HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED TO SUSTAINABLE ALASKA MAGAZINE?
We're so excited to launch our brand new quarterly magazine, Sustainable Alaska.
Articles are written by Alaskans with a focus on living closer to the the land.
We believe Alaska provides abundantly for its people, but we just need to learn how (and be inspired)!
You can purchase a single issue or a year subscription. Plus you can order in print or digital.
Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat. In our mad rush for progress and modern improvements, let's be sure we take along with us all the old-fashioned things worthwhile.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder
THE FARM
Whether you're planning a u-pick visit, picking up plants from the nursery, or attending classes, we want you to feel like part of the family.
We have four fenced acres of orchard, a large greenhouse (usually full of cantaloupe), and plenty of grassy areas to leisurely enjoy.
We grow apples, currants (red and black), honeyberries, saskatoons (serviceberries), cherries, and more!
“We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist.”
- Wendell Berry
The Forge
In the winter months, the farmer doesn't like to just sit around so he spends most of his time in his forge making knives, jewelry, homestead tools, and more!
“When people learn to preserve the richness of the land that God has given them and the rights to enjoy the fruits of their own labors then will be the time when all shall have meat in the smokehouse corn in the crib and time to go to the election.”
- "W.C." of Rural Neck KY in a letter to Farmers Home Journal - 1892

“The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.”
