At the Skogheim farm in Aure, fruit trees have been planted since the 1940s. When Bjørn Torsetnes inherited the farm, he and his business partner June Vestavik saw the opportunity to develop a unique product based on the old traditions of the farm. After the first tree was planted, it did not take long until "Fjordsider" was created. The partners have planted over 750 apple trees on the farm.

The landscape at Skogheim farm is great for fruit growing, and the climate in North-West Norway ensures a long ripening period, which gives the apples a nice and rich flavour. We use the varieties Aroma, Gravenstein and Discovery to create the great taste of "Fjordsider". The trees are hand-planted and the apples are hand-picked before they are pressed, mixed and bottled into "Fjordsider" at Hjelset near Molde.

On request, we also accept groups for cider tastings in our new cider tasting house.
