Tomaszyn 

Tomaszyn is a small village located in Warmia and Mazury. It consists of ten households and a cooperative. The region is classified as the Green Lungs of Poland and has the lowest population density in the country. There are eight landscape parks in the voivodeship, which shelter natural phenomena on a European scale. It is said to be the Land of a Thousand Lakes. While creating Ostoja Natury, we were inspired by nature’s already existing solutions. Just as in a prehistoric forest – the circuit is everything, waste is non-existent. Our goal is to create an ecosystem designed to provide economic efficiency with minimal influence on the environment. Methods tested over the ages, such as crop rotation, raised seedbeds, home recipes, and many more, are refreshed and implemented, using technological innovations of modern times..

Lighthouse in agriculture and food

Ostoja Natury in Tomaszyn strives to achieve the highest degree of circular economy, especially in the areas of regenerative agriculture, production including mechanisation and digitalisation, economy maximising the profitability of organic production, housing through waste free, self-sufficient habitat and power industry (biogas plants and other systems with the highest energy efficiency and lowest possible environmental burden). Regenerative agriculture aims at topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting bio-preservation, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil. To further reverse the trend of Tomaszyn community degradation they are planning to establish earthship village, that can provide an opportunity to create sustainable, affordable, and resilient community that prioritize environmental stewardship and community building.
