There will be a varied selection from Skagafjörður's food box, such as hen eggs, honey, shark, herbs, pesto and freshly grown vegetables as well as all kinds of fish and meat to name a few. 

The farmers' market, which has been in Pakkhúsið in Hofsós this summer, will take place at the big gathering Sveitasælan in the riding hall Svaðastöðum in Skagafjörður from 10–17 on Saturday 18 August.  

The project is a pilot project run by Matís, in collaboration with farmers and producers in Skagafjörður. Sveitasælan is an agricultural exhibition and farmers 'festival, says Rakel Halldórsdóttir, a consultant at Matís who established the farmers' market this summer.

The program will be the most impressive and everyone should find something suitable. These include the zoo, the theater group Lotta, Gunna and Felix, the Puppy Squad, hot dogs, a shepherd dog show, a calf show, a ram show / ram show, and a machine and company show, not to mention the Farmers' Market which has attracted attention in many places.           

The restaurant will be run by the Kiwanis Club Freyja, but all proceeds will go to good causes in the local area.

Everyone is welcome and admission is free!
