Bjarteyjarsandur Farm is northwest of Reykjavík in Hvalfjörður Iceland.  It is nestled on the north side of a mountainous fjord between acres of rolling hills and the mussel-filled coastline.

María Reynisdóttir Kynningarstjóri, the Communications Manager at Icelandic Farm Holidays, suggested Bjarteyjarsandur as the perfect place to learn more about Icelandic farm life and the field of farm-based education that is growing on this island country located a mere stone's throw from the Arctic circle.

Bjarteyjarsandur Farm is owned and operated by Arnheiður Hjörleifsdóttir and her husband Guðmundur Sigurjónsson and his parent’s Sigurjón and Kolbrún. The farm has  been in the family since 1887.
