Skarby Natury – the Treasures of Nature – Oils from Zabłocie
Jolanta and Eligiusz Pecio have always had an oil press machine at home. In the past it had been used by their parents and grandparents. It was five years ago that they decided to share with other people the excellent, fresh, very healthy cold-pressed oils made of the grains from their own crops. This is how Skarby Natury (The Treasures of Nature) was born. Today they have over dozen oils in their offer (among them oils made of mustard seeds, nigella, pumpkin, silybum, rape, flax or oenothera), as well as milled flax seeds, grass pea and flours from ancient grains. Mrs. Jolanta also runs educational workshops for school and kindergarten children.
Sensual
Sensual is an artistic ceramics studio which designs unique vessels for everyday use, such as platters, bowls and plates, but also sculptures. Their works were presented, among others, at the International Biennale of Ceramics in Spain and Austria. The studio was established in 2007 and it is run by Katarzyna and Arek. Katarzyna completed graphic design studies with ceramics faculty and used to work at professor Adam Myjak’s workshop, at the Institute of Fine Arts in Lublin. She admires the Japanese art, a fascination which is well reflected in the Sensual projects. Arek is a real beauty amateur and he is responsible for the technical questions, both at the studio and in the boutique. Sensual collaborates with our restaurant, designing unique, custom-made vessels for our chef. Since this year they have also been running their boutique in Kazimierz Dolny in Lubelska 11 street, where they display their vessels.

Gospodarstwo sadownicze Lipnickich
The orchard is located very close to Nałęczów and it is full of picturesque trees, mostly apple, pear, sweet cheery and plum trees. The owners can boast large crops thanks to their hard work and the fertile loess soil of the Lubelskie region. Janusz and Aleksandra Lipnicki have been working for some 30 years together with prof. dr hab. Eberhard Makosz and with The Society for Promotion of Dwarf Fruit Orchards in Lublin. Thanks to their dedication the orchard, established in the 1970s, has become one of the leaders in the region as well as the entire country. Modern dwarf fruit species, intensive planting, rich crops and continuous trainings abroad in the new fruit farming methods, which are coming upon a favourable ground in Poland, have all contributed to the excellent results. And the modern storage method ULO ensures fresh fruits availability almost throughout the whole year. Today also the children of Mr. and Mrs. Lipnicki help running the orchard (pictured is Kamil Witkowski – the son in law of Mr. and Mrs. Lipnicki)
Ania Lipnicka-Niewiara
Ania Lipnicka-Niewiara graduated from the Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts, Faculty of Ceramics and Glass. Ceramic was supposed to be her hobby, one of the aspects of her artistic vision. It became however her way of life. During her studies she came to understand that honing her craft and knowledge of the materials are but one of the of artistic creation in clay. What equally important – the pottery must reflect personality and a conscious design, at the same time remaining open to artistic development and novel techniques. She emphasizes the importance of being engaged in work with each individual client. Her work in Denmark broadened her horizons and allowed her to find a personal, unique path. She founded the Ani Ani Studio in 2013. Ania specializes in ceramic mosaics, which can be a form of functional painting or artistic kitchen wares: an integrative canvas for the artisan chef. Every new project with Water & Wine is not only an adventure, but also a challenge, thanks to which she can develop her skills and grow as an artist.
