Family & Farm

Smáratún remains a functioning family operated farm and consists of 300 hectares of land. Produce such as potatoes, rhubarb and garden greens are cultivated but primarily cattle and sheep are our focus. Animal welfare is a priority and all our livestock enjoy a free range lifestyle. Our sheep are relocated to the highlands during the summer months to graze under the midnight sun.


Smáratún farm

Inspiring sustainable living


Family

Smáratún farm has been our home for the past three generations and we are opening our home to you. We would like you to come and experience the Icelandic countryside, the quietness, glaciers views, northern lights or the midnight sun alongside our family and friends.

Harvest

Farm to Table is important to us and much of what we produce is directly used for our guests in our onsite restaurant, The Barn. We grow potatoes, turnips, rhubarb, herbs and garden greens in our vegetables gardens. The beef, lamb and pork served is also reared on our farm.

Animals

During summer there are animals all around. We have sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, goats, Tumi the dog and Púki the cat. During lambing season (May) we offer our guests to join us to the sheep house.

Activities

During the summer months we offer horse riding though our pastures, tree planing to off set your carbon footprint and aid us in creating necessary wind breaks, strolls around the farm to see all the animals. We sell permits for seasonal hunting and fishing. And we can aid in the booking of ATV tours with the near by operator.



OUR PRODUCTS

Lamb & Beef

Free roaming – is what is so special about Icelandic meat. Our lambs are raised on grasses produced by the midnight sun and feast in the highlands all summer long. All the meat available on our restaurant menu is produced by our farm.



Breakfast

We still use grandma´s recipes for some of our breakfast delights – try our SKYR, jams, meat-toppings, breads, granola and much more on our breakfast buffet. All our guests are welcome to add breakfast to their booking on arrival.



Gift baskets

Not only do we supply our own restaurant with products from our farm but we also sell gift baskets full with gourmet from our kitchen or from the local area. An unique foodie souvenir from the Icelandic country side.



Souvenirs

Icelandic wool sweaters, socks, mittens and hats. Honey, chocolate, body scrub, and postcards are among the things that you can find in our hotel and all made locally or on our farm. A lovely gift for a friend back home – or to yourself!
