We have updated our website, https://agrowomen-edu.eu/, with new content. We aim to uplift voices and share the stories of passionate and talented women in agritourism, supporting digitalisation and business skills.

Get to know the stories of 6 amazing Polish women on how they participate in ecological change, sustainability and business ownership in rural areas:

1. Mrs. Daria Kosińska

Homemade cheese processing business

Daria Kosińska produces natural, handmade cheeses using only milk from a farm run entirely by her parents in the small village of Siedlnica, Poland. Her products are made with traditional, regional recipes, and her enterprise stands out even more for being the only place in Poland to produce burrata cheese.

2. Mrs. Małgorzata Pucer 

An innovative ecological education centre

Małgorzata Pucer and her husband are the founders of the Pasieka Pucer beekeeping farm and an innovative educational centre for kids and adults – “Pszczelandia”-located in the tiny village of Pastwiska, Poland. Its goal is to promote ecological values and environmental protection through innovative, sensory-based learning experiences.

3. Mrs. Ilona Michalak

Rural businesswoman reviving traditional cheesemaking

Ilona Michalak owns a small dairy business located in the tiny village of Kuchary Borowe, Poland, where she produces unpasteurized cheeses made from milk from her cows. All of the products offered in her Serownia are handcrafted using traditional family methods and locally sourced ingredients. She also manages marketing and directs the sales process by herself.

4. Mrs.Joanna Posoch

Cultivating sustainability in rural areas

5. Mr. and Mrs Ewa i Grzegorz Wróblewski

Turning waste into energy

Ewa and Grzegorz Wróblewscy built a biogas plant on their farm in Dąbrowskie. It utilises slurry to generate renewable energy, making their farm fully self-sufficient and energy-independent. The excess energy is sold to the national power grid (PGE).

6. Pani Elżbieta Warcholak 

Beekeeping business spreading knowledge regionally.

Elżbieta Warcholak, along with her husband, runs an ecological beekeeping farm in the Mielec region of Poland, and also founded the foundation “Popieram życie miodem słodzone” (“I support life sweetened with honey”). Their bees produce various products, which are processed and sold locally, thereby supporting the regional economy. The foundation focuses on educating the public about bees and promoting innovative beehive therapy, while also contributing to strengthening local community ties.
