The Palmer Farm and Food Tours offer two tour opportunities from June 15-September 15, 2019 season. In less than three generations, historic Palmer, Alaska transformed from a remote outpost to a bustling rural town. Journey with our guides as they take you on the history of farming and food on our three farm tour in Palmer, Alaska. Experience how Alaskans lived then and now and the challenges they have faced in growing food for our communities. Vistors to Palmer have a unique opportunity to visit three local farms, delight in an Alaskan grown meal, learn about local urban farming and visit a local farm stand to get the complete picture of Alaskan farming from field-to market-to fork. Alternatively, you can choose to go to a brewery for the afternoon tour after visiting two farms. We are very flexible, so call in advance of booking if you don't see a tour option fit for you and your schedule.
