The Hegdal Farm

In January, we were invited by Allison and Jan Peder Hegdal to his family farm where they now live about 40 minutes from Trondheim.  It is rustic and gorgeous and on this day, it had just snowed quite a bit.  We were delayed departing home when my small-wheel base Hyundai got stuck getting out of our driveway.  The Hegdals were wonderful hosts and took us on a hike around their expansive property that included panoramic views of the valley and evidence of moose tracks.  People had built a community picnic lookout place with tables and decorations.  You can stop here, build a fire and hang out.  Just enjoy the wonderful nature . . . hiking in the winter or summer, cross-country skiing, finding wildlife or snowmobiling; all on their property.

In the home that Jan Peder's family built and lived in for many years are some unique things like the hand wood-carved corner hutch that was many years old.

Just a little snow on the patio!

A place to just stop over in the winter or summer and rest. . . 

. . . so we did.

We love these farms . . .

. . . many have these ramps leading to the upper level where
the wagons can just take the hay directly in to later drop down to the livestock.
