In our part of Norway large areas of productive forest dominate the landscape. The farms are rather small, 5 – 500 ha, 90 % of their total amount of land often consists of forest. The cultivated farmland is most often used for production of grass, which is dried and used as winter food for sheep, goats, cattle and horses.
During the summer domestic animals are let out in the forest and the mountain areas to feed.
Farms located near the grain-producing districts, traditionally also kept pigs and poultry, and game meat, timber and fur skins were exchanged with grain.
Long and cold winters and lack of flat , suitable land makes farming in Norway more difficult and far less intensive compared to Central European conditions. However, what we lack in quantity, we gain in quality:
Meat from slowly growing free range animals is incomparable, concerning taste, structure and nutrition value, to meat from modern ”animal factories”, where the main issue is to produce large amounts of cheap meat within minimum time rate. Welfare of animals and nutrition value of the meat does not seem to be actual issues.
We arrange childrens´horse camps on our farm in the summer time from 20 / 6 till 20 / 8, in the autumn holiday, the Christmas holiday, the winter holiday and in the Easter holiday.
Children between 10 and 16 years of age can participate, staying on the farm alone or together with their parents. We also accept younger children, if parent (s) stay on the farm with them.
We have self household apartment, cabin or camping room for rent for parents / families. For prices, see Lodging
The children normally stay in 4- bed – rooms, double or single rooms are available, but will be charged with extra cost. There are pillows and blankets in all beds, but the children must bring their own bedclothes or sleeping bag.
Food is included in the price.
During camp time the children participate in theoretical and practical lessons, and practical demonstrations.
