Alaska is a unique environment, we eat allot of fresh Salmon and Halibut that we catch. We harvest our berries and rhubarb here and and eat local organic farm veggies straight from the farmer that lives nearby. We also eat organic Moose, and caribou, and local beef. Maria bakes every morning and makes a large homecooked meal. We all eat together at 9:30 am. We have lived in Alaska many years. Our sons are commercial fisherman and we have plenty of life experiences to share. The town of Homer is a quaint fishing town with large population of artists. Homer is known for its great food here, and fun activities, such as hiking, kayaking, beach combing, art galleries and shops.
