School trip to Bread Cottage for students from SOS-W

On 7th November 2017 we went for a school trip to the Bread Cottage situated in Górki Wielkie. The Bread Cottage is an old wooden cottage in which you can see and feel how the life looked like in the past. There is a very nice kitchen with old furniture and traditional kitchen equipment. After a short presentation, we were asked to help a lady make a big loaf of bread and butter using traditional wooden tools. We had a fantastic lesson on apiculture/bee-keeping. We tasted the honey of the highest quality and the home-made cottage cheese . We were also shown very old agricultural equipment and machinery in a big shed.


Location: Górki Wielkie, Polska
