Not able to use a door k**b? Use that extra seat belt that’s been lying around! Need a raised garden that you can move next year? Some old hot tubs in the back might just work perfectly!
Alaska has one of the highest costs of living in the USA, and being so far from the mainland means there’s not always the option to get things shipped or brought to you from another state. Alaska ag workers must get creative to keep their operations up and running.

We love to see local produce in stores! According to the comments, there are local carrots at the new Costco Business Center as well!

Happy to see my friends’ Alaska Grown produce at the brand new Costco Business Center. Congrats VanderWeele Farm!! I dream that our Microgreens will be there too someday. Thanks for paving the way for Alaska’s growing agriculture industry.
