Alaska Grown has been around for more than 30 years and is a program supported by the Alaska Division of Agriculture. The agriculture industry in Alaska created the Alaska Grown logo to highlight products grown in Alaska, and to help consumers identify which products are local.
Our Vision:
- That everyone has access to Alaska Grown food and farm products.
- That all Alaskan Farmers have a reliable market.
- That every person, business, and organization know their role.

This will include radio advertising, print advertising, social media campaigns, marketing materials, a feature in the Alaska restaurant directory app, and a specially designed Restaurant Recognition logo for use in each restaurant. What we ask for in return is some reporting on what produce you buy, in what quantity, from whom, and how many menu items you serve local produce in, among a few other questions.
