Spring's little food trip - visit farm sales in Oslo and Akershus
Spring is the time to get outside, experience the local area and taste the best seasonal produce. On Saturday, April 18, several farm shops in Oslo and Akershus will invite you to an open day – a pleasant opportunity to experience local food and meet the producers behind the food.
The event A Farm Sale Near You brings together local food producers in the region who open their doors and welcome visitors to their farms. Here you can buy locally sourced products directly from the producer and get to know the food that is made in the local area better.
Here you have the opportunity to:
- Shop for locally sourced goods directly from the manufacturer
- Taste local specialties
- Experience life on the farm
- Bring your family and friends on a nice spring outing
Many of the farms offer that little extra – such as tastings, small activities, tours or other pleasant experiences.
This is a great opportunity to get to know the producers in your area, support local food production and perhaps discover a new favorite right near where you live.
Experience local food straight from the farm
Farm sales provide a unique opportunity to buy food directly from the people who produce it. Many of the products you find here are made in small quantities, using ingredients from the farm or from local partners.
On this day you can experience, among other things:
- fresh ingredients and locally produced food
- meet the producers and hear the stories behind the products
- taste local specialties
- experience life on the farm
For many, the farm outlet is more than just a store. It is also a meeting place where knowledge about raw materials, crafts and traditions is shared directly with those who visit the farm.
A pleasant spring excursion in the surrounding area
Visiting a farm sale can be an easy and enjoyable activity for friends, families and foodies alike. Many of the farms are happy to arrange small experiences on this day, such as tastings or the opportunity to see a bit of the farm operation.
At the same time, this is a great opportunity to support local food production and get to know the producers in your area better.
Many people also discover new favorites when they shop directly from the farm – whether it's fresh produce, local drinks or other specialties.
