Holmefjord

Holmefjord is a place in Fusa in Western Norway.

Holmefjord is a small typical western Norwegian village. In 1960 there were 2 general shops, a dairy as well as a local bakery. Due to modern communications and lifestyle, in 2006 there is only one general shop left. There are a few factories based on wood as raw materials, producing among other things wooden beams. The traditional handicraft of making barrels out of pine is now almost extinct. These barrels were used for storage of herring as well as exported to Canada and Iceland.

The village is keeping an almost 100-years tradition of setting up a play every May 17. Most villagers have through the years participated in the play. On May 17 the villagers work together and make a lot of a popular local porridge, called "raudravle", which is sold for the benefit of the community house Bygdaheimen.
