Descripción
I Jón live with my wife Elsa María. We have twins and two other daughters and two grandchildren, they do not live at home anymore but come to visit and help around when they can. We have around 50 cattle. 250 sheep, two dogs, a few hens and a cat.

Elsa María works off the farm in Ísafjörður as a special education director in kindergarten. She will be stsying at home this summer.

We live in the West-fjords of Iceland in a fjord named Dýrafjordur. It is 18 km to the next town and the weather is never the same.

You would have to be willing to work outdoors, mending fences, feed cattle help harvesting and other tasks that comes our way, sometimes even unusual hours.

We are also trying to fix a house that we have and would like to rent out in tourism

We are looking for someone that is willing to stay with us for at least 3 months. :)

Ayuda
In the winter the animals stay inside. We need someone that can help us with feeding and cleaning around the animals.

In the spring time the sheep have there lambs and they need to be fed, taken care of and helped if needed. when the snow melts, we start mending fences.

In the summer the sheep wander around the mountains with there lambs freely, but the cattle needs to be fed. Harvesting time starts.

In the autumn we need to get the sheep home from the mountains (which is a lot harder and more fun that it sounds). Feeding and taking care of sheep, and feeding cattle.

Be a friend :)

We need somebody that would stay 3 months or even longer with us and experience Icelandic farming, unik landscape and lifestyle.

She was always ready to help, jumped up if she knew Nonni was going to do something... even if she had no idea what it was or how it would end, She had NO experience with farming or animals when she came, but she was almost (might have taken a few times f. example stirring in the sheephouse ;) ) She… read more

It was my first Workaway experience and what can I say except an enormous thank you to Elsa and Nonni! They are the kindest people I’ve ever met. Funny, understanding, hard working… Nonni loves sharing his knowledge on animals and Iceland while Elsa is always a great person to talk to, and her cooking skills are no joke. I’ll dream of those fish… read more

Everthing you can read down in the feedback of others is true: Elsa is an icredibly good cook, the work with Nonni was quite fun (at least to me) and they have two lovely dogs. They try to help you whenever they can and make you feel home. The work was mostly outside and variable so that it never became boring (especially if you are trying to… read more
