As third-generation fruit farmers at Lindheim farm, located in Gvarv in Telemark, Eivin Eilertsen and Ingeborg Lindheim wanted to be able to live off the family farm. But their fruit production was not enough. “We had a lot of fruit, and it was important to us to stay true to our farm’s traditions and keep the production going,” Eivin Eilertsen says. “But we also realised that we could not live off fruit alone. We had to do more, and that was when beer came into the picture.” Eivin hails from Sigerfjord in Vesterålen, and trained in health and sports science at NTNU. Ingeborg Lindheim is the oldest of three siblings. She is a trained teacher, but works full time on the farm with Eivin. Lindheim is located over 1,000 acres of farm, 100 of which is dedicated to fruit.
