Alaska Grown Program

The Alaska Grown program is a state programme to raise consumer awareness and consumption of Alaska agricultural products. Businesses are encouraged to use the Alaska Grown logo with sales of Alaska-grown farm products.[1]

Purpose

The programme promotes local farm products as part of Alaska’s food and fibre marketing system. The Alaska agriculture industry created the logo to identify Alaska-grown products, and use is encouraged on local packaging for vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, nursery products, honey, furs and wool.[1]

Who can take part

Producers, wholesalers, retailers and the media can use the logo artwork, and a member application is available from the Division of Agriculture. Retailers are encouraged to create point-of-sale materials that identify local products.[1]

Food products must be 100 percent locally grown, except processed items that need some condiments or spices, which must have at least 75 percent Alaska-grown content.[1]
