The farms are open to the public in the summer season, often free of charge.

Even in Oslo some farms are open:

Nordre Lindeberg farm is open all year and has horses, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats. There are horse & cart rides in the weekends, and the café is open every day except Saturdays.

Bogstad Manor is open all year. In the summer you can see all the animals outside: Sheep, horses, cows, pigs, rabbits and hens.

Norwegian farms include everything from small mountain farms to large flatland enterprises. Even the smallest kind of farm will often take you as a guest if you ask. Some mountain farms even hold courses where you can try your hand as an old-fashioned milkmaid.
