Like pearls on a string, the farms are located in the fruit village of Gvarv in the middle of Telemark. On this round trip from Straand Hotel, we take you to a selection of producers of local food and drink based on fruit and berries. A perfect day trip to whet your appetite before dinner!
Our proposed route with start and finish at Straand Hotel includes tasting stops at three different fruit farms:
At Nyhuus farm you can experience real farm culture, fruit taste and aesthetic experiences. On the farm you can get samples from the apple and fruit production harvested from 12,000 fruit trees (!), buy fruit, apple juice, jam, juice, jellies and honey in the farm shop and not least look around in Galleri Nyhuus – the farm’s own art gallery.

Lindheim Ølkompani is both a fruit farm, brewery and restaurant in one and the same package! The family business with three generations in operation produces both beer, cider, apple juice, has its own garden restaurant, sale, tasting and guided tours. Both apples and cherries are grown here, as well as other fruits, vegetables and flowers. Read more here!
With apples, bees and berries, Lien Gård creates products “grown with love in Telemark”, as they describe it. The farm is idyllically located on Akkerhaugen by Lake Norsjø, and here the Hellekås family has established both a farm shop, outdoor seating and sauna by the water. Lien Gård welcomes groups for guided tours and cider tasting.

The entire day trip is estimated to take about 7 hours, starting and stopping at Straand Hotel in Vrådal.
