Farms in Oslo

By the water’s edge of Bogstadvannet stands this classic 18th-century manor. The park is one of Norway’s oldest landscaped gardens, featuring walking paths, ponds, a linden-lined avenue, and scenic views of forest and lake. The main building is beautifully preserved, showcasing chandeliers, artwork, and sculptures from 1750 to 1850. During summer weekends, you can visit the animal farm with cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. Inside the old brewery building you’ll find Café Grevinnen, a charming spot serving sandwiches, cakes, and coffee. The park is free to visit, and guided tours of the main house are available.

Royal gardens, working farmland, and historic organic farming! On Bygdøy you’ll find Norway’s royal summer residence, surrounded by a farm with cows, sheep, ponies, pigs, chickens, and rabbits. The garden is a graceful nod to baroque history, with terraces, linden-lined avenues, and canals beneath towering trees. On Saturdays and during the summer season, the barn is open for visits. A lovely everyday encounter with the countryside right near the city! You’ll also find the charming Gartneriet Spiseri and the cozy Rohdeløkken café here.

This farm bakery and café in Lilleaker has taken social media by storm with its famous buns. They have their own sourdough bakery where everything is made from scratch and baked in a stone oven. You can sit inside the café or outside in the beautiful farmyard setting. There’s also a charming interior and plant shop on site.

Oslo’s green urban farm, right in Kampen! Just by Kampen School and the subway, this cozy gathering spot brings city life and farm life together. You’ll find plenty of animals here, like horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, mini pigs, chickens, rabbits, budgerigars, and cats. The farm is open to the public only a few days a week, and during those times there’s a café and waffle stand too. It all started as a local initiative in the early 90s and opened in 1994. Today, it’s run by the district with the help of volunteers, drawing around 70,000 to 100,000 visitors each year.

This stately manor in Groruddalen dates back to the Middle Ages and is home to one of Oslo’s finest Baroque gardens. Today, the estate operates as a museum and activity center. The garden is open daily during the season, where you can join guided tours, stroll through the grounds, or visit the café. Highlights include beautiful flower beds, a long canal, and a charming linden avenue.
