About us<\/strong>
H\u00e5vardsrud Seterliv<\/strong> is a traditional Norwegian farm in Skirvedalen. Here, children can have fun, run around freely and get to know farm animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stewards who work at the farm show and explain how to handle the animals. Both adults and children can help with moving small animals, caring for chickens, picking up cows, milking and feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of joy, the children sit on the turf roof and cuddle with the rabbits, or jump from stone to stone with the goat’s milk and the lamb. Feeding the pigs with sour milk that spurts is also a hit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The care of the milk, cheesemaking and cheesemaking is taken care of by the farm, but you can see a little through the windows of the new cheese factory. This is for food safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wish, you can take part in a butter making course, where you make butter with budeia and get your own butter to take home. The course takes about 1 \u2013 2 hours.<\/p>\nH\u00e5vardsrud Seterliv<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dorthe Erichsen and her Series Seterliv<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While touring the H\u00e5vardsrud Seterliv<\/strong> farm website, we came across a blog post that recommended a series of books by Dorthe Erichsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WLBOTT<\/strong> research team had some trouble finding much info on the Seterliv <\/em>series, so we asked Elder G<\/strong> to lend a hand….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G, yesterday we were talking about a nice Norwegian town called Rjukan. I came across a delightful farm nearby that gives children a farm experience, with cows, chickens, pigs and goats. The farm website references a series of books called “Seterliv” by author Dorthe Erichsen, but I can’t seem to find any information about the book series. Can you help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder G:<\/strong>
Absolutely! The Seterliv<\/strong> series by Dorthe Erichsen is indeed a real and well-established series of Norwegian historical-romance books. Here’s what I found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
