Lorem ipsum dolor et al about the project. Tessa and Ander operate one of the few organic orchards in Hardanger, an area on the Norwegian west coast, historically known for its beautiful nature.

While fruit growing has long traditions here, it is not as romantic as it sounds. Insects and animals damaging the crops, alongside the discovery of diseases and fungi in the 1930s, initiated “the pest war” that escalated with the first experiments with pesticides and herbicides. It did not take long until all fruit farms in Hardanger started to use chemical agents in their farming practice.
