The Sandomierz region is one of Poland’s biggest producers and exporters of Polish apples, mainly to Eastern European markets.

Biggest impact on the success of these gardens and orchards was our special micro-climate at the border between the highlands and the Sandomierz valley. This region have been taking advantage of the biggest value of this region – fertile soil - which, combined with the micro-climate, allowed them to cultivate their gardens and orchards which serve as the foundations for the local social and economic life.
