Thank you for the kind words! We often get requests for content about growing food in Alaska and we are happy to deliver on those requests! Thanks for being a viewer and we hope you subscribed!

Incredible, still pioneering the 'Great Land'. Great video, and by the way, they make delicious pancake mix. 🥞🥞

This was such a fantastic feature. Thank you so much for hearing your audience's requests and sharing this story about food production and security in Alaska. Your team always does such a wonderful job telling these stories in an interesting and artistic way! You all are doing great. Would love to see more food-related stories in the future as well :) (Kelp industry, salmon sisters, local wine makers, Alaska sausage and seafood, Kahladi brothers...you name it :)

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!

I remain a proud supporter of your efforts, your products are amazingly good. And I know that first-hand. Come to think of it, you'll be hearing from me shortly regarding a fresh order. Congratulations for your vision and your representing the true spirit of Alaska so well. Your customer and admirer, DJO in Cordova.

Youre recent videos and 6+ yr old videos are really interesting. Ive already started a playlist of most of your videos. The titles are eye catching for me. Its so new. Alaskan culture is new for me.

That is so awesome what you do in such a beautiful area.

Just get a job. Get paid by mentor ... hire experts people buy fertilizer off of.. cooperatives extensions. Lots of state agriculture... buy land and equipment instead of education... look up no till cover crop people. Probably google it and KZread.

What type of barley do you grow?

with global warming agriculture in southern Alaska will be feasible. At least in the Anchorage area.

Always has been. You do realize Southeast Alaska is zone 8a? Central Texas is 8b. (Obviously Alaska has much cooler summers than Texas, but Winters are about the same temperature in that region)

I support local agriculture but it would be nice if they would acknowledge that they are on Indigenous land and specifically say which specific Indigenous group(s) their farm is located on. The narrative of Alaska just being empty and untapped land open for agriculture kind feels like the old Manifest Destiny mindset, which ignores the presence and importance of Indigenous peoples and wildlife in those regions since time immemorial.

@@farmerjoe1801 Telling me not to get "sidetracked with social issues that you know little about" sounds very condescending, like you assume I'm totally ignorant and can't hold two ideas in my head at once. I can simultaneously support food security *and* voice my concern that non-Native people are still largely not considering Native people, especially when seeking to expand industry into areas that seem like remote and empty wilderness to them. Also, I'm from Alaska and I'm aware of the differences you mentioned between Indigenous and western concepts of land ownership, and between the sociopolitical context/history of Alaska and the lower 48. Although ANCSA and the corporations were certainly preferable to what happened to Native Americans in the lower 48, it was still not ideal and colonizaton still cost Alaska Natives land and freedoms overall. Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure you're over-simplifying things by saying the Russians and processed foods were/are the main problem for Alaska Native peoples; there's so many examples of America systemically hurting them. Off the top of my head: (1) forcing Native kids into deadly assimilation schools and uprooting cultures, (2) forcefully evacuating the people of the Aleutian Islands to awful concentration camps for years where many died during WWII, (3) the Atomic Energy Commission causing high cancer rates in the people of Point Hope village ever since they secretly buried nuclear waste in what they saw as "remote" and "empty" lands, and (4) the ongoing degradation of the lands and seas caused by American oil, mining, logging, and commercial fishing operations. Point is: America has been harming Indigenous peoples up here since the start. And I would hate to see that history keep repeating--even if in smaller, less noticeable ways--which is why I brought it up.

@@JordanAK907 I apologize for coming across in a condescending manner. I’m growing very weary of the people that are unable to articulate what their opinion is based upon, and are just hopping on the latest bandwagon… I happen to agree with you on these issues, but we are at a point in terms of food security that we cannot afford to squabble over issues of the past. Alaska once produced 100% of what was consumed in the territory 80 years ago, and now it produces less than 5%. Thank you for presenting yourself in such a manner that shows you do have an understanding of what you’re talking about. Please accept my apology. Also, the farmers in Alaska should seriously consider regenerative methods for farming and ranching, given the concerns about environmental impact and supply chain issues.

@@farmerjoe1801 Thanks for apologizing and clarifying your position. I'm sorry if I was at all difficult to understand or approach in this conversation. Like you said, I think we're on the same page about these issues lol! I agree that we must restore food security quickly yet carefully. Best wishes to you
