The fjords and valleys around Bergen, including nearby Hardanger, are home to farms and orchards producing apples, cider, cheese, honey and cured meats in one of Norways most beautiful landscapes. Buying from these producers and visiting farm outlets supports rural communities and sustainable agriculture. Choosing local fjord and farm produce sustains the traditional livelihoods of the region and offers visitors a genuine taste of western Norway, easily discovered on trips from the city.
