Alaska's capital city sits between steep coastal mountains and Gastineau Channel with nearby Mendenhall Glacier and dense temperate rainforest. The dramatic landscape includes numerous waterfalls, limited flat land, and a road system constrained by mountains and water.
Urban agriculture and small farms operate in the limited available land with greenhouse production, market gardens, and community gardens serving the capital city. Operations focus on high-value crops and direct marketing to restaurants and farmers markets, taking advantage of the relatively stable population.
