Description
Greetings! We are three families regenerating a farm with the aim of achieving food sovereignty in Iceland. We were motivated to leave our city life behind and focus on regeneration of the Earth and aiming for promoting sustainability on our community. So here we are, three years later, making our dreams a reality in our farm paradise in the beautiful Svarfaðardalur valley in the North of Iceland. We have beautiful mountains surrounding our farm which are perfect for hiking. We also have a river border which is a calming asset when working out in the field. At the moment, we are only 2 of the 3 families living in the farm, and we are all eager to have you for the time being! *Important note: We have a vegetable-growing business going on, but workawayers won't be helping with any tasks relating to the business.*

We will provide a private room with a single bed and window. The room is conveniently located close to the bathroom, kitchen and living room. Food dynamic will work differently for each meal: Breakfast items will be served at the table for everyone to help themselves. Warm lunch will be prepared by some member of the house and warm dinner as well.
What else ...
With the experience we have had so far hosting volunteers, it has always been a clear and straightforward dynamic with very little space for misunderstandings. Our volunteers enjoy of the perks of enjoying horseback riding, going to the local hot pools, or visiting art exhibitions in the local Culture House or art spaces in the region. We have a car available for local transport which we borrow to volunteers with driver's license and experience driving manual car.
