Venue: Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Headquarters, 2100 S Knik-Goose Bay Road, Wasilla, Alaska
Type: Honey Fair
Wasilla — the Matanuska-Susitna Borough city at the heart of Alaska's most productive agricultural valley — occupies a landscape of glacially flattened terrain that supports Alaska's most intensive farming, where beekeepers leverage extraordinary summer day lengths of nearly 20 hours to harvest remarkable volumes of fireweed, sweet clover, boreal wildflower, and Matanuska Valley vegetable blossom honey from apiaries surrounded by the dramatic Alaska Range peaks. This August fair at the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Headquarters grounds celebrates the Mat-Su Valley's remarkable agricultural productivity and pioneering spirit, featuring honey from borough producers, demonstrations of Alaska's unique subarctic beekeeping adaptations for short intensive seasons, displays of record-breaking Matanuska Valley vegetables grown in the same extended-daylight conditions that benefit bees, and educational programs on how climate change is affecting Alaska's beekeeping season length and forage availability.
