"I embarked on this path to protect the holistic health of both myself and everyone I can reach."

Merve Tüfekçi, founder of Şifa Köyü and businesswoman, stated: "In order to protect our holistic health, I established Şifa Köyü Organic Farm in Şile, Istanbul's backyard, in 2017, with the goal of protecting the health of myself and everyone who has reached this awareness. At our farm, where we conduct seasonal organic production with drug-free heirloom seeds, it is possible to find the finest products. We have a seed room on our farm and every year we plant seeds from the previous year. We also have different seeds we have accumulated from previous years. Our genes recognize these seeds. These are the finest and genuine seeds. Clean seeds that nourish our cells. These are reproducible seeds that can be passed from generation to generation."

"We organize workshops and training sessions. We inspire children to love the soil."

Merve Tüfekçi noted that they frequently organize training sessions and various workshops at Şifa Köyü, saying: "I organize workshops and training sessions on our land. Many families and children participate in our seed sowing and seedling planting workshops. They become acquainted with heirloom seeds, soil and fertilizer. Their hands and feet touch the soil. They take their own seeds home to grow them. Within a month, they witness these seeds grow and produce vegetables and fruits. This miraculous journey is truly invaluable. We inspire children to love the soil."

Merve Tüfekçi noted that they also offer online ordering to their customers at Şifa Köyü, stating: "All seasonal fruits and vegetables ordered through our website are picked fresh, packaged without delay, and delivered to the address the next day via our special delivery service.
