Our Roots

Alaskan Farm 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.  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.

We wrapped up the 2020 season of tenant farming in North Pole while simultaneously selling our home and moving our kit, kaboodle, and menagerie 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.

Finally, in 2023 we acquired raw land, had it cleared and terraced for the ultimate long term deposit:  an organically grown regenerative market garden, because our "food is not a commodity to be produced as cheaply as possible. It's the living matter that fuels our systems."  - Eliot Coleman

We look forward to reopening our CSA membership and offering Alaskan Farm fresh produce to the Fairbanks community again soon. Please subscribe for seasonal updates as things are ramping up quite quickly.  In the meantime, fresh produce and more are available in our Online Market for pickup at the farm.

Your farmers,

Nathan, Jerri & crew
