Grapevine Day Out: A Sheep Farm In Lambing Season

We spent a day in south Iceland with Pálína Axelsdóttir Njarðvík. She showed us around her family’s sheep farm at the peak of lambing season, and we were lucky enough to witness the birth of a lamb!

Pálína opened up about the highs and lows of agricultural life in the Icelandic countryside, experiences which she also shares on her popular Instagram account @farmlifeiceland.
