Tomato Heaven at Friðheimar Farm
Friðheimar is a family business run by Knútur and Helena,who grow tomatoes all year round under artificial lighting in greenhouses despite the long and dark winter.
Enjoy a unique food experience in their restaurant, where the tomatoes grow all around! Tomato soup and freshly baked bread, along with other delicacies, in a pleasant environment next to the plants. Visitors are shown how the tomatoes are grown, and then they sit down next to the tomato plants and enjoy an excellent menu based on tomatoes.
Guests can take home delicious food souvenirs made from tomatoes and cucumbers. The Friðheimar family also breed horses, put on a horse show, and offer visits to the stable for pre-booked groups.
Friðheimar sets a good example for colleagues within the tourism industry by taking responsibility and promoting sustainable business practices, as supported by the Icelandic Tourism Cluster and FESTA (Center for Corporate Social Responsibility).
