Iceland grows fresh vegetables all year round using geothermal energy, and Friðheimar is where you see it in action. A private presentation explains how volcanic heat powers the greenhouses, and then you sit down to lunch surrounded by tomato plants, eating produce that was picked moments ago. The food is simple, fresh, and completely delicious. It is a surprisingly fascinating stop that connects Iceland’s volcanic landscape to the plate in front of you.
