The Alaska Grown logo has become one of the most iconic visual representations of Alaska pride – since its introduction in 1986, the sweatshirts, tee shirts, hats and other gear imprinted with the distinctive blue, yellow and green logo have become shorthand for the wearer’s pride in all things Alaska.
But the program is more than just a logo on a tee shirt. The Alaska Grown program, which is administered by the State of Alaska’s Division of Agriculture, markets fruits, vegetables, meats and aquaculture that were grown in Alaska to help support the state’s agricultural industry. As more and more residents, visitors, chefs and foodies embrace the local food movement, the Alaska Grown certification has earned a reputation as the easiest and most consumer-friendly way to support local agriculture in Alaska.
Alaska’s farmer’s markets are a one-stop shop for visitors looking for all things Alaska Grown. Markets are spread throughout the state, and some stay open year-round.
