The market was established in 2023, with the help of the Alaska Farmers’ Market Association and grant funding through the Mat-Su Health Foundation, to aid in the development and growth of the Matanuksa Valley’s small-scale, diversified agricultural production and direct farmer/producer to consumer sales by:

Being an outlet for small scale producers to reach community members

Providing community members with access to sustainably, naturally and locally/Alaska grown, produced, and foraged foods

Increase fresh food access to underserved and low-income individuals and families

Foster farmer and consumer education and relationships

Build community
