Sheep farms dot the intricate and vast landscape of South Greenland, primarily in the northern fjords, but also to some extent in the mountainous Tasermiut Fjord, a southern fjord. In total, there are 37 sheep farms plus two reindeer herders and one dedicated cattle farm in our verdant south. From the air, their bright green cleared fields are the tell-tale sign of their locations and are a visual homage to the sheep farmers' incredible hard work and visionary spirit. To see a blank slate landscape and think this would be the perfect place to tend an Arctic farm in relative solitude takes imagination and willpower.
Sheep farmers are explorers by nature; they are open-minded, curious and engaging - about their environment and also about other people. About a quarter of the sheep farmers have guesthouses or hostels on their properties so adventurers with the same exploratory spirit can stay close to them and discover the South Greenlandic farm culture.
