Farmers Markets in the Mat-Su Valley | The Mat-Su Alaska

Farmer’s Markets in The Mat-Su

The Matanuska-Susitna Valley is the agricultural heart of the Great Land. Thanks to nearly 20 hours of summer sunlight and fertile glacial soils, our region produces some of the world’s most impressive produce, including the legendary giant vegetables seen at the Alaska State Fair. Our farmers markets are a testament to this bounty, offering a direct connection to the farmers, crafters, and flavor of the Valley.
