That’s a wrap! Thanks for tuning in for the final episode, Episode 8, of my first documentary series, People of the Faroe Islands! I really appreciate everybody watching this series and hope to continue my work documenting rural life and communities 🤗 This project has been a huge labour of love, if you’d like to support me in creating more projects like this, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/amyjrobinson You can check out more information about this project over on my website www.amyjrobinson.com/people-of-the-faroe-islands
It's been such a good series and really beautifully shot and edited! I've loved watching them all and its really made me want to visit the Faroe Islands :)
I'm wondering if there is any way to purchase and ship fulmar from Faroe to US. I would very much like to try this bird, if it is meaning I need to come to Faroes to taste than that is what I will have to do, but it would be very interesting to be able to have it at home and try with family. If anyone is knowledgeable about this please let me know, thank you.
Nothing that I know of, it might require a trip! It is very seasonal so only available end of August and September - just in case you make a trip! You can also try the eggs in May which is covered in Episode 1 of this series :-) Thanks for watching!
That is factually correct, they also hunt an array of different fish, crustaceans, sea urchin, other molluscs, and dolphin. They also have domesticated sheep and there are a small amount of cows on the islands. Many families have geese and chickens, and there’s a smaller capability for locals to grow hardy vegetables such as carrot, onion, leek, parsnip and potatoes. Fields that are accessible grow grass to harvest for the winter times as they can be particularly harsh, and the sheep need more food to help them through the cold months. Most of their other food has to be imported via ship from Denmark. There isn’t a huge capacity for crop across the islands as the weather and land conditions cannot support it, and imported foods can be very expensive - pretty impressive that they are so self-sustainable, though it can be a shock to people outside of the islands where food is easier and cheaper to come by 😊
different Cultures in different Countries, every one has it´s own culture and tradtion. Don´t worry about it. That´s the circle of life on our big different and wonderful world. I love the faroe islands ... i´ll be there soon... . Beautiful contenet Amy. Thumbs up
