Our Story
The period when I launched the Ourmanik brand actually started with my encounter with "Orman Çiftliği". When I started living on this farm owned by our relatives on the borders of Büyükçekmece at the age of 9, I could not have known that I would become so close to nature and that the foundations of the brand I would establish in the future would be laid during this period. This is a place where you get to know and interpret yourself again, no matter how tired your mind is. Built on an open area of 40,000 m2, with countless pine, poplar, apple, pear, plum and many types of trees; It is a fertile area with a 3,000 m2 vineyard, nearly 32 beehives, and countless vegetables. Here, feeling the smell of the soil, seeing the many shades of green and hearing the sounds of the birds are a separate source of energy and motivation for people.
My father worked on the farm for years, and I always helped him throughout my education and tried to learn the business in depth. During this period, I took part in both the production side and the sales side of the business.
With the pandemic that deeply affected the whole world in 2020, the adventure of my brand began when I first encountered my colleagues' request to purchase our products grown on our farm. The demand for honey, which was our first product from the beehives we had on the farm, and the increase in demand for natural products enabled me to establish the "Forest Farm" brand. Later, products such as tomato paste, vinegar and molasses were added to our product network.In line with the increasing demands, my cousin and I decided that the name of the brand should be changed in order to position it higher and make it a brand known first by the domestic market and then by the whole world. At the end of this process, the "Ourmanik" brand came to life. In order to develop this brand, I decided to expand our product range by examining the trend towards natural products in the food industry and analyzing consumer expectations in choosing the sector. This journey, which started with honey in 2020, continues today by including many product groups from dried fruits to nuts. Currently, "Ourmanik" meets its consumers with nearly 40 products. Our goal is to announce our country's unique flavors and healthy foods to the whole world.
This journey, which started in nature with Ourmanik, will continue in the lives and homes of our valued consumers, and will take its place as a brand preferred by the whole world in the coming period.
May nature never be missing from your life...
