The last years Gróandi has been expanding their focus outwards by developing permaculture teaching materials.

For 10 years Community Supported Agriculture was also a part of Gróandi’s activities, where Góandi produced abundance of vegetables, berries and herbs for the inhabitants of Ísafjörður, within a gift economy system. Through the years Hildur Dagbjört tested and tried growing methods for cold climate with short growing season, and has proven that it is surely possible to grow a big variety of foods up in the northwest of Iceland.
