The Norwegian farm culture (Norwegian: bondekultur) was a rural movement unique in values and practices which assumed a form in Viking Age Norway, and continued with little change into the age of firearms – and in many respects even to the early 20th century. It has been described as unique in Europe and was widely celebrated in Norwegian literature during the romantic nationalist movement.

Famous quotes containing the words farm and/or culture:
“A farm is a good thing, when it begins and ends with itself, and does not need a salary, or a shop, to eke it out.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
