Fresh quality and real flavors straight from the farm

Vestfold is brimming with quality ingredients, and its farm shops are filled with fresh local produce.

At Søndre Grevle in Stavern you’ll find fresh vegetables, juicy strawberries and flavoursome meat from free-range pigs. Everything is grown and produced on the farm or in the local area – it’s a short journey from farm to fork.

Not far away, at Kryssgaarden near Helgeroa, you can pick apples, Celina pears and raspberries straight from the trees. When the farmer isn’t around, the self-service farm shop is open, so you can buy fresh, local produce whenever it suits you.

Knatten Fruktgård is located in Sandefjord, an idyllic fruit farm with over three generations of experience in fruit production. Here you’ll find fruit, berries and their own apple juice – known for its pure and full-bodied flavour with no additives.

At Holt Gård in Undrumsdal, yoghurt, cheese and ice cream are made from organic milk from their own cows. In the farm shop you’ll also find fresh eggs, meat and vegetables – all produced on the farm and with a focus on sustainability and quality.

At Tjøme Kolonial, the shelves are filled with organic delicacies, fresh bread and the legendary pesto that people come from far and wide to get their hands on. Here you can both shop for something good to take home and sit down with a coffee.

Ocean’s finest – served fresh on your plate

With the sea close by, there’s no shortage of fresh seafood in Vestfold. In Sandefjord, you’ll find Brygga 11, the restaurant of Bocuse d’Or winner Geir Skeie. Here it’s all about pure, good flavours from the sea, served in a relaxed atmosphere.

One waiter holds two plates of fish soup with mussels and fresh herbs, while the other serves a large bowl of mussels, French fries and aioli. In the background, you can see the restaurant's interior with glass doors, tables covered with blue water glasses and warm light bulbs that create an inviting atmosphere.

Right next door is Brødrene Berggren, one of the country’s oldest fishmongers – and a trusted supplier of seafood to both restaurants and locals. Here you’ll always find fresh catch, whether you’re looking for today’s dinner or something extra special for the weekend.
