Tanana Valley Farmer's Market

If anyone thinks Fairbanks has no local-grown hope...you are totally wrong and probably glad to be. This Farmer's Market is an impressive bustling mix of local farmers and creators. In fact, it's bursting its seams. It needs waaaay more parking and waaaay more open space. I'm giving it 5 stars because how can you not be impressed by a huge array of local creators and growers in a far-away cold arid isolated place like Fairbanks? The local farmers manage to eek out precious sustenance from this unlikely northern place. Only 3 months of growth means these people are hard-working folk who aren't doing this for the glory. I thank you! And I can't wait to see you in June! (I only worry that I won't be able to find a parking space, or that I will expire in the heat and car exhaust because of heavy traffic on College Road. But either way, I will be there and do my best to support local growers.)
