“Happiness is not happiness without a goat playing music” – Marc Chagall, the patron of the bedroom in the Goat Attic, used to say. The painter was famous for including musical goats in his paintings. And although ours do not play the violin, in addition to milk for delicious cheeses, they bring a lot of happiness to me and people associated with the Farm. Maybe they will bring it to you too? In my case, it all started with one goat won in a bet. Today, 100 of them live in the settlement, and making cheese and other dairy products from their milk has become a way of life for me. Cheese from our cheese factory and bread from a wood-fired, fireclay oven have gained fame in the area, and I have become involved in promoting cheesemaking and goat farming in our region.
If you have seen everything but have not seen 100 happy goats living in a free range, guarded by giant dogs with hearts of doves, pack your bags as soon as possible. Kozłonoga is a place with a mission, passion and heart for people and animals. I will tell you all about the secrets of goat keeping, invite you to a shared breakfast and encourage you to observe the lives of these interesting animals. This will be a stay that you will remember for a long time.
I invite you to the Apartment on the first floor – Goat Attic with a view of the goats.
Goat Attic is the attic of our farm building, which also houses our farm shop. While staying here, you will be in touch with the farm, because the huge window allows you to observe the goat life during the day and at night. The space filled with goat accents and created with goat lovers in mind is a bedroom for 2 people, a common space with a kitchenette and a huge green, fold-out sofa and a bathroom.
In the bathroom, in addition to bird accents – a goat accent: goat soap from our farm. In the bedroom, quilts and pillows made of sheep wool (a product of the Świebodzice factory) and linen bedding with goat stamps (the work of our visual artist: milkmaid Edyta). Each element of the bedroom decor has its own story, e.g. a kneeler from the Krasków Palace – a gift from the neighbours, a suitcase from the pre-war period or a bedside table – a piece of furniture from a post-German apartment in Strzegom.
We offer breakfast based on products from the farm: goat dairy, bread from a wood-fired oven and products from friendly organic farms. Delivered in a basket in the morning or, for those willing, a shared breakfast at the Hostess's house. Breakfast at the Hostess's at 9:00, by prior arrangement.
On the farm there is a farm cheese dairy with an underground cheese maturation room and a wood-fired bakery.
The proximity of the farm ensures self-sufficiency not only for us, but also for visitors. You can stock up on goat cheese and goat dairy in our farm shop, as well as bread baked in a bread oven. The proximity of our vegetable garden will also provide us with fresh herbs, chives and other seasonal delicacies. We will also recommend several wonderful places where you can eat exceptional meals, going there on foot or by bike.
Here you can feel what it's like to live on a goat farm. Watch goats being milked, lie in the meadows by the old willows and oaks, visit the horses. A great joy is the opportunity to eat breakfast from the farm on the veranda!
In the season, you can take part in "green lessons" in the bosom of nature, in bread baking workshops, in ecological, herbal and cultural workshops. During the school year and during the holidays, our farm is happy to accept young people for volunteering called "A Week with a Rake", when young people can learn the values of grassroots work and relax after the hardships of learning at school surrounded by nature and animals. So it is possible that during your stay with us you will meet nice young people working on the farm.
The location in the vicinity of the Ślęża Mountain, beautiful landscapes of old villages, palaces, farm buildings, wilderness areas and historic towns such as Świdnica (10 km), Jawor (30 km), Wrocław (40 km), as well as the Sowy Mountains (20 km), provides great opportunities for relaxation, sightseeing, cycling and hiking.
What’s there for children?
The children will be able to enjoy the proximity of animals: goats, horses, dogs and cats in the bosom of nature, the possibility of walking around the area or collecting herbs with the Hostess. However, the area is full of various attractions for children, so you can freely look for them on small trips.
What’s there for employees?
The opportunity to work in peace, to gather your thoughts in quiet places on the farm, to be constantly inspired by nature and walks – these are our possibilities. The internet is worse, so we only invite you to workation if your work is of an analog nature.
