City boy Knut Kastnes realized his dream of becoming a farmer when he bought the remote small farm Sæterstad in Hattfjelldal. He moved into a half-dilapidated house, he searched for an apartment, and Siri Kobberød from Trondheim came - and stayed. Together, they have transformed Sæterstad into a state farm. In one barn, they breed char and prepare razor fish for sale, and in another barn the goats supply raw material for what becomes a dozen types of cheese, the cheese at home on the farm.

Severin Rønes is 25 years old and says that he is like most young people. But he has settled down on a roadless, depopulated family farm by the Storfjorden in Sunnmøre. Here the Einebuaren lives as a sheep farmer and herder, he hunts deer and foxes and catches martens and gray cat. Last winter his boat was broken down during a big storm, and later the quay went the same way. But Severin did not give up. Now he clears forests to get the cultural landscape on the farm and on the farm in order.
