The Vinland Saga and Erik the Red is an interesting tale. And yes, you could farm on the coast of Greenland at some point. Which is where it got the name from. They discovered the continent, found green shores, and called it Greenland.
There is this idea that people called Iceland this inhospitable name, because they wanted less people to come over. Which isn't entirely true. But apparently, the first settlers had a hard time in Iceland and just saw snow and glaciers, which is where it got its name from.
