Hardangerbonden that's us. Farmer Ingrid and Farmhand Bård. A former teacher and a petroleum engineer, who loves fresh air and hard work.
At Sekse in Hardanger, we cultivate apples. Sweet, juicy, and tart apples! We have 10,000 apple trees, and in 2023, we harvested 90 tons of apples. In a new cider house on the farm, we further process our apples into apple juice and cider. We only use our own raw materials in production. That way, we have full control over quality and ripeness. If you drink apple juice or cider from Hardangerbonden, we can point out which tree the apples came from.
In the cider house, you can also shop in the farm shop or participate in cider tastings with guided tours and storytelling. If you're lucky enough to visit during pressing, you can try a relaxing apple spa in the apple foam among the apple trees.
Our products are made from pure apple varieties to highlight each apple's unique flavor. On the labels, there are illustrations of important people in our lives, and on the back label, you can read the stories of the different individuals. Personal and honest communication is important to us. We want to give you an experience of good taste along with a feeling of where the product comes from and who made it.
