Organic and Sustainable.
We have lived in Arnarnes since 1981 and started out with traditional farming, cows, sheep and horses. In 1995, we changed from traditional farming to organic production of milk and meat. That meant we didn’t use any chemicals or supplements for our cows. Instead of supplements we used healing e.g. in a few years we managed to become sustainable with happy cows. But this also meant that it became too difficult emotionally to make life and death decisions. So we stop farming and today we operate a tourism business with the protection of the environment as the guiding light. We love nature and the environment and wanted to return something good and have planted c.a. 10,000 trees around here.
Our guesthouse only uses clean cleaning products without any chemicals I have chosen to use from Youngliving, a leading lifestyle company. Shampoos and soaps in bathrooms are also provided by Youngliving. For many years, Eyglo has been teaching people about changing lifestyles, our vision of living being in line with Younglivng’s goals.
