E H Vaage landhandleri, bageri og dampskibsexpedition
Chocolate factory, local food outlet and sale of local craft products. The shop is today like a living museum, where you can see what a coastal trading post could have been like 100 years ago.
In 1895, Engelaus H Vaage took over the trading post from his father at Eie in Uggdal. He married rich and built the shop, where it stands today, in 1902. It was later run by his son Ole Vaage, until it was closed in 1987. In recent years, Haaheim Gaard has restored it and made it their seafront experience. Haaheim Chocolate also has its production and sale of handmade confectionery here.
Relax and enjoy an experience from a bygone era!
The Dalland farm
Anders and Irene Dalland's vision is to run the farm in a sustainable and natural way, with the best interests of the animals in focus. They have a strong wish that the animals should be allowed to live on their own terms, not on the terms of capital-driven industrial food production. They must live off and in nature, and make use of the resources available on the farm. This demands a lot from the farmers, but the result is a meat product of a completely distinctive quality.
Garden at Dalland have the old norwegian cattle breed "Vestlandsk fjordfe" and the old norwegian breed of sheep "Gammalnorsk sau". The Dalland family use the virtual fencing system "Nofence", and thus the animals are free to roam the countryside within virtual fences.
Follow the farm on Facebook and Instagram for updates and information on where you can buy their products.
