The Initiatives of Carefit Farm

Carefit Farm is not just a support facility, but also a community-driven space where individuals with disabilities can work, learn, and connect with the local area, primarily through agricultural activities focusing on the sixth industrialization. The products manufactured here, such as dried fruits, jams, dressings, and sorbets, utilize self-grown grapes, fruits, and vegetables.
