Store Naa –
Farm 57, Holding 2
The farm has been in the family since 10 October 1724. That year Store Nå was divided into two holdings of equal size, and Eirik Asbjørnson Aga received his share as a deed of gift from his father-in-law, Jarand Meland.
The houses and barns of holdings 1 and 2 stood together in a clustered farmyard, where holding 2 has its houses today. The fields were split into strips that lay scattered among each other, which could cause some friction between the farmers. After the land reallocation of 1900, the two holdings were fully separated.
