Art, Farming, and the Pursuit of Self-Sufficiency (Documentary, ENG subs) 

Polish artist Adam Kołakowski runs a seven-hectare agro-tourism farm in Opinogóra Górna, where he paints, sculpts and illustrates. He also makes his own beer, wine and cider. Set in an exceptionally preserved forest landscape, Adam's parents bought the land in the 1970s during an economic depression and built everything from scratch. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Adam, together with his wife and son, continue to develop the farm with particular emphasis on self-sufficiency, sustainable development and the cultivation of healthy food without the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical sprays. Now surrounded by large industrial farms, Adam sees his farm as an essential sanctuary for animals that have been forced out of their homes. An even more unique aspect of the farm is that most of the work is done by volunteers from all over the world. They also take part in various art workshops that Adam conducts. As Adam says: "I invest in the farm with the income from my art, and in return the farm gives me the opportunity to commune with nature, inspiration and healthy food so that I can continue to do art."
