This educational farm is located in the village of Jastrząb, among meadows and the meandering Warta, near the Porajski Zalew (with beach and marina) and the flagship attractions of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (including Sokole Góry, Olsztyn) and Częstochowa. Breeding of alpine goats and cheese production is our passion. We are happy to share our knowledge and experience with others.
We are positively crazy about local products, our animals, good food and showing where the best food comes from and how you can live comfortably and ecologically.
Our motto is "what you spend on healthy, good food you don't spend on medicine".
The farm has a little cheese factory and a small shop (cheese and goat's milk). The production and stages of cheese preparation can be viewed from behind the glass. The barn has a separate area for manually milking goats for visitors (always accompanied by the hosts), the opportunity to see the mechanical milking (milking parlor). We have a large terrace with tables and umbrellas, a room with multimedia equipment and space for small children to play and a licensed playground.
