About This Resource
Agritourism in Poland: an overview
Poland has one of the most developed agritourism sectors in Central Europe. Registered holdings — known as gospodarstwa agroturystyczne — can be found in nearly every rural voivodeship, from the flatlands of Mazovia to the forested hills of Podkarpacie.
The offer ranges from simple room rentals on working farms to full-service rural retreats with horse riding, beekeeping workshops, fruit picking and guided nature walks. Stays are generally booked directly through farm owners, with pricing significantly lower than comparable hotel accommodation.
This site compiles practical, region-specific information drawn from publicly available sources including the Polish Tourism Organisation, regional agritourism associations and the national certification system maintained by the Polish Federation of Rural Tourism.
Regions
Key agritourism regions
Different regions of Poland offer distinctly different farm stay experiences, shaped by landscape, climate and local agricultural traditions.

Water-based stays near the Masurian lake district. Many farms offer kayaking, fishing and sailing alongside agricultural activities. Season: May–September.
Bieszczady (Podkarpacie)
Remote highland homesteads. Known for sheep farming, wild mushroom foraging and proximity to the Bieszczady National Park. Year-round access possible.
Podlasie
Flat, forested region near Belarus. Biebrzański National Park sits at its centre. Farm stays here often focus on birdwatching, horse riding and traditional beekeeping.
Małopolska
Covers the Kraków area south to the Tatra mountains. A wide range of holdings — from orchard farms near Nowy Sącz to mountain pasture farms above Zakopane.
Wielkopolska
Central Poland's agricultural heartland. Large cereal and livestock farms open to visitors during harvest periods. Good access from Poznań.
Pomerania (Pomorze)
