Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!
These are the only U-pick / Pick-your-own / pyo
farms I've heard of in Alaska! They seem to mostly have vegetables.
If any has any more information, please email me!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!
These are the only PYO's I could find in
Alaska. Does anyone have any first-hand information about them or others?

This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother
used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here! Features:
