Joanna and Leszek Frankiewicz started their journey together many years ago in Gdynia. Leszek, working in large IT corporations - IBM, Prokom, BMC Software, earned a lot, but at the same time he was a guest at home. They both quickly realized that both parents were needed to raise two children in a meaningful way. Joanna was the first to quit her full-time job, then Leszek. They decided to make their dream come true - a guesthouse in Zakopane. In 2006, they built a small settlement of five luxurious houses and named it Tajgółka. After a dozen or so years of running this business, they realized that the world had changed drastically. The specter of the financial, fuel, humanitarian and climate crisis pushed them to look for something that would give them greater security and ensure a stable future for their children. And that's how they found PERMACULTURE. In 2017, they sold their business in Zakopane and bought a 1.5-hectare farm in the Beskid Mountains.
Once again they had to change their professions.
Leszek became a farm designer and Joanna became a therapist and Vedic Art teacher. They created an extraordinary place where water is the central element of the ecosystem. On an area of ​​1.5 hectares, they have seven ponds full of fish, contour ditches, wells, drainage ditches, all to protect themselves against droughts. Such an investment in water means that their farm literally explodes with hundreds of species of fauna and flora. Today, they are not afraid of drought, and self-sufficiency is just around the corner.
Following what was in their hearts - Nature and living in harmony with it, they discovered that the central issue of permaculture is Caring for People. As defined by its creator - Bill Mollison. The activities they conduct now - building communities, therapies, Vedic Art - are their interpretation of this principle, and everything they do is done with deep respect for the principles of permaculture, formulated by Bill Mollison.
Together they conduct permaculture training and Leszek carries out permaculture projects:
