Opening Day 2025

Opening Day in Markerville is always a lively event, and Saturday, May 17th, 2025 was no exception!
The day began at Fensala Hall for Pancake Breakfast with staff and volunteers ready to greet the many visitors that began showing up at 9 am. With sausages, ham, scrambled eggs, watermelon; and pancakes with syrop, berries and whipped topping, there were tasty offerings – including gluten free options – to please everyone.

As breakfast was winding down, staff were already finishing preparations for the Kaffistofa and Creamery Museum opening at 11 am and ready to serve up some ice cream this long weekend!

Icelandic Baking Day

Icelandic Ladies Aid, better known as Vonin, recently met at Fensala Hall to practice traditional Icelandic baking. This spring’s gathering saw a wonderful turnout, with 22 people in total! We were delighted to welcome summer staff from the Creamery Museum and the Stephansson House, as well as some lovely friends from the community who came to learn and lend a hand.

Everyone found a job, and together we made many batches of delicious flatbread and pönnukökur. These will be featured on the menu at the Creamery Kaffistofa this summer, so be sure to try them! Last week, Vonin members made vinarterta, which can be enjoyed when you come for coffee in Markerville.

It was a productive and enjoyable time together.
