Description
Hello, we are a family run farm on outskirts of a village in rural central Poland.
We enjoy living the farm life, cooking, bike trips, bonfires and looking after our animals. We've got chickens, dogs, goats and a horse. We are keen photographers, we like arts and making things, or hanging out in the tree house at sunset.
We've recently built a new house, there's still a lot of work to do on it so it grows as we learn... There is also a renovated house and a big barn, half of which has been adapted for visitors. There are three rooms in the barn with a shared bathroom, kitchen and living room with a fireplace. There are meadows and ponds at our place and a small woodland full of wildlife. Two minute walk to a nice forest. Our farm is just a bike ride away from a small friendly village, with a beautiful church and "palace" and a couple of little shops. In exchange for your work we will provide you with cosy accommodation, home cooked organic food, bikes, chats, bonfires and a family atmosphere. We have English books and board games.
