he Land of the Midnight Sun has a reputation for producing massive fruits and vegetables, but over the last few years more and more Alaskans have been looking for local options for every-day-portioned fruits, vegetables, and meats. Alaska’s agriculture industry has fluctuated since its boom during colonization in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, but today is enjoying support from programs such as the $5/Week Challenge issued by the Division of Agriculture’s Alaska Grown Program, which encourages Alaskans to spend just $5 per week from June through October on Alaska produce.

The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts hundreds of surveys every year about the agriculture industry; we’ve selected some of the most up-to-date data about Alaska agriculture to present here.
