Vom Workawayer (Oscar) für Host
I got to the farm on a Sunday: it was sunny out but cold, too. Arriving to the farm by van, I was struck by the mountains and their white snow peaks and the absurd beauty of the tarmac road unfurling through the lime valley. In fact, this visual contrast - the manmade road lying amidst Iceland's sublime nature - is probably an apt visual metaphor
… read more for the farm itself. Coming from London, what struck me most was the blend of organic harmony and human ingenuity; the crops, the livestock, the house itself blends natural, locally sourced components with profound innovation and craftsmanship. It reminded me of the concept of ecological utopia, for those familiar. As a volunteer, I was asked to help paint and provide manual labour where and when it was needed. I cut grass, taped windows and provided a helping hand whenever my shamefully limited skillset was required. The hosts never demanded more of me than I could feasibly handle, they fed me well with local produce and fresh lettuce, invited myself and the other volunteers to family birthdays and barbecues and took us around the fire singing. Entering a new environment can be challenging and scary at times, but oh my goodness am I grateful that I took a chance on this farm, and, more astonishingly, that they took a chance on me.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Henryk & Fedra)
Henryk and Fedra are an amazing couple who made our summer 2024 a very memorable one! They came twice to our farm (traveling around Iceland in between both stays) and they helped us with diverse tasks around the farm. Their determination to help out and work hard was admirable and their energy was always positive towards their environment. They

Our 2yr old son still asks about them and their big truck, as he became really fond of them also. Either we meet again in Iceland or abroad, I'm sure we will have a good time once again. We cherish their friendship! Highly recommend hosting this beautiful couple if you're open minded and determined in your projects.

In the organic farm family & friends community we had a marvelous stay. We became so lovely part of everything and everybody and are happy we were able to help in all the meaningful and sustainable projects and building up work in this beautiful Icelandic farm and nature (e.g. planting of 2.000 trees that will consume in a few years appr. 30t CO2
… read more per year) . The organic food that we had was amazing and very delicious. There is a wonderful passion in everything and we learned a lot about organic farming, and the Icelandic being and live. Thanks a lot for this marvelous time we were able to spent together with all of you and we are very looking forward to see you again!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
