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 utmost best to offer a unique stay with as much comfort and learning as possible. But we 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. There is sufficient WiFi, no TV, but a projector to watch movies in the evening on 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 wholeheartedly recommend staying at Taurus Mountains Farm, as it truly lives up to its values of innovation, community, and sustainability. From day one, you feel that you are part of something bigger. The farm staff treats all volunteers, workers, and management with genuine love and respect, and Cetin, Kim, and Berk are always around to welcome you and listen to your perspectives.
During my stay, I learned how to protect avocado trees from frost damage, work with olive and rosemary trees, and spent many lovely moments caring for the farm animals. Working alongside the villagers made the experience even more special. Zeynab is truly a GOAT. She brings so much energy to the mornings and makes time in the fields feel special and cherished. The pets Tommy, Latte, Cappuccino, and Rosie will always have a special place in my heart whenever I look back at my pictures and videos. In fact, all of the animals on the farm are friendly, sweet, and love being around newcomers, always showing so much affection.
Cetin regularly hosted opportunities to enjoy homemade Turkish cuisine and learn about local traditions. If you are considering owning a farm one day, this is a great place to start, as the farm is expanding and offers firsthand insight into how a growing farm is run. Berk always makes sure volunteers are well fed, helps with groceries, and plans fun weekend getaways. The team truly makes you feel at home, turning my one month stay into an unforgettable first WWOOF experience.

Andy was a wonderful part of our farm for nearly a month. He worked with great care, responsibility and positive energy in everything he did, from protecting avocado trees to helping with animals and daily farm tasks. He quickly adapted to the farm life and became part of the team and the village. We truly appreciated his respect, curiosity and kindness. Anyone who hosts Andy will be very lucky. Our doors are always open for him. 🌿

My mom and I had an amazing time at Taurus Mountains Farm. Cetin and his team are inviting, the accommodations are wonderful, the location is unmatched, and the farm itself is brimming with potential. I appreciated that the farm staff was so involved with the daily ins and outs of farm work (shoutout to Berk) and that we got to work side by side with members of the surrounding community. I felt like I not only had the chance to learn about and contribute to the process of organic farming, but to also be immersed in Turkish culture (food, language, customs, etc.) I am excited to see how the farm grows in the years to come. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work on Taurus Mountains Farm with my mom and will forever be grateful to Cetin and his team. It was an unbelievable experience.

Ellis and Cathy stayed with us for two weeks and it was truly a pleasure to host them. From the first day, they brought a positive attitude, good energy and a genuine interest in farm life.
Together we protected our avocado trees from frost by wrapping them with thermal covers, prepared and applied mulch around the trees and worked on daily farm tasks. They also helped with the care of our chickens and geese and supported many other activities around the farm with responsibility and care.
They were hardworking, respectful, easy to communicate with and always willing to learn. Beyond the work, we also shared very nice moments, conversations and a warm atmosphere on the farm.
We are very grateful for the time we spent together and would happily recommend Ellis and Cathy to any host. They will be a valuable and positive addition to any farm they visit.
All the best🌿

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!
