Guess What Our Farm Grows?
Marshmallows..!
…big, fat, yummy ones. Marshmallows are like a field mushroom that grows soft and gooey in the sun. Farmers need to cut down the grass so the marshmallows have room to grow nice and round. To harvest, a tractor picks and stacks the marshmallows onto a truck. At the marshmallow factory they are cleaned, cut into bite-size pieces, bagged and shipped to every shop across the country. But nothing beats fresh farm marshmallows – Mmmmmh, toastie.

Table settings are very much a part of the tradition of serving cake.
Many Norwegians know what they are doing when they pick wild mushrooms. This knowledge is passed down the family during mushroom hunting trips. The hard-core mushroom hunters go into the mountain wilderness for days to get the best finds.
This custom is based on a spiritual commitment.
To visit the mountain during the Midnight Sun is a real treat.
Reindeer is synonymous with Sami culture and life but the Norsemen have certainly cottoned onto the goodness of reindeer cuisine. This rustic meal is perfect for cold Winter nights and packs you with energy for the next day of playing in the snow.
Nooo, these are loo rolls for elephants
