Z miasta na wie\u015b” is about Moving to the Countryside\u00a0"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

You strip many people of their delusions about how it\u2019s great to leave the city, head to the country, and finally live \u2013 in harmony with nature, with yourself. It turns out it\u2019s no idyll. It takes hard work, plenty of knowledge, and consistency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, \u201cHe sold everything, quit his job, moved to the countryside\u201d \u2013 I still read reportage like that. I didn\u2019t give up everything and I think you shouldn\u2019t give up everything at once, but do it gradually and reasonably. You need to prepare for such a decision. Taking such an important step while ill-prepared often ends with a return to the city. This is seen in parts of the Masuria region [north of Warsaw], where after a wave of house buying came a flood of ads to sell them. Once, for a while, those moving to the countryside then lived there. Suddenly, though, it turned out they couldn\u2019t live there and couldn\u2019t cope with simple things like a clogged gutter. They just go limp and head back to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote the book, at least in part, to warn idealists who think there\u2019s some stress-free life in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that wasn\u2019t the only reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote it above all to recall those irrecoverable times we lived in not long ago, which lasted continuously until about the 1990s. By which I mean the countryside where animals, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees were next to every house. Now there are no beds, no rabbits, no chickens, and instead of fruit trees, thujas [white cedar as hedges] are planted and the grass is neatly mowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you wrote in part from longing for the good old days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in the country, in the mountains, where in the 1990s there were animals and a garden. I also wanted to show that living in the countryside, you can feed yourself. And to remind readers that food doesn\u2019t just come from the supermarket. Now, even rural kids think meat is simply bought at the store. They know nothing about the animal from which that meat comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People fled the village because they associated it only with hard work. They no longer wanted to get up at dawn to work the land and with the animals. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I come from the countryside, so I know. I remember times when the telephone was only at the post office and in the so\u0142tys<\/em>\u2019 house [mayor]. Now the city-village differential is smaller. After all, everyone has the internet, everyone can watch the same series on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote work has also reached the countryside and former farmers or their descendants work remotely \u2013 they don\u2019t have to go to the city, though they broke free of the village as I remember it. In short: they just live differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My moving to the countryside and my farm is also a choice motivated by the desire to live an ecological life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me about your ecological motivation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once, everyone engaged in cultivation for their own use took care that vegetables weren\u2019t sprayed with chemicals and that ducks, chickens, rabbits, and geese got healthy feed. The current large-scale concentration of agriculture has made it so when you drive through, for example, the \u017buromi\u0144ski district, you\u2019re passing poultry barn after poultry barn, pig farm after pig farm. All this is a powerful ecological bomb \u2013 it\u2019s generating gigantic amounts of waste that pollute the groundwater and air. And add to that the need to mass-produce feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small single-family farms at some point stopped being self-sufficient. It was really tough to live from them. You had to work hard and you couldn\u2019t support the family. Why do that when you can earn money in the city and buy food on the way at the store? In almost every larger village now there\u2019s a supermarket, where you buy even the parsley for broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You decided to have your own parsley, but also your own meat. Where\u2019s the consistency?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll start with the fact that people in the past didn\u2019t eat so much meat \u2013 only on special occasions, once a week. And it wasn\u2019t the unhealthy, processed meat that\u2019s drowning us now. I feel the human needs meat to live, but we should eat it much less and definitely not in the canned-food form, sausages, Vienna sausages. After moving to the countryside, I eat decidedly less meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it less?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t buy it in supermarkets because I have my rabbits, guinea fowl, turkeys, and geese. I get milk from neighbors who raise cows. I have a large piece of meadow, so I\u2019ll feed my animals with grass. I don\u2019t have ducks, because they mainly need grain and potatoes, which is more nutritious feed, like pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I go to the store, for example, because I don\u2019t have flour. But lard I already have from geese. Sometimes I buy rapeseed oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does your day in the country look?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting up before 6 am is no challenge for me, that\u2019s when I woke up in the city. It takes 45 minutes to feed and water animals. I eat breakfast and go to work, that is, to the office. I work until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. In the meantime, I go to the animals, see that they have everything, collect eggs in the chicken house, and walk the vegetable rows. After all, in corporate work, you go for lunch and coffee, too. I go to the meadow, to the poultry, and I scare off meadow mice that love my vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I once noticed a mural near Warszawa Wschodnia station [Warsaw East] that I liked: \u201cFrom the Milky Way\u2019s viewpoint, we\u2019re all from the countryside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
