Heimablídni
Heimablídni offers an authentic glimpse into the food that comes from a traditional farm in the Faroe Islands. Hosts Anna and Óli warmly welcome visitors to their working farm in Velbastaður on Streymoy Island for dinner. Anna, born in 1961, grew up on this very farm, whilst Óli, born in 1958, hails from Tórshavn also on Streymoy Island. Together, they represent the ninth generation to hold the farm on copyhold tenure, having taken over operations on 1st January 1995 when Anna's father could no longer manage.
The farm encompasses 6 merkur—an ancient Faroese land measurement, with approximately 2,400 merkur comprising the entire Faroe Islands. Their holding includes infields within the old village walls, now cultivated for hay production, and outfields in the mountain pastures beyond. The farm's outfields lie north of the village in Lambhagi, meaning 'Lamb outfield', where 150 sheep graze throughout the season.
Beyond the sheep, the farm teems with life—dogs, hens, geese, cats, and horses create a vibrant, working farm atmosphere. Guests experience genuine agriculture, where centuries-old farming practices continue to thrive in the stunning island landscape. This is a living cultural activity in the Faroe Islands where you get to taste the farm's produce for an evening. While the couple do love being outdoor in the Faroe Islands, this experience takes place indoor throughout close to another exciting yet very different activity, a yoga class session.

Excellent dinner! We were at home and so much welcome, not only as guests but also as members of the family. The food was so authentic, with many local stories about the host’s family. The BBQ was outstanding with such a great view of the shore. This experience was UNIQUE. I do recommend it.

The Supper Club evening at Anna and Olis‘ place was great. The meal was very delicious. We talked a lot with Oli; he is really an interesting man and a very good entertainer. The kids had fun with the animals.

Wonderful Evening with Anna and Oli
What a phenomenal night! Everything about this experience was perfection. Anna and Oli welcomed us to their home with such hospitality and led us to their dining room with huge picture windows overlooking a beautiful sea view. From there, the night was off to a bang — a homemade aperitif made from rhubarb, snuggles with their newest sheep dog (still a glorious puppy), and then dish after dish of fine farm-to-table Faroese delicacies (unbelievably delicious) paired with Faroese beers of all sorts. Anna and Oli were so kind to tell us all about their life and the special events of raising sheep (there are annual sheep beauty contests!). We felt quite lucky to be joined at the table with curious and fun travelers from the U.S. and Spain. My sister and I left smiling from ear to ear and will remember that special night as emblematic of the kind, authentic, extraordinary Faroese people.

We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Onnu and Olá. They are a lovely couple who made us feel so welcome! This diner experience, bringing people together by traditional Faroe cooking and sharing their way of living is so special. We absolutely loved it! If you visit Faroe, visit Onnu and Olá. Thank you so much! Tusind Tak!!

Thank you for inviting us into your home for a wonderful evening of food, drink and camaraderie. Onnu and Ola were delightful hosts. The conversations with an eclectic group of travelers from all corners of the world were enjoyable and stimulating.

This was such a great experience. Anna, Óli, and their family members were very welcoming and top notch hosts. Their son in law was very kind and answered some general questions about the Faroe Islands we had. Every course of the meal was delicious and it was so fun to meet other travelers and hear about their lives. They also have the best view ever!
Andre Jacques –
An absolutely amazing dining experience whilst on the Faroe Islands. Incredible hosts and a very memorable evening. Would highly recommend and book early to avoid disappointment.
Alison Neville –
We had a wonderful time. Anna and Oli were perfect hosts. The food was absolutely delicious and we made new friends from all over Europe.
Adrian Cross –
I was absolutely delighted we found this experience. The food drink and welcome were absolutely fabulous. I could safely say that the roast lamb was the best I have ever tasted. We took a taxi from Torshavn and that was a great decision because the drink was plentiful. Thank you so much to the whole family
Phil Pyle –
Outstanding dinner – a true highlight of our trip. Ola and Anna are wonderful cooks and hosts. The meal was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Each course was from their farm – fresh, traditional and paired with a Faroese beer.
We dined with 13 other guests who were all enjoyable in conversation. We especially enjoyed talking with our Australian and Ukrainian guests!
Lastly, the views from our table overlooking the water and other islands was otherworldly – I took so many photos of food and views.
Highly recommended!!!
Enestående middag – et sant høydepunkt på turen. Ola og Anna er fantastiske kokker og verter. Måltidet var deilig og omtenksomt tilberedt. Hvert kurs var fra gården deres – ferskt, tradisjonelt og sammen med en færøysk øl.
Vi spiste middag med 13 andre gjester som alle var hyggelige i samtalen. Vi likte spesielt å snakke med våre australske og ukrainske gjester!
Til slutt, utsikten fra bordet vårt med utsikt over vannet og andre øyer var utenomjordisk – jeg tok så mange bilder av mat og utsikt.
Sterkt anbefalt!!!
Tad Gladczenko –
Fantastisk gjestfrihet å kunne komme hjem til dere og få servert en fireretters meny bestående av ekte færøyske råvarer. Hyggelig å møte forskjellige nasjonaliteter og høre gode historier ved bordet. En virkelig flott avslutning på vår ferie. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Es war bei unserem Besuch ein sehr schöner Abend, mit spannenden Gästen und sehr leckerem Essen. Die gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und es ist ein Abend der in Erinnerung bleibt.
Danke dafür.
Eine Kleinigkeit: Aufgrund der vielen Menschen war es sehr laut gewesen. Für Leute mit Hörgeräte kann es vielleicht etwas schwierig sein.
