‘This is a farm of wonders that a family from the city built years ago to reconnect with nature.’
It was nearly 20 years ago and our grandma was on her way to Akören, a village in the district of Silivri, when she noticed the pine trees on a vast stretch of land. Those trees, which were our first asset, now surround the farm.
Next came the fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, the pond and vineyards as this empty stretch of land turned into a beautiful painting over time.
As our trees bloomed and we could harvest the vegetable gardens, we completed the construction of our stone house and started a brand new life with our chickens, roosters, ducks, geese and pheasants on the 21-acre farm.
The vegetables and fruits harvested in our farm are sent to ‘THE BARN‘ where delicious dishes are cooked and served to enjoy in the cool shadows of the trees.
Any ingredients missing from THE BARN are sources from the neighboring fields while nothing is wasted, with all food waste is recycled to make fodder, fuel or compost.
We use chili peppers instead of pesticides, eggshells for calcium and the sun for energy.
The women of our family are responsible for the seeds, the soil, the harvest and management, and our dad for the technical stuff and the bees.
We have some exciting news to share!
The grape molasses and wines made together with our guest during vintage, the jams made by grandma and the honey and olive oil produced by grandpa will soon arrive at your tables!
Our delicious products will soon be available on our website for purchase.
