Day 1
Arrival at Ytra Lón, your studio is available from 4 pm. Get yourself settled and enjoy dinner in Ytra Lóns restaurant. Choose our lamb or fresh trout from our lake.
Day 2
After a nutritious breakfast, a family member will escort you to the stables where lambing is in full swing. Mornings are usually busy on the farm so you’re introduced to the staff and are welcome to follow along and watch what is being done. Depending on how many ewes are having their lambs or how busy the night shift has been. Someone will explain to you what is going on and why and how things operate at this busiest time of the year.
Sheep are fed, lambs are born, lambs are tagged, ewe and their lamb are moved out. Maybe you can even see the dogs at work.
Around 12 pm we take a break and you can eat your own lunch in the comfort of your studio.
After lunch, it’s time to move ewe with two days old lamb to a communal space. Follow along while this is done and even help out a bit.
Around 4 pm it’s time to prepare dinner, together with one of your hosts you will prepare a traditional Icelandic meal with products of the farm. How grateful the hard-working farmers will be to have dinner with you and taste the meal you just prepared.
Day 3
You have another delicious breakfast, just swing by in the stables to say goodbye to all lambs and their moms and you’re on your way to your next adventure.
Or you decide to book a few more nights at the farm to explore its environment. Plenty to see for a couple more day tours around Langanes peninsula.
