Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu

Bente Getz took over a small, roadless small farm that had long had a barn in Samnanger. She got dairy sheep and started making sheep's cheese, she made her own bakery, and she sold weeds as salad to finer restaurants in Bergen. The turnover has now passed the million mark.

The nursing couple Stine and Per-Sverre Engdal are fond of outdoor life, and they have bought a small mountain farm in Hattfjelldal. They wanted to combine agriculture with green care. But the fourth child they had was multi-handicapped. Then they changed their plans, became foster parents and took in two more children.

Terjer Hidle took over the farm at home at Nord-Hidle in Boknafjorden and runs sheep farming, farm tourism and Christmas tree production. A rare breed of sheep keeps her Christmas tree fields free of weeds. Erling, her husband, is now building a health clinic on the farm, based on food that is not fried or boiled.

30 years ago, Gaby from the Faroe Islands and Rupert from Germany came to Tinn with horse and prairie wagon. Since then, they have run the steeply sloping small farm Skifterud without mechanized aids, and the aim is to be self-sufficient. In addition, the troubadour Derben travels on tour - with horse and carriage.

Katrine and Bjarne live on the solitary farm Høttmon in Meråker, and they have taken their name from the farm. Katrine is a musician, the two children she has follow in their mother's footsteps, and the house is filled with music - and inventions. Bjarne is a sheep farmer, but it seems that the bear and the wolverine have become too close.

The Danish priest Erik Rostbøll, together with wife Kirsten, has built a house and home on an old seat in Valdres. Erik became a priest even though he has not studied theology, and even though he has been divorced twice - from two sisters. Up in the yard they have built a church, after Kirsten received a revelation to do so.
