Nestled in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains in Antalya, it’s all about natural farming
Antalya
Hello WWOOFers, the story of the farm began during the pandemic as a sanctuary to connect with nature and pursue sustainable agriculture. Our farm is certified organic by European standards, and we maintain the highest standards in our farming practices. Currently we have a small community of local people dedicated to natural living and farming. Alongside the team, we share our space with a variety of animals, including chickens, geese, dogs, and cats. Our farm is about creating a balanced, harmonious environment where nature and community thrive together.
At Taurus Mountains Farm, our typical farming activities include organic gardening, harvesting avocados, olives and herbs, and maintaining our animal habitats.
It is important for us that WWOOFers actively participate in the work to be done. We do our very best to offer a unique stay with as much comfort and learning as possible. But we have also have a lot to do and need real support. Therefore, we ask only the ones to apply who are really interested to work with us. Volunteers work six days a week from 9.00am to 12.00am and then again from 2.00pm to 5.00 pm. Times can shift due to weather conditions or other reasons. But working hours are two times three hours and work on a farm is also not always easy. Please consider this when applying.
At Taurus Mountains Farm, we love practicing yoga, experiencing the beauty of nature, and engaging in creative projects like carpentry and furniture restoration. Nearby, there are plenty of activities for WWOOFers to enjoy. The Taurus Mountains offer stunning hiking trails with breathtaking views. We have several spots for swimming in nearby rivers and lakes. The farm itself provides opportunities for nature walks, bird watching, and exploring the local flora and fauna.
WWOOFers at Taurus Mountains Farm will stay in cozy cabins, each accommodating up to three people. The cabins are comfortable, providing a rustic and peaceful environment. We start the day with a simple breakfast, followed by a hearty lunch after the morning's work, and a communal dinner at 6 PM. Meals are prepared using fresh, organic produce from our farm, ensuring nutritious and delicious options. There is no TV, but a projector to watch movies in the evening with Netflix or YouTube. Alcohol (Wine and Beer) is only allowed on Saturdays. Additionally, bicycles and a car are available to use, allowing easy access to surrounding attractions.
Our focus is on creating a balanced, healthy lifestyle that aligns with our sustainable and natural farming practices. that aligns with our sustainable and natural farming practices.

I stayed at Taurus mountains farm for one month while in Turkey and I would highly recommend it. The farm is located in a really beautiful area surrounded by incredible views of the mountains. They are a fairly new farm which I found really interesting to have been part of this chapter as they navigate many important foundational aspects of their farm. Theres a real communal feeling amongst everyone involved so i felt comfortable right away.
We mainly worked with the farm manager, Berk, who always does his best to make sure the wwoofers felt comfortable. And Zaynep, who had a wonderful energy and taught us how to make Burek! Cetin and Kim are also wonderful hosts and very accommodating.
We worked from 8:30am-1:30pm Monday - Friday with Saturday as a cleaning day and Sunday as a free day. Our main working duties included planting avocado trees, giving them shade wraps. And replacing the old watering system. We even did a little bit of work with the bees. All the work was very rewarding and I learned so much about avocado trees.
I already miss the beautiful days in the avocado felid, great movie nights with the team and cuddles with Rosie the dog! I’ll Definitely be back!

I spent one week at Cetins place, settled in a wonderful spot with great view on the mountains. The volunteers are lodged in nice and comfortable stone houses and meals were cooked together in the big kitchen/living place. Berk, the farm manager was very welcoming, the communication was excellent and on top he was always trying to comfort all volunteers needs. Work wise, I was harvesting or planting in greenhouses, planting trees and making carob powder during the week but never more than four hours a day, which gave enough time to relax and go for walks in the afternoon. A big thank you for this discovery and wishing all the best for this project to develop and grow :-) hope to come back one day soon!

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 💚🌿

Staying in a farm immersed in mountain, it would be the best place for be in! You have the chance to watch the sunrise in the morning and the magnifique sky full of stars in the night. My staying at Tuaras mountain farm was super good since the program of volunteers is clear, we work in range between 4 to 6 hours maximum, it's a place that you could volunteer in the farm and communite without stop your remotely job.
The atmosphere is great, team work indeed.
A warm thanks for Berk, cetin, Kim, Uncle Omar and his wife and the female villager's workers. Wish you to grow up more Tauras Farm Team! and to reach the sky unlimited achievement:)
