Alaskan Farm LLC launched a wholesome and varied summer vegetable CSA at a tenant farm in North Pole, servicing a few local venues and markets, adding strawberries, eggs, and honey as we grew. Before long it was time to spread our wings and find a place we could grow deeper and steward sustainably as a family. We wrapped up the 2020 season of tenant farming in North Pole while simultaneously selling our home and moving to the hills of Fairbanks in October. Not fun, nor advisable, but there's a whole backstory complete with a few miracles from God sprinkled in; a story for another time. In 2023 we acquired raw land, having it cleared and terraced for the ultimate long term deposit: an organically grown regenerative market garden, for in the words of Eliot Coleman:
"Food is not a commodity to be produced as cheaply as possible. It's the living matter that fuels our systems."
We look forward to reopening our CSA membership soon and offering Alaskan Farm fresh produce to our local community. Please subscribe below for seasonal updates as things are ramping up quite quickly. In the meantime, fresh produce, healthy garden starts, honey, herbal products and more are available in our Online Market Garden. We offer local delivery, shipping and pickup at our farm, located 1 mile up Summit Drive off Farmers Loop Rd across from the Mushers Hall.
Our roots go deep, one might say, with our ancestors farming as far back as we can trace, and as a family of 4th generation Alaskans, we're honored and determined to continue this heritage.
Your farmers,
Jerri & crew
