Description
Our home is a small family farm where volunteers become part of our daily life. We welcome people who enjoy nature, animals and working outdoors. Most stays are 7–10 days during spring and summer.
Volunteers usually help around 4–5 hours a day, 5 days a week, leaving plenty of time to relax or explore the surrounding area. Tasks vary depending on the season, weather and current projects.
We believe in working together, sharing meals and creating a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. We enjoy introducing our guests to Icelandic country life and, when possible, sharing activities such as walks or horseback riding. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enjoy sharing Icelandic family life with our guests. Workawayers are welcome to join us for home-cooked meals, spend time with our family, and experience everyday life on a small Icelandic farm. Depending on the season and weather, we may go horseback riding, walk with our dogs, or explore the beautiful countryside nearby.
We are happy to share our knowledge of gardening, caring for horses and other animals, simple DIY projects, and making homemade pesto and jams. If you are interested, we are always happy to explain how we live and work on our farm.
Hosting people from different countries is a wonderful opportunity for us to learn about other cultures, traditions, languages, and ways of life. We enjoy exchanging ideas and experiences and hope every guest leaves with great memories of Iceland while we learn something new from them as well. -

Can host digital nomads
We have reliable Wi-Fi, and remote work may be possible alongside your stay. However, we expect volunteers to be available during the agreed helping hours. If you are a digital nomad, please let us know in advance so we can make sure the schedule works well for both of us. Good communication and flexibility are important to us.
