We have a strong agricultural community here in Alaska. The Palmer area has many farmers, and one great farm puts on a strawberry festival every year. This is a fun event for the whole family, right in the height of the summer.

Every year during the strawberry crop, Pyrah's Pioneer Peak Farm hosts a fabulous festival.
