Varhaug

Maybe high-rise buildings are the answer, maybe Norway decides to rely more on foreign food production or perhaps there will be new villages established east of the prime agricultural land.

It is uncertain why this name was chosen for the train station, but the farms close to the sea have traditionally been wealthy and important in Jæren.

Statistics Norway publish population numbers for every large village but only provides detailed information at the municipality level.

Hå municipality has always ranked high on fertility rate compared to the Norwegian average.

[6] Due to the heavy population increase in Nærbø, it's believed that this number is a bit lower in Varhaug.

Still there has been a significant number of asylum seekers, foreign workers and Norwegians from other municipalities settling down in the village.

Another big employer in Varhaug is Fjordkjøkken AS, a company specializing in producing prefabricated dinner meals for the Norwegian brand Fjordland.

Many people from the village has jobs in the larger nearby cities of Stavanger, Sandnes, and Bryne.

However, Hå municipality is trying to create more jobs locally, such as the food industry park in Kviamarka.

Varhaug skule was opened in 1958 and combined the school houses of Auestad, Lerbrekk, Odland, Ualand and Ånestad.

Approximately 6 kilometres east of Varhaug is the motorcycle speedway and motocross stadium known as Elgane.

[9][10] The facility is run by the Motorsykkel Elgane Klubb[11] and is one of Norway's leading motorcycle speedway venues and has held multiple international events.
