Excellent. At nineteen I drove from northern California to Alaska in 1975. Spent a fantastic 9 months doing commercial fishing and residential construction. Didn't stay. Wish I had. Been back many times over the years and have loved every minute. Congratulations on the farming success.
@@indiealaska , It was one of the best trips of my life. Driving up the Al-Can hwy in mid winter in '75 was wild. The hwy was a narrow two lane gravel track covered with 6" of ice and snow. The Laird hot springs were undeveloped except for a wood walk way and deck on one side of the best pond. No dressing rooms. At 10° below we just stripped down and dove in. We had the place to ourselves for two days.
What a beautiful story! Thank you for documenting it and sharing it with all of us. It was so uplifting and inspiring. I am so grateful for all the documentation and work you do! Thank you!
The US department of agriculture , universities with agriculture schools and colleges should reach out to these awesome people that want to make the land work
Tim built his farm with lots of help from the USDA and UAF. All his high tunnels were built with thousands and thousands of dollars of financial assistance and lots of free technical assistance from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. He wouldn’t be there without the USDA, at least not at the size that his business is now.
This would be great in Canada except that Canada Post would charge so much, it would be impossible. But if some other means of transport could be arranged, this could really help a lot of people.
If someone else interested in trying the same...is there a grant to help with costs? Thank you. I think it is great what you are doing and help feeding others to keep others healthy.
Yes. The US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service provides free technical assistance and financial assistance with qualifications for all private land owners who wish to engage in agriculture. Most of Tim’s high tunnels were built with financial assistance from NRCS under the Environmental Quality Incentive Program.
No wait, can we please have an episode explaining how they produce all their food on a large scale. I read a report how they utilise green housing near the river but I wanna know how they plant and all that. Because isn’t the soil still frozen? And if it is, does that mean that they have to import dirt?
Is everyone in Alaska amazing?? every single episode is so good!
I mean......we all are pretty darn cool....just sayin
Excellent.

What model was your car? I was wondering is my 2020 Toyota Corolla could it
@@ladbol521the average car in 1975 is way more unreliable and prone to breakdowns compared to the average car in 2020’s
I'm amazed and inspired.
I've only been in Alaska 10 months or so and I'll never leave.
Great video and story.
Thank you!

Not sure about grants, but the University of Alaska Fairbanks sometimes holds classes about gardening and growing food in the arctic.

Real Pilots can make everything...!😂 First they have to read a book HowtoBasic aand then they do all as the professionals 😄 even betterrr 🤩
Facts!

It sounds like they are on a very fertile river delta. The salmon literally fertilize entire forests, and also the soil there.
@@LoanwordEggcorn interesting
Right? Do they own a fleet or something?
how are you getting crops to grow in winter?
Hot house
how many acres is the farm?
Wonder if he is still farming?
As of Dec 2024, yes.
I feel like Alaska would be a perfect place to make good booze
