The most important aim of the Education, Geriatrics, Ecological Agriculture, Tourism (EGET) Foundation is to provide scholarships to students who have financial difficulties while studying, thus serving the cultural and scientific development of society. Our foundation was established on 25-July-2015 by Safai Özer and Özlem Uzman in Muğla.

EGET Foundation’s Commercial Enterprise was established in order to ensure that our Foundation continues to support education without interruption and aims to create a strong revolving fund with the projects and investments it develops.

The first investment of our commercial enterprise was the EGET Foundation Armutçuk Organic Agriculture Enterprise. Located in Ula, Armutçuk Neighborhood, our plant is built on a 22,000 m2 land. On 24-May-2015, 415 oak saplings purchased from Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Truffle Application and Research Center were inoculated with Tuber Melonosporum spores, also known as winter black truffle. TURKEY’S LARGEST PRIVATE TRuffle Plantation was realized by our Economic Enterprise.

The second initiative of of our enterprise was to generate the first lavender farm of Turkish coastal cities. For optimum utlisation of the land, until the truffles are harvested, we planted lavander seedlings in between the oak tillers that are spaced by 6 meter intervals To grow lavender is pretty effortless and it prefers lime soil.

On 8-May-2016, 2,600 roots of Lavandula X Intermedia Super A lavender seedlings were planted on an area of 3.5 acres and EGET Foundation Economic Enterprise created the FIRST LAVENDER PLANT OF THE COASTAL CITIES. In October 2019, 2,300 roots of Lavandula Angustifolia and 250 Super A lavender cultivars were transferred to our lavender land and our lavender planting area reached 7 acres.

In 2018, 7.8 kg of lavender oil was obtained from 215 kg of lavender seeds and stems; in 2019, 25.24 kg of lavender oil was obtained from 463 kg of lavender; in 2020, 25.87 kg of lavender oil was obtained from 500 kg of lavender; in 2021, 21.7932 kg of lavender oil was obtained from 463 kg of lavender. 33,500 kg of 2300 root Lavandula Angustifolia vera, which we planted on our land in October 2019, was harvested and 1,254 kg of oil was obtained. In 2022, 23,453 grams of oil was obtained from 650 kg of Lavandalula x Intermedia Super A lavender and 4,215 kg of oil was obtained from 40 kg of Lavandula Angustifolia vera.

Instead of selling the lavender oil that we obtain by distilling the lavender that we grow in our own fields without using any chemicals and harvest with arm power, we have chosen to transform it into value-added products. By this preference, EGET TEN brand is born. In 2019, under the EGET TEN brand, we introduced six products to the cosmetics market: Lavender oil shampoo, handmade solid soap, liquid soap, lavender cologne, tonic and pure lavender water (lavender hydrosol) with many different uses. In 2019, we added day cream, shower gel, face wash gel and body lotion to our product range.

We also offer pure lavender oil for sale in special dark colored dropper glass bottles. We have our products manufactured in as much natural ways as possible under the guidance of regulations, have them analyzed in accredited laboratories and only after that they were put in the market All our cosmetics products under EGET TEN brand is registered to the Product Notification System (ÜTS) of Turkish Ministry of Health .

In June 2022, our Armutçuk Agricultural Enterprise was awarded the Organic Agriculture Certificate. Our distillation unit, which we established to obtain organic oil from our lavender, has also been certified by the certification organization Ecocert. Thus, our Economic Enterprise broke new ground and established Muğla’s FIRST ORGANIC CERTIFIED DISTILLATION UNIT.

Our commercial enterprise also sells lavender tillers retail or wholesale to either farmers wanting to start a lavender farm or to individuals or instuitions that want to grow lavenders as passtimes. Our commercial enerprise also sells gojiberry, thornless blackberry and other seasonally varying ornamental and vegatable plants

Our commercial enterprise is a member of ‘The Ornamental Plants Growers Union(SÜSBİR)’ and has Ornamental Plant Grower Certificate taken from Turkish Agriculture and Forestry Ministry, Muğla City Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry.

Our commercial enterprise, adopts to be respectful to nature and environment and to priotorise tne natural production. as a principle in each of its initiatives. We do not use any chemical fertilizers or chemical pest control methods. We also believe that we must show extra attention to protect the soil. Even choosing the fertilizer we need, our preference is for organic certificate vermicompost which is considered as a miracle of nature.

We make extra effort to be rigorous and sensitive in each product either we produce it ourselves or get it produced according to EGET standards. Before offering our products, we have them analzed in accredited laboratories. Therefore, you can be comfortable with EGET Foundation Commercial Enterprise branded items; you can offer them to your loved ones as presents.
