Welcome!

Welcome to your one-stop "store" for information and inspiration on eating Alaska foods. This is a work in progress and I continually add new information and resources. Please contact me if you have questions, can't find what you're looking for here, or have information that seems right for this site.

Alaska Food Challenge
June 21, 2011 - June 20, 2012

No tropical fruits. No sugar. No coffee. Wait--no coffee? What??!! Think you could eat an all Alaska foods diet for one year? How about a mostly Alaska foods diet? Several people are doing just that. Find out more about the Alaska Food Challenge on the Alaska Food Challenge blog, on the Alaska Permaculture website under "Groups," or read an award-winning article in Alaska Business Monthly (pg 42).
