  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We offer you to be a part of agriculture community and opportunity to experience Icelandic spring/summer in the rural fjords of the Westfjords.
  we are a big family with exemplary humor and kind moral. you can learn to help birth lambs and feed bottle lambs and take care of mama sheep. all of our sheep are free roaming during summer so you can come and help us drive them in to the fjord and enjoy while they walk away into the summer. you can experience boat trips through the islands and see a lot of bird species and their nesting grounds and as always some young once hatching. it is a calm and wonderful experience walking around the island collecting eider down and listen to the birds calling. most all of us at the farm speak good English but we can also help you learn Icelandic if you wish, you can experience real Icelandic food while you stay with us for example Bjúgu (smoked sausage) kjötfars (meat pudding) and of course the famous hot dog.
