Smaker fra Øyriket AS wins agricultural award in Trøndelag!

In a short space of time, the 'Flavours from the Island Realm' network has become one of Trøndelag's leading food collaboration projects, with the jury highlighting cooperation between the businesses as a key factor in its decision.

'Through cross-industry collaboration, Smaker fra Øyriket has built a network that increases visibility and strengthens its impact. We champion collaboration because time and again, it shows that we can achieve much more together than we can on our own,' says Vigdis Harsvik, our Regional Director for Trøndelag.

The award winner says that many people are delighted with the recognition:

'Smaker fra Øyriket comprises Hitra Gårdsmat, Helgebostad Hagebruk, Dolmøy Seafood, Garnviks Røkeri, Hurran Spiseri, Bryggeriet Frøya, DalPro Gårdsmat, Hitramat and Nordheim Gård, along with partners Hotell Frøya and Hjorten Hotell,' says Sandra Bergsnev.

The many businesses that make up the network prove that together they can achieve more than each business can on its own. What they have in common is that they produce high-quality local food and culinary experiences using ingredients sourced from the farms, sea and natural environment of Hitra and Frøya. Their products are attracting attention far beyond the region. Bergsnev believes collaboration is the key to their success:

- 'They see the clear benefits of working together. All the businesses involved also make time for the partnership in their busy schedules, and this has helped us achieve strong results. We cheer each other on and support one another – together, we are golden!'
