AGRIDA farm

From June 18 to July 2, I spent two weeks in the ecofarm Agrida . The name comes from AGRI for agriculture and IDA for the mountains around this place. The farm is located in a small village called Cazgirler, next to the bigger town Bayramiç . About 74 people live here, and there are only three children (and they are siblings). The farm uses the permaculture system, and everything is made to be recycled. From the ashtray to the organic garbage (onionskin, shells of eggs, salads, etc.) that is used to fertilize the soil or feed animals. They produce no garbage except for plastic. The farm has a solar panel system that stores energy for 48 hours and the water comes directly from the mountain springs. The farm were I have been hosted has a front garden with some vegetables.
