Harvesting Alaska: History at Port Alsworth garden grows along with community

The story of Alaska food has some deep roots in places like Port Alsworth, a town of about 200 on the eastern shores of Lake Clark. Today, it’s part of the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve - about an hour’s flight southwest of Anchorage.
The community was originally homesteaded by a bush pilot, Leon “Babe” Alsworth and his wife, Mary.
To feed their growing family, they planted a garden right next to a gravel airstrip, where they ran an air taxi operation, which later grew into a lodge and flightseeing business.
That was almost 70 years ago.

I had the privilege of buying several boxes of veggies from this garden, tried to get more and they had run out. So, if you want them, and they are great, get them soon after harvest.
