  Description

  My family and I run a farm with agritourism in the Low Beskid Mountains. Before we have lived in a big city but have felt that it is not an environment we feel comfortable in, thus we found a place to live on the edge of a small village away from civilization, in ecologicaly clean, sparsely populated area full of wildlife. We live in harmony with nature and we grow organic garden on a small scale.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our habitat is located in an area formerly inhabited by an ethnic group known as the Lemko people. As a side effect of the forced resettlement that took place after World War II, the area of Beskid Niski has become a unique place. Beskid Niski impresses with the biodiversity of its ecosystem, left without ingerence of human for a long time, as well as cultural mix created by the flow of newcomers and returnees to desolated villages.
  Our village lies in a secluded valley, on the trail of wooden architecture (mainly wooden orthodox churches).
  The region I have lived in for years I know very well and can offer recommendations for sightseeing and mountain hiking.
  I also have extensive knowledge and skills in a wide range of DIY and quite a lot of knowledge about plant cultivation.
  I am happy to share it all.

  Help

  The expected help from workawayers addresses to my pesonal needs related to farm, horticultural and agricultural tasks not directly connected with agri-tourism activities.
  Most of the help is seasonal and revolves about maintaining the land, some forest and running the crops. I also need help with a bit of renovation tasks and with minor building tasks.

  What else ...
