The Skaugum estate in Asker southwest of Oslo is run as a modern, forward-looking farm under a farm manager with 3 permanent assistants. The main products are grain, milk and meat. The farm is self-supporting and any profit is re-invested. The farm consists of about 120 acres of cultivated land and about 125 acres of forest, as well as roughly 135 acres of rented tilled land. Half the area is used for grain and the rest for feed production and pasture. In 1992 a new modern byre (based on environmental and free range principles) was taken into use. The livestock consists of 125 head of cattle and the milk quota amounts to 214,000 litres per year. The bull-calves go to beef production, while the heifers are reared as dairy cows for milk production.

Anyway, you do not get rich farming in Norway
And I doubt think Haakon and Mette-MArit spend their spare time in the cowshed:p but they have a horse and they recently said the childen had gotten a bunny each. In the video from Ingrids first birthday you can see the horse and see them visiting the cowshed
