Food Tour with Farmer

Discover the flavours of the Faroe Islands with a local farmer as your guide. First, you arrive on the beautiful island of Borðoy, where a Faroese farmer welcomes you to his family farm. Here, you take part in a traditional food tour that shares the culinary heritage of a farm that dates back several centuries.

During the experience, you taste simple and authentic Faroese delicacies. At the same time, your guide shares stories about generations of farmers who lived and worked on this land. Each dish reflects the resilience and traditions of Faroese farming families.

With its unique mix of local flavours and warm hospitality, this experience becomes truly memorable. Throughout the tour, your guide ensures that you feel welcome and comfortable. Because of this, many visitors describe the tour as a highlight of their trip to the Faroe Islands.

Next, you visit one of the historic farming families of the Northern Islands. Here, you sample classic Faroese specialities that families have passed down for generations. In addition, you learn about the remarkable history of the family and their farm.

The family once belonged to the wealthiest and most influential farming families in the northern part of the Faroe Islands. However, their history also includes dramatic events. Twice, devastating avalanches nearly wiped out the entire family. Today, these tragedies remain some of the most powerful natural disasters in Faroese history.

Afterwards, the farmer welcomes you inside a humble sheep shed. Here, you enjoy traditional Faroese appetizers from the farm. Meanwhile, your host shares stories about family life, farming traditions, and daily life in the Faroe Islands today.

Then, the experience continues with a short historical walk to the family home in Klaksvík. Along the way, you pass old pastures where the family’s ancestors once lived. Today, these fields remain preserved and farmers mainly use them for hay-making.

Finally, you arrive at the family home. Here, your host serves a traditional Faroese soup. In Faroese culture, this dish symbolizes hospitality and community. Because of this, the meal feels more than just food. Instead, it becomes a connection between past and present.

Before the tour, remember that Faroese weather changes quickly. Therefore, we recommend bringing waterproof clothing. The walk from the shed to the house takes about 15 minutes, and it will take place if the weather allows it.
