Hagebruksskule (SJH; Sogn school of organic agriculture and horticulture) gives students of all ages an opportunity to learn about organic farming at a professional level. The school accepts students from all of Norway as well as foreign students. The school emphasizes practical skills, and the school farm is an important part of the education. The farm is completely converted to organic production, and boasts a great variety of animals (dairy cattle, goats, sheep, workhorses, hens and a pig), vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs.
An organic farmer is concerned about managing the long-term well-being of the soil and environment by using ecologically sound principles. The goal is to produce healthy food without jeopardizing the soils ability to serve future generations as well. To put it simply, organic farming is trying to put into practice the idea of sustainable living. An organic farmer tries as much as possible to base the production of fodder and manure from the farm itself, and to build on nature’s own principles to avoid diseases and pests. Artificial fertilizers and chemical treatments are therefore avoided.
