I lived in Europe for almost eight years. I really like much about the lifestyle there…. and I have family in Eastern Europe and knew many people who’d escaped from there in the 60′s and 70′s. I think it’s fair to say I have a romantic attachment to Europe.
When I came upon this post from a lady in Poland who is starting what she calls an eco-farm in the ‘Green Lungs’ of Poland (a remote rural area full of trees), well…. it seems to me it is worth sharing. It seems it might be a good opportunity for someone with the gumption to leave anywhere and go to Poland for a few months and work on the farm for food and lodging. So I reprint the original post, so if anyone is interested, they may contact her. She also needs a reliable trusty farm manager with the same values as her, someone who can manage the farm properly while she is gone travelling.. managing the crops, and tending the animals.
“Hello Nature Lovers!
I have just started clearing my little forest of about 1 ha in the North Eastern part of Poland where I would like to create a kind of beautiful and useful paradise park with flowers, nuts, berries, mushrooms – all these goods for people wanting to spend here their vacation at my Ranch during spring, summer or in the autumn.
The landscape around is amazing and the nature really pure and abundant in wild animals, especially wild birds. You can easily see here wild animals like boars, roes, foxes, hares, hawks and many many rare wild birds.
If someone would like to join me helping in anyway, from now or later in the spring/summer months, I would be really happy… as I am really looking for people who would like to participate, hopefully also in a long-term way.
Any kind of contribution would be appreciated, as the ideas are many and the place offers lots of possibilities: first of all clearing and making spacey and beautiful Paradise Park full of berries and other goods, then in spring sowing vegetables in a big organic garden, in summer some garden work and renovating the farm house and other farm buildings, organising interesting workshops and trips… and what else we can imagine! Maybe permanent ecovillage???

At the moment I live here in a farm house, where I can host CouchSurfers or volunteers and provide food for them.
I hope to hear from someone soon! Especially from creative and interesting people
Love and life,
Isabelle
