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?

the experience. You can make a day of it. Combine it with a trip to the State
