After a 35-year career as a chef, I came back to my childhood home to turn the family farm land into a place for traditional Norwegian cooking.
Tove’s Tradisjonsmat opened its doors in 1994 and now I sell a variety of handmade food products and flowers alongside crafts and food items from local producers.
The Farm shop sells a variety of food products, including Lefse, a traditional, Norwegian flatbread that is adored throughout the country.
The aim of Tove’s Tradisjonsmat is to share traditional Norwegian cuisine. For me, food is about identity and experience.
As there is a lot of history in Norwegian cooking, the cafe & farm keep the traditions alive but also tries to meet the expectations of a modern world.
To do this, I have a set of values that help push the business into a successful future.
I make authentic Norwegian food, from years of experience and generations of knowledge.
I cater to the community just as much as visitors. I sell handcrafted food and material products in my shop all made by myself and other local producers.
I grow a lot of food right here on my farm, without the need for synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer.
I produce food using traditional methods and tools, passed down from the skilled craftworkers that came before me.
