Voll: Farm Products and Klepp’s Natural and Cultural Heritage

Voll is located in the municipality of Klepp. The farm offerings give the place a distinct local character; natural and cultural heritage offer additional perspectives on Klepp.

Farm Products in Voll

Bærå, a farm in Voll, grows organic strawberries and raspberries. Hole gardsutsalg has a different focus: the farm shop sells its own beef and milk through a milk vending machine. It also stocks locally made yoghurt and cheese and offers ice cream made from fresh farm milk. This puts berry growing alongside a selection of meat, dairy products and ice cream.

Berry availability may vary by season, and ice cream is also a seasonal offering. The selection at Hole gardsutsalg may change depending on the season; the shop’s operating hours may also change. If you are planning a specific visit, check the current opening hours and offerings in advance.
