Description
Refugees from Ukraine welcome.
We completed the build of our straw bale house back in 2016 and now we run a small farm providing for ourselves and our goats, who in turn give us milk which we turn into cheese, ice-cream and soaps!
There is always something to do.
As our herd of goats has expanded we need more and more help looking after them, so if you are a budding Heidi (or Peter) then you have come to the right place. Taking them out to pasture, helping with feeding, milking and mucking out are all jobs that are on our list.
And if that’s not for you then we grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers so there is always work in the garden; planting, weeding, harvesting and processing.
Odd jobs around the farm from repairing a fence to chopping wood for the fire, the list never seems to get any shorter.
And we have two daughters aged 5 and 9, so don’t think you will get too much peace and quite
You will have your own on suite bedroom during your stay, but we encourage you to use the whole house and get involved in the family unit as a whole, we find it enhances the experience for all.
We prefer volunteer couples\friends, although we do make exceptions if you have past Workaway experience and favourable feedback.

Help
For the animal lovers there is an opportunity to take the goats out to pasture and keep an eye on them as they munch through the vegetation :)
If you are more hands on then there is always maintenance of the house, inside and out, basic wood work, decorating.
And if you want to get your hands dirty then help on the farm, field work, weeding and animal care which will probably include mucking out the goat pens :)

Accommodation
You will be provided with your own en suite bedroom within the house and hopefully become part of our family for the duration of your stay.
What else ...
The area is distinctly rural and if you love nature then it's all around, however the city of Rzeszow is less than an hour away if you crave civilisation and we will be happy to get you to a train or bus station to take you there. We also try and visit the antiques market there every second Sunday.
Krakow is a few hours away by train where you will find plenty to do.

From the first moment, Eddy & the whole family made us feel at home, there was never a dull or awkward moment, everything just flowed so easily.
Eddy & Gosha not only made us feel welcome, but they also taught us so much. The love & passion they put into everything they do is so inspiring.
