Welcome to the Fairbanks Tanana valley Farmers Market.
Established in the early 70's as a way to develop and promote agriculture, horticulture in Alaska and to provide quality produce products to the public, the Tanana Valley Farmers Market showcases a variety of Alaska Grown products and plants as well as Made in Alaska products. TVFM is the oldest established farmers market in Alaska and the only one located in its own permanent building.
2008 Season Opening Day is May 10, 2008
Market Hours
Wednesday's 11AM - 4PM
Saturday's 9AM - 4PM
With a growing season that extends from April to September, and with a little help from that famous 24 hour sunshine in the summer months, we have an outstanding bumper crop of everything from rhubarb, asparagus, beans, beef, beets, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, dairy products, flowers, grains, herbs, hay, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, peas, pork, spinach, squash, strawberries and much more.
You can also find some of the most mouth watering baked goods, wild berry jams and jellies anywhere. Fresh homemade ice cream, sugar corn, fresh made to order sandwiches and espresso, fresh meats and sausage, native handicrafts, jewelry and pottery, artwork, baskets, clothing, wildflower honey (delicious) as well as fresh flower bouquets are all waiting to be discovered
While we have to depend on the grocery stores for our fresh produce in the winter, and that quality is sometimes lacking, summer produce from the Tanana Valley Farmers Market is outstanding. Are you new to Fairbanks? This a great way for our new military families to sample a little bit of everything Fairbanks has to offer in one fell swoop.
Located on College Road, east of the Fairgrounds (Aurora Drive), the market is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

All we need is another few days of this great weather and we'll be doing a little planting of our own. I do like the new look too.
Jesse, you did jump out! Way to go and I really like it! What a beautiful scene. So, what kind of trees are those? I use to know I think but I'm afraid to guess.
How are you feeling? Much better I do hope. That last buckle was really scary. You take care of yourself...and kathy too!

Jesse, I know what you mean about that 24/7 sunshine there in Alaska during the summer. I must say that the summers are fast and intense up there. I noticed that she changed your picture -- looks good!
Jesse: That sounds really great. I sure wish I had something like that close by. I have to make do with Krogers... which isn't all that bad... but nothing I am sure like a Farmer's Market. Take care... thanks for sharing.
Just a few more days and the snow will be all gone.
We haven't seen snow all season long and hopefully we won't. Enjoy the market.
Great post! I haven't been to a Farmer's Market in Anchorage - there is the market down by Ship Creek but I didn't see any garden items. Will have to look when I am up there. The apt complex the sweetie lives in has "pea patches" they allow people to grow in.
Hi Jesse & Kathy,
Yummy, makes my mouth water just reading about all this good stuff. Sounds like a great variety is available.
