Kolonihagen

What's in the box: The site does not describe current box contents, so check with Kolonihagen directly for what a delivery would include.

Kolonihagen is a Norwegian organic food company founded in 2004 by Katrine, Jorunn and Jon Frede. Its roots include delivering food boxes to doorsteps, and the founders were promoting those boxes at Øyafestivalen in Oslo as early as 2006. Since then the brand has grown into a bakery, a restaurant in Oslo's Frogner area, a brewery collaboration and a product range now sold in every REMA 1000 store in Norway. The company names soil health, animal welfare and responsibility as its core priorities, says it wants all of its farmers to farm regeneratively, and has promised to move its dairy production fully to Norwegian milk. It also publishes an E-stoffguiden, a guide to food additives, which fits its focus on simple ingredients. Shoppers should know that the current website puts its products, restaurant and farm front and center and does not clearly present a subscription box. It does not state box sizes, delivery areas, schedules or pricing. If you want recurring produce delivery, contact Kolonihagen directly before counting on it, or treat the brand mainly as a source of organic groceries you can pick up at REMA 1000. For buyers who care about organic sourcing and Norwegian farming, the values here are clear and have been consistent for two decades.
