The Mat-Su/Copper River District of the Cooperative Extension Service is a goldmine of information, classes, and hands on training for agriculture, gardening, insects, invasive species, 4-H, FFA, emergency preparedness, nutrition, cooking & preserving food, money management and more! The Experimental Farm in Palmer is part of the extension service. Check out their Locally Grown Resource Guide (Link under page title) for an up to date listing of local farms offering flowers, produce, honey, meat, milk, and hay for sale, and where you can purchase them to support our community.
