Beschreibung
(minimum stay two months)

We are a family of 6, but we are only 2 living here at home, Gestur (60) and Jóna (61).
This is a dairy farm (with a robotic milker) , located in the north west and is about 50 km from Sauðárkrókur. We have two very friendly shepherd dogs. Our farm is mostly based on the dairy farm which has around 60 milking cows but we also have 200 sheep that need tending, specially in the spring during lamb season.

We offer free accommodation and pay standard wages for all hours worked.

We also need help with the typical summer tasks, like hey making and repairing fences.
We need a help in May-June in particular because of lamb season. Summer is much more busy than wintertime.

I stayed with Gestur and Jona for 10 weeks this summer. They are very friendly, welcoming and generous hosts.
They are very patient with teaching the tasks you are assigned with, i loved the work with the cows and sheep.
I was on the farm together with another couple, we quickly became friends and could enjoy our meals and quite a lot of free time… read more

This summer I spent 3 months at this farm. I loved being there! The surrounding landscape is very beautiful. I liked the work. In example some tasks were feeding the young cows, herding the cows, repairing fences, heying, fixing a roof, painting walls… And I was there when they took the sheep from the mountains which was interesting.

I was lucky… read more

We spent 2.5 great weeks with Gestur and Jona on the farm. Feeding the bulls, working with cows, friendly and patient Gestur and Jona who replaced our parents for a while, together with ubiquitous playful dogs and beautiful surroundings made our trip unforgettable, with the only imperfection of being too short :)

Besides working in the cowhouse,… read more

I was only able to stay for about two weeks at this incredible farm, and I wish I would have stayed longer! Jónína and Gestur are amazing hosts, and very hospitable! I had a great experience learning so many different things on the farm, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else!

Thanks for everything and I hope to see you again!

We spent 2 and a half weeks in Jona and Gestur's farm for our first Workaway experience and we don't regret it ! The working days were interspersed with many breaks, and the work requested was tough at first, but reasonable and varied (tractor driving, feeding the calves, bottle-feeding a lamb, putting the cows to the milking robot, putting the… read more

Amalie was there in March this year. Very active and productive and at the same time a warm and merry person. She did all that was asked of her and we would have liked to have her around for much longer :) We wish her all the best, we are sure she will be a good veterinarian.

Alec was with us for two months this summer. Alec is a nice lad, always in a good mood and smiling. His tractor driving skills were good and he really cared for our cows. Food is a passion for Alec and he always has room for a little more 　 Really good fun to have around and a good lad.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Leopold)

Leopold stayed at our farm for a month, in July 2016. It was a real pleasure to have him here, he is dutiful, ambitious and performs his tasks quite well. He was quick to learn new things and we quickly trusted him to take responsibility around the farm. We consider us lucky to have hosted Leopold at our farm.
