"reviving self-sufficiency through regenerative agriculture"
Our Farm
Since purchasing land in Alaska in 2002 with $5000 scrounged together from working a cold, dark winter ski mountaineering trip, Allie and Jed (2000-2022) put their hearts, souls, blood and a few tears into creating a small scale, off-grid homestead and farm. In 2010, after a decade of living primarily off the land, Allie began to lead the charge in farming after deciding to produce on a different scale and commit to farming, nutrition, making ferments, and putting up food “full time”. Allie and Jed separated in 2022 and Allie has been running the farm solo since.

We are probably outside chopping wood, broad-forking, turning compost, tending to animals, out for a ski, running the sawmill or stoking the woodstove…. but we want to hear from you! Contact us with any questions or inquiries and we will be happy to answer! Visit our shop online to view all our products!
Why Buy Local?
At Chugach Farm we know how much food can be grown on a small piece of land. Growing nutrient-dense, clean, non-GMO, chemical-free food is what we do. As Alaskans, we know that local food is more nutritious, tastes better, supports the local economy and keeps our communities strong.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to enable personal health and wellness through herbal medicine, food as medicine and energy efficiency. To adopt food storage methods that maintain years of food without fossil fuel. To develop energy efficient farming methods and tool hacks as a model for others to live luxuriously with less.
Real Benefits of Supporting Local Agriculture:
Reduce your carbon footprint, support the local economy, promote the stability of local farms, encourage local government policies to support local farms, enjoy better tasting meals, eat fresher by far, consume more nutritious food and many more benefits.
