Tour description and schedule
During this food tour, you’ll visit one of the ancient families in the Northern islands and try some of the classic delicacies passed on through generations. Honouring their predecessors, they continue a legacy passed through generations of farmers, who have experienced more than most. Once they were probably the wealthiest family and largest employer in the northern part of the archipelago. Twice the family was almost exterminated by avalanches, often referred to as some of the deadliest natural disasters in the history of the Faroe Islands.
The farmer will greet you in his humble sheep shed. Here you will be served traditional, Faroese appetizers from their farm, hear some stories about their family-oriented farming life and rich ancestral history, while first hand experiencing the life of a farmer in present day Faroe Islands.
If the weather allows for it, you will then do a historic walk to their family home in Klaksvík passing pastures, where their ancestors used to live once upon a time. Now these fields are preserved and only used for hay-making.
Arriving at the house, you’ll be offered to a traditional soup, a symbol of Faroese hospitality. It’s not just a meal; it’s a communion with the past and present, a feast that transcends time.
If you need hotel pick-up in Tórshavn, we can arrange that.
