Embracing Sustainable Heritage: A Week on a Homestead in Eastern Poland

The Homestead Horizon team recently spent a week on a family homestead nestled in the suburbs of eastern Poland. Contributor member Kaja guided us through her family’s smallhold, owned by successive generations and now maintained with full self-sufficiency. We arrived with notebooks and cameras and left with renewed respect for rural ingenuity and the restorative power of living close to the land. This article captures our experience, the lessons we learned and the recipes we savoured along the way.
