Letter From the President

Welcome to the Alaska Farm Bureau Family. Farming in Alaska has always been about family, and we want you to feel welcome, feel heard, and most importantly, feel that you are not alone as you navigate your farm or ranch business. If you’re concerned, like we are, about creating an Alaska that can support itself, we invite you to join us as a member. Alaska Farm Bureau is the largest agriculture-related organization in the State of Alaska. We are here to support Alaska growers regardless of the product grown or method of production.  Alaska agriculture affects us all. Join the Alaska Farm Bureau and take a stand for Alaska agriculture.
