Sustainability and accommodation
På Bolkesjø Gaard etterstreber vi å minimere vårt eget miljøavtrykk. Vi er opptatt av å ta vare på det som er gammelt og reparere i stede for å kjøpe nytt. Den nyeste bygningen på gården er låven fra år 1936, resten av bygningene er alle over 100 år gamle. Bygninger og gjenstander tilpasses til dagens behov.
The forest is an important part of the green shift. Both as a renewable resource that should be utilized through forestry, and through the biological diversity found in nature. Bjønnestille is the farm's own nature reserve, totaling 1417 daa. Outfield pastures are utilized by grazing animals and we manage old hay meadows to preserve biodiversity.
In the spring of 2023, we installed solar panels on the barn roof and we are co-owners of Follsjå kraft. In general, we strive for low consumption and value local raw materials such as fish, game, berries and mushrooms. Feel free to ask us if you would like tips for gathering.
To support sustainable tourism and limit your own environmental footprint, we ask that you as a guest book a minimum of two nights with us.
