— Our story —

The dream had to wait

Hi, we are a couple from Belarus. Siarhei and Natasha. We live in Poland because we cannot return to our native Belarus due to political persecution. We once had plans and dreams too — for example, to create our own eco-village, a place where people could rest from the noise and rush of the city. Today, we are bringing that lost dream to life in Podlasie.

In February 2026, we found this beautiful, slightly abandoned farmstead — and immediately fell in love with the place. We joke that there is a magnet hidden here, because we are always drawn back. Now we are building that very eco-village here — a piece of our homeland with its own special vibe.

— What is MROJA —

A place where you feel you belong from the moment you arrive

We are building an eco-village where you can come, rest, live closer to the land, and feel at home. Soon there will be glamping cabins, saunas, and a chicken coop. You will be able to care for chickens, grow your own garden bed, and plant a tree.

For now, the farmstead is only being born. Help with hands-on work is always needed here, and there is always someone to meet, work with, and immediately see the result of your contribution.

It is a way to restore yourself by reviving a home that no one gives a chance. It is therapy through speaking with your own people about what is yours. Here, you do not need to explain anything. MROJA is a place where you are understood.

— Farmstead legend —

The house burned down completely in a fire

People who once lived here or are connected with this place have already started writing to us. That is how we learned that there used to be two farmsteads here, where the families of two brothers lived.

One day lightning struck the house of one of the brothers. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the house burned down completely. Then local people gathered together and quickly built a new house.

Our dream is to restore the farmstead together again: with Belarusians, Poles, and everyone who wants to join

What has been done and what is needed next

We have already done a lot with our own hands. But the further we move, the clearer it becomes: for MROJA to become a place for people, we need support.
