“Permakultura Skolity” – permaculture in Świątki

Do you know what the word permaculture means? The simplest definition is to be inspired by nature and to respect the principles that have long existed in it.  Permaculture is becoming increasingly popular because it shows that harmony between human activity and the environment can be achieved. The first such large permaculture garden in Warmia was created in Skolity, where the hosts emphasize the importance of taking care of the Earth, taking care of people and sharing what they cultivate. And they grow organic vegetables, flowers and herbs.

Their aim is to create the Warmian Organic Food Centre, which they are working on persistently.  Apart from fresh and healthy vegetables, Kamila and Robert, owners of Permakultura Skolity, share their knowledge during workshops to build and design stationary and mobile permaculture gardens.

Kwaśne Jabłko (A sour apple) in Włodowo

In the Pasłęka valley, away from roads and buildings, there is an eco-habitat Kwaśne Jabłko. What is waiting for you here? Blissful silence, meadows, fields, forests and famous ciders of own production. From different kinds of apples, with an emphasis on these local varieties, ciders are made in a small cider manufactory, and they are awarded prizes not only in Poland. Ciders from Kwaśne Jabłko were among the winners of the British Cider Championship in 2015 in the category of the best non-British ciders in the world.

The taste of ciders ripened for a long time in oak barrels is one of many topics that can be discussed with owners, who can talk about cider for hours. But ciders are not the only reason to visit Kwaśne Jabłko. Worth mentioning are also local products, home-made bread, fluffy yeast cake, vegan cakes and the famous pizza, served every Sunday.
