Growing Food in Alaska
Alaska conjures up the image of cold, dark northern lights, sled dogs and perception that we live in dark six months of the year. Well, not all true, especially the six months in dark part.
Our growing season is shorter than rest of the country, but the enthusiasm in growing our own food, producing all vegetables, foraging mushrooms and raising bees and chickens, is somewhat surprising and pursued with gusto!
Join me to learn how the farmers, ranchers, foragers face challenges to pursue their passions. You'll love their vision, their stories and their successes. Join me in my conversations with these entrepreneurs.
