In the Bodrum district of Muğla, the "Bozum Festival" was organized to support local production and keep the culture of local production alive.
Organized by the Bodrum Seed Association, the Bodrum Agricultural Development Cooperative, and the Slow Food Bodrum Yaveş Gari Association, the event took place at the marketplace in the Müskebi neighborhood.
Traditional production methods were demonstrated in workshops
Held for the first time under the slogan “Local Flavors, a Shared Future,” the festival shared traditional knowledge and experiences—passed down from generation to generation within Bodrum’s local production culture—with visitors.
In addition to workshops on harvesting and storing seeds from vegetables, participants had the opportunity to experience traditional production methods such as sourdough, Bodrum-style olive curing, olive oil soap making, and composting plant waste.
The event also featured an exhibition of old photographs of Bodrum, a meet-and-greet with authors, and folk dance performances.
