A low stone wall marks the lane up to Steim Farm, and within minutes the air shifts from salt-scented fjord to grass and animals. Guests arrive along a sloping orchard; apples and an organic vegetable patch frame a broad view over the Sognefjorden. The guide opens the gate and the pace becomes deliberate—slow steps past grazing fields, fingers brushing warm alpaca fleece, ducks waddling like punctuation in the barnyard.

A low stone wall marks the lane up to Steim Farm, and within minutes the air shifts from salt-scented fjord to grass and animals. Guests arrive along a sloping orchard; apples and an organic vegetable patch frame a broad view over the Sognefjorden. The guide opens the gate and the pace becomes deliberate—slow steps past grazing fields, fingers brushing warm alpaca fleece, ducks waddling like punctuation in the barnyard.
The farm sits on land farmed since the Viking age, where smallholdings and communal grazing shaped settlement patterns. Geologically, Steim perches on the inner edge of Sognefjorden where glacially carved valleys funnel weather and views; the stone church of Hove, built in the 12th century, keeps silent watch across the water. Local culture here still orients around seasonal feed cycles, long-wool sheep breeds and the national fjord horse that appears on neighboring properties.
Practically, the experience is compact and accessible: a guided 70-minute walk that moves from orchard to vegetable beds, through the barn, and past open pastures where goats and fjord horses often graze. There are hands-on moments—feeding, tasting strawberries in season, and optional picnic baskets enjoyed with a fjord view. The farm is wheelchair and stroller friendly and suitable for families.
Plan layers for coastal wind, wear closed-toe shoes for muddy paths, and visit in the morning if you hope to see young animals. Keep conversations low around nesting ducks and respect pasture fences; the best memories here are made by slowing down and letting the farm set the rhythm.
