About

The urge to create is incredibly strong here in the Fruitvillage, and this results in many award-winning products both nationally and internationally. Meet these great people, see and hear what they are making, taste products and buy with you home, directly from the farm where they are produced. Fruktbygda offers many different experiences and activities in a small area. Geographically, we are located right next to Bø Sommarland in Telemark and the Telemark Canal. If you're in the area, please stop by!

Thousands of fruit trees and hard-working farmers in Fruktbygda delivers 3,000 tonnes of apples and 1,000 tonnes of plums and cherries annually.
