We are located in the north of Iceland, in the valley of Icelandic saga.
We are looking for open minded, responsible and self initiated people who are not afraid to try new things and can handle it to get in contact with cows and there surroundings. You should be well conditioned due to the fact that farmwork can require that.
The creamery will give you a good insight into how we make the traditional Icelandic skyr as well as Ice cream.
