Farmers can update information directly through online interfaces linked to the backend database. The website offers an interactive map and card payment functionality.

Business model

Impact
Norske Garder aims to improve the visibility of local farms by providing a shared digital platform where producers can present products, services and farm-based activities, making information on local food and farm offerings more accessible to consumers. The directory aims to strengthens producer–consumer linkages by reducing information gaps related to farm location, product origin and available services, thereby supporting local food systems and rural entrepreneurship. For farmers, Norske Garder offers an additional channel to reach customers without relying on multiple intermediaries or individual digital tools. As of January 2026, this directory profiles over 250 local farms across Norway.
