Here you can harvest your own ingredients this summer
There’s something truly special about serving food you’ve harvested yourself. Here’s where to go in Østfold to experience it.
Whether you’re looking for the joy of picking your own ingredients or taking them home to prepare a locally sourced meal, the Østfold region offers plenty of opportunities. Harvesting your own food is not only a rewarding activity but also a great family experience and a way to deepen your knowledge of ingredients. Who knows, it might even spark a new interest or hobby!

They also share excellent culinary tips, like how to use lovage, one of the most aromatic ingredients for tomato dishes, pizza, eggs, soups, and broths. Their passion for quality ingredients and flavour also extends to the spice salts and herb blends they produce and sell on the farm.
