Świętokrzyski Park Narodowy is close to my place (~150 km).

And where is that?

Is that second picture your land?   It certainly looks beautiful!

Thanks. I like the place a lot Yet it's not all mine. I got almost 7 acres, most of it pasture and a small birch forest on the side.

Hello Permies!

I've been meaning to register for few years... read quite a bit here and there, got so many unanswered questions...
Hope to get some help here, and provide some, especially for those who have donkeys. Winter's coming and nobody likes a cold a$$ ;)

Peter, 31 yrs old. Cycling is my biggest passion (travelling, ultramarathons), interested in permaculture for few years.

Me and my wife, just finished our 2 years voyage. For the last 2.5months we were walking home for 1 000kms with three of our donkeys. Just settled down for good in Poland. Now we have 8 donkeys, 3 cats, in spring plan to get a dog, some chickens, pigs, maybe a goat, hopefully a cow in the future.




Starting my small (I'll see about that) garden, orchard, just finished building a yurt for guests. Could use some general advice for the design.

I live in a 80 years old wooden house that was built by my grandma. Last house in the village, next to the Świętokrzyski (must be funny for y'all to read that) National Park in the oldest (and smallest) polish mountains. It's rather peaceful around here. There was a car passing on the road few days ago though.



If you're ever around, feel invited to visit, or stay with us as a volunteer. We like having guests around.

Its been a while, what did you do Tristen?

Got a dog and donkeys story myself.

I got some donkeys for few months now. Me and  my wife, we walked form France to Poland with our first three donkeys.
Few weeks after our arrival, one night we got woken up by their braying for help (they never make noise without a reason...). We went outside, and there was a dog madly attacking them. Tried to scare him, kill him, but he was too fast. Donkeys were mostly running away, sometimes one of them was trying to attack. After some 45 minutes the dog finally ran away.
Donkeys were on pretty small field, rather close to the only street lamp. Heard they have bad eye accommodation, grass was very high, they didn't know the place that much... that's what I blame for what happened cause...
One month later I brought the rest of the herd (they knew each other), so now there's 8 of them (geldings only).
Just yesterday I've seen three medium/big sized dogs running towards them. Donkeys organized themselves, stood in line and started braying all at once. Dogs ran away just hearing that, even before donkeys actually attacked them what happened 10 seconds later.

I think they can handle the dog situation now, though remembering first situation, I'm still a bit scared of a very aggressive dog, or a pack of them...
