We get the weekly produce box here as well as many more locally available items such as hot sauce, honey, spices, meats, fish, and dairy. Lots of local crafts on hand at all times and a FUN place to shop. It's usually super busy and the vibe is amazing.

Super wonderful place to find delicious local produce, art and other treasures! I find something new and beautiful every time I go. Love bringing family and friends who are visiting town here to get locally made treats to remember their Alaskan trip! The produce is also top notch!

Really enjoyed being able to shop at a truly all local store! We were able to get lots of goodies to bring back East with us. Will go back again when we come back to Fairbanks! Wish we had a store like this in our town. Beautifully set up, love how one side was food goods and the other side was all local artist made goodies!

I love having local produce, meats, and other products right on the way home. The store has a great hometown-market feel and the staff always are friendly! I feel good supporting a local woman-owned business that also supports local farmers, artists, and craftspeople. Each time I go in I find something new to try. Thanks for being here for our community!

This place is amazing! First off everything is made/produced in Alaska. They have fresh produce from around the interior, meat and seafood in the freezer, milk from the only licensed dairy farm in Ak, along with other kitchen staples such as honey, pancake mix, meals made for camping, and so much more. They have a selection of Ak based books ❤️ They show case so many talented artists work from paintings, glass art to jewelry.
My only complaint is they don’t have another location across town 😉
If you believe in Alaskan food security/sovereignty, and buying local, this is your spot! If your looking for a great gift for someone, this is it!

Great store with local, seasonal produce. Meat is frozen. Essentially everything you can find at the farmer's market is here.

I love getting souvenirs that are actually made in the place you're visiting. There is such beautiful art here in many different forms, and it's made by locals. This is just what I was looking for!

Recently visited and got the best earrings (& stickers) & carrots EVER!! Jewell was an absolute pleasure, she had extensive local knowledge of Alaska grown & made products!

I do not know how to rate this because the local fresh produce is wonderful and reasonably priced, but there are many items I'd describe as indulgent presents. To be fair, most of these things are handcrafted and unique, but I can't wrap my head around spending $25 on a coffee mug, even if it is a one of a kind kiln fired piece of pottery art as well as a functional mug.
