Fresh quality and real flavors straight from the farm

Vestfold is brimming with quality ingredients, and its farm shops are filled with fresh local produce.

At Søndre Grevle in Stavern you’ll find fresh vegetables, juicy strawberries and flavoursome meat from free-range pigs. Everything is grown and produced on the farm or in the local area – it’s a short journey from farm to fork.

Not far away, at Kryssgaarden near Helgeroa, you can pick apples, Celina pears and raspberries straight from the trees. When the farmer isn’t around, the self-service farm shop is open, so you can buy fresh, local produce whenever it suits you.

Knatten Fruktgård is located in Sandefjord, an idyllic fruit farm with over three generations of experience in fruit production. Here you’ll find fruit, berries and their own apple juice – known for its pure and full-bodied flavour with no additives.
