Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell organic produce?
Yes and No. We try to sell 75% pesticide free produce but Alaska is a cold northern climate and does not have very many pest problems. Pesticide use is at a bare minimum in Alaska. For instance, Alaska has no potato bugs which is a huge advantage to the health of our potatoes.
How do I know what is in season at the store?
Like us on Facebook where we will try to update our store availability on a weekly basis. Also Subscribe to our Newsletter for weekly updates and new products.
When is your season? What are your daily hours?
We are open daily from 10am-6pm. Fresh Alaskan grown produce becomes abundant from Mid June to Mid October.
I’d like to order my vegetables in bulk. Is there way I can do that?

Where do you get your vegetables and produce?

I really want to learn how to preserve (can, freeze, ferment) the produce that I buy. Where can I find resources to do this?
