Sjurstua på Rød

Marie Teigland and Simone Tessa own and run the farm "Sjurstua på Rød" nearby Eidsvåg in Romsdal. We bought the farm on the open market in 2011 with the desire to refurbish the house and use the natural resources on the farm in the best possible way. The farm is our small contribution to solving "global challenges with local answers".

Since 2011, we have rebuilt the old farm and now have 30 cows of the breed Vestlandsk Fjordfe, 35 winter sheep (Old Norse breed) and 20 beehives. Everything that is produced is processed and sold from the farm through our self-service shop, the REKO-ring in Molde, markets and on request.

All our animals are grass-fed and graze in the same areas, but at different times. Everyone contributes in their own way to improving the pastures of the other animals. We take back everything we produce ourselves because we want as few intermediaries as possible in our production and think that food should travel the least possible from producer to consumer.

Since we started with food production, we have operated without pesticides an external energy input. The farm is organically approved through DEBIO and all our production is certified organic. All the animals are out grazing in the summer and otherwise live in a free-ranging barn. The bees are also on autumn pasture at Rødfjellet ( our nearby-mountain), where they collect heather honey.

The learning curve has been steep for us, and we are constantly learning from our mistakes. There is an incredible amount of knowledge behind a well-run farm!

We have production premises on the farm where we produce salsiccia amongst other products.

We have a small self-service booth in front of the farmhouse where you can buy a selection of our products. For larger larger trade, please get in touch and we will arrange a time that suits!
