Sauðburður langt kominn!
30.05.2018
Það skín sól í Hvalfirði núna og lífið leikur við menn og málleysingja! Það hefur verið blautt hjá okkur í vor, eins og hjá höfuðborgarbúum og tíðin hefur sett strik í reikninginn hvað varðar bústörf og sauðburð.
A lot of snow!
14.02.2018
The weather has been a little crazy the past few days or weeks! A lot of snow, and some snowstorms too, so it is better to be careful and read the weather news carefully - also look for the newest information on conditions on the roads.
Farm Visits in February

We have scheduled Farm visits in February the following days:
Sheep Herding!
03.10.2017
These autumn days, hard to describe unless you´re there. On a sheep farm everything is about sheep! But there is more to it. It is a special feeling preparing sheep herding and round-up, even though it is similar year after year.

Í vor eins og undanfarið munum við á Bjarteyjarsandi taka á móti skólabörnum í sveitina. Reyndar tökum við á móti skólahópum og öðrum gestum allt árið um kring og núna í mars munum við rýja kindurnar okkar og þá er vinsælt að koma í heimsókn í fjárhúsin, ekki síður en á vorin.

Farm Food Direct
11.10.2016
Autumn is here, sheep gathering´s finished and we´re starting the fire! Today we went with 300 delicious lamb sausages to our smokehouse and there they´ll stay the next few days. It smells a little bit like christmas, since the smoked meat is a part of Christmas in Iceland.
Hróar, our sheep herding dog
04.10.2016
This is our Border Collie dog, Hróar and a friend of us sent us this beautiful picture of him. Hróar is 8 years old and has lived at Bjarteyjarsandur Farm his whole life. He is one of the best sheep dog we´ve ever had, and besides that, he is a wonderful friend.
Northern lights!

Last few evenings have been marvellous here in Hvalfjordur, and the northern lights been dancing around the sky, colorful and breathtaking.
Sheep, sheep and sheep!
27.09.2016

Hvalfjörður Festival Coming up!

From a friend
17.07.2016
This pictue we received today from a friend from the Netherlands, staying at our campside. Like many of our guests, he went to an evening walk to the sea shore, and often our dogs (and even lambs, goose and goats) follow as well!
Hay making season
07.07.2016
Hey! It´s summer, it´s warm, it´s daylight 24 hours! This is Iceland. And we love it ;-) These days sheep farmers in Iceland are working on their hayfields. Cutting grass, drying it and baling it – maybe you´ve noticed the giant marshmallows all around?
Our little secret!
30.06.2016
This picture is taken from our rocky hot pot (we call it "The rock Pot") – a magical place by the sea shore. It is undescribable to go there in the calm summer night, enjoying the view and the evening stillness.
