğiz.
Kendi ürünlerimizle birlikte yemek yapmak, yün eğirmek, dikiş dikmek, piyano çalmak, yürüyüş yapmak hobilerimiz arasında. Masa tenisi ve voleybol sevdiğim sporlar.
Etrafımızdaki zeytinlik ve ormanlık alanda yürüyüş yapılabilir, bisiklete binilebilir. Tatil günlerinde araçla 30 dakika mesafede denize gidilebilir.
Hello WWOOF volunteers, we produce artisanal cheesesfrom the milk of our own cows in our family farm at the foothills of the Kaz Mountains. We produce olives and olive oil from our own olive groves. We grow four seasons all kinds of vegetables in our gardens. Our cats and dogs also live with us.
In the summer months, we start working in our gardens and animal barn at 7:00 in the morning.
In the garden; we have jobs such as sowing seeds, planting seedlings, harvesting, carrying manure - making mulch and pulling out weeds etc. Ecological agriculture is done with the 'no dig' method on our farm and volunteers also have the opportunity to learn in these works they help.
In the barn where our cows are kept; we expect volunteers to help us with tasks such as feeding the cows. Here, they will learn about basic animal husbandry.
In the diary; we expect the volunteers to help with tasks such as washing the equipment, packaging the cheese etc. along with cheese making, and they will also learn about basic cheese making.
In a busy working day, we all work, learn and enjoy together with our volunteers.
Our house is big, the volunteer will stay in the same house together with us, in their own private room. We will eat 3 meals together with our volunteers.
Cooking with our own products altogether, spinning wool, sewing, playing the piano, hiking are our my hobbies. Table tennis and volleyball are our favorite sports. You can hike and ride a bike in the olive groves and forests around us. On holidays, you can go to the sea, which is 30 minutes away by car.

My time at Idamera was great! I spent about two weeks helping with the cows (cleaning, feeding, milking), in the dairy room or anywhere else on the farm where my help was needed. I felt really welcome and included in the family - thank you.❤️ I could have spent definitely more time at the farm and it would have been worth it. Gudrun and Ferit really make effort to share their knowledge about agriculture so I learnt a lot. When I was feeling tired from work we found a solution together (changed the daily schedule a little bit). I can definitely recommend Idamera for other volunteers!

Idamera is an amazing place. I only spent a week here, and I had an unforgettable experience— I hope to return again soon for a longer stay. Gudi and Ferit are amazing teachers, full of knowledge and an enthusiasm to share their craft with volunteers. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the two of them about milk, cheese and yogurt production. It was a joy to work out in the vegetables patches with Gudi and it was an amazing feeling to be eating the products and vegetables they produce themselves. They are clear and concise with their directions and they are very respectful and considerate people. I will cherish the laughs and the meals I’ve had here. Thanks to them, I have been inspired to adopt some of their farming techniques for my own future farm. Their way of life has greatly impacted my thoughts on food production and consumption and I am so grateful for it! And a special shoutout for Lara who is the coolest kid ever! Thank you Idamera!!!

The owners of farm are loving people who really enjoy producing, sharing, and teaching.
Gudrun is very hardworking, disciplined, energetic, friendly, and very sweet.
Ferit is knowledgeable, always happy to share what he knows, and he is fun to talk to.
Playing with their daughter Lara, talking to her, listening to her, painting and drawing with her is so enjoyable, she is a very sweet child.
Ferit’s mother is a warm, cultured, and elegant woman; you can talk with her for hours about anything.
I will miss all the loving people I met there, and of course Boncuk the cat and Nuşin the dog, and all the animals. And I will miss the amazingly delicious vegetables in the garden, the olive oil and spices, and the yogurt and cheese we made… 🩷

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

Simon and I had a great time at Idamera farm. In one week, we could see lots of different activities : feeding cows/sheeps, milking sheeps (and then making cheese!), tyding the barn, preparing the soil and planting, … as well as cooking together, chilling with other volunteers, having joyful and delicious meals and interesting conversations.
We had the chance to see nearly all the process of making cheese and to accompagn Ferit/Gudrun working outside the farm. Ferit & Gudrun were very patient with us, always willing to show and explain to us. We quickly felt trust and autonomy.
Their farm is an interesting place where circular economy is experimented everyday, great « farm to fork » projects ; and the farm was built nearly from scratch with lots of ingeniosity !
Thanks much again Gudrun and Ferit,
Alles Güte an alle !

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...
