Apples
We have a long apple harvest, starting in early August and ending in mid-October. We have most of the current varieties that can be grown. However, apples are only a small part of what we do.

Plums
The first sign of autumn is of course plums when you live on an orchard. Well, if autumn is not in full swing, it is certainly not far off. Norwegian plums are known to be world-class in terms of sweetness, consistency and aroma. We have also chosen to extend the season as far as possible from the end of July to mid-September.

Strawberries
A summer without strawberries is a deplorable thing. We have chosen to make up for it with strawberry plants that start early long before the summer, and when they take a short break in June, they take over the usual summer berries, before the others come back in mid-July and produce until well into October, if the weather allows for it. Almost six months of strawberries..

Currants
If you want to eat something really fresh on a lazy summer day, preferably with a little sugar and cream, maybe even vanilla sauce, then currants set the standard.

TYPE
Gooseberry
A strangely tasty berry that has so much protection in the form of spikes on its branches that it's not always fun to harvest them, but still, they're in season.
