Set in the landscape of Nissedal, Nylende Gard is a family-run farm offering a direct connection between local produce and the people behind it. Run by Arnt Erik Evja and Janne Løvlie Rønneberg, together with their two children, the farm is made accessible through a small, self-service shop where customers can find high-quality, locally produced food.

What began as a potato stand has gradually developed into a farm shop built from restored cabins, open around the clock. Here, visitors will find the farm’s own meat products, alongside a selection of goods from other Norwegian producers – from juices and honey to cured meats and seasonal produce.

For the family, quality starts with the animals. Sheep and cattle graze freely across fields and mountain pastures depending on the season, contributing to both animal welfare and the final product. “They live a good life,” Rønneberg proudly states.

The aim is to offer more than just food. “It doesn’t get more local than this,” she explains. “It’s not just a piece of meat – you feel much closer to it.”

While the farm itself only welcomes guests at certain seasons, the shop remains an accessible way to experience it. Located close to one of Nissedal’s many cabin areas, it has become a natural stop for both locals and visitors.

With its beautiful nature, the area draws visitors year-round, from skiing in winter to hiking and cycling in the warmer months, making Nylende Gard a natural stop for those looking to bring a taste of the region home.
