Description
Hi, we are young couple starting a farm 50 km away from Kraków.
At the moment we own 20 chickens, 3 goats, 3 dogs and a cat ;)
There is lots things to do around the farm and we wonder is it going to be interesting for others to come,help us and share good time close to nature.
My partner, Daniel,is a natural builder/ yoga teacher (doesn't like yoga that much anymore- he may talk about it and explain why)/ holding massage certificate guy, with huge amount of experience and knowlege in building. He loves to work with wood and is fascinated with Natural Movement.
My name is Magda, I take care of animals on the farm. I am also a horse riding instructor and rider, helping several people with their horses in nearby stables.
We are both into permaculture- wanting to create a place to experiment with different ideas both in gardening and animal keeping.
We practise everyday meditation- not being devoted to any religion, just trying to be more and more concious in everyday life.
We are on our way to prepare the farm for people to run workshops and all sorts of classes/ activities.
At the moment we would love to meet people and share/exchange knowlege and experiences. Everyone with open mind and heart is welcome!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our farm is a place which needs a lot of attention and work, but we do work here with passion and heart. We believe that this place is already offering a luxury which many people miss in everyday life- being close to nature, living in a certain rhythm, connecting work and chilling in healthy proportion.
After work we could share with our travellers all intrests we have like doing yoga together, meditate, TALK for hours or doing some horse riding :)
PLEASE have in mind that during the summer we have people at our place. Many of them are Polish and they do speak english but it needs to be your responsibility if you want to join conversation or if you want to meet people. We will not babysit our workawayers ;)

I spent one month in this beautiful farm and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. I've never worked in a farm before but Magda and Daniel were willing to teach me a lot of different things about their jobs. They are some really friendly and caring people who made me feel like I belonged there. They have loads of projects for… read more

Daniel and Magda have a very cool place. We learned a lot, the entire process of making garden beds and preparing them for winter as well as making compost. We enjoyed fresh eggs and goat milk everyday (I learned to milk the goats) and a lot of fresh produce from their land. We loved spending time with their adorable dogs and cats and chilling in… read more

Two weeks passed by as few days and I found very true in what Magda and Daniel said: indeed they are creating own sanctuary - without religion and with a lot of love, patience and curiosity for everyday life and people around.

Being a helper I could express both my creative and practical side (sometimes they went very together - as in cooking… read more

Although I spent only about a week at Magda and Daniel's farm, I am totally sure I could spend a life there! They are both charming, honest and humble people with a great deal of good sense of humour. My son, Franek (10yrs), also totally loved the place, and after the experience he told me he had just been in paradise.
OK, to make it more… read more
