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:
“I farm a pasture where the boulders lie
As touching as a basketful of eggs....”

“Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
