Efstidalur Farm

Efstidalur is a family farm located around 12 kilometres northeast of Laugarvatn and is a working dairy farm with excellent views of Mount Hekla. It has been run by the same family since the late 17th century and their main occupation has been cattle farming, horse breeding and tourism.

Recently, the farm was diversified to a visitor centre, a restaurant and a café which offers amazing ice-cream. The farm’s Barn Loft Restaurant, serves tasty meals from local ingredients, including beef from the farm and trout from the lake. The restaurant, along with their Cowshed Café is located in a renovated barn and features food products made on the farm from their own dairy herd. Local farm products are also for sale.
