Henderson Farm: Alaska's Local Produce Revolution

Henderson Farm in Haines, Alaska, is revolutionizing local food production by transforming an empty field into a thriving garden. Funded by Ecotrust and managed by Liz Landez, the farm has already harvested over one thousand pounds of fresh produce this season, addressing a critical need for locally grown food in Southeast Alaska. The farms produce, which includes kale, pumpkins, and fava beans, is shared within the community, either in exchange for volunteer work or given away for free. Landez aims to expand the growing area and recruit more volunteers, with a personal goal of making an all-Alaska gumbo using her okra crop. DNN | The Daily News Now!
