Alaska, the land of the midnight sun! Our great state has some fantastic farms that we can visit. We’re known for everything from our giant pumpkins and cabbage, to some of the largest peonies in the world. One farm that’s always a favorite for people of all ages to visit is our unique and interesting reindeer farms. There’s a couple in the state, but Williams Reindeer Farm in Palmer, Alaska is a fast favorite for those wanting to pet and feed the reindeer!
