Tønne's Martin Dyrskog grew up on a roadless farm by Ørsdalsvatnet in Bjerkreim in Rogaland, but after an accident he moved to another remote farm, Røysland, in Lund municipality. Here he and his wife go with car and tractor on a scary farm road, and where it is too steep and rocky for the motor mower, he goes with the scythe. The trees will not grow again, even though he knows he will be the last user on Røysland.

Arne Bakke Mælen had a share in the remote small farm Mælen in Jondal in Hardanger. But the slopes were steep, and when he took over, the houses were falling down. Instead of working the land, he turned the yard into an art and culture centre, with a gallery, party room and workshop. He himself is a craftsman who works with wood, and who takes impressive pictures and spins matchless balls.
