"Relating to promoting Alaska grown produce and food products to the visitor industry through the Fresher By Far program. "

The Fresher By Far program is being established to promote Alaska grown produce and food products to the visitor industry. Alaska growers and food manufactures proudly provide a rich and diverse array of quality products. It is the intent of the Fresher By Far program to bring together the Division of Agriculture, farmers and related farm associations, processors, seafood processors, distributors, the visitor industry, and restaurants and related culinary support associations to provide visitors to the State of Alaska with wholesome, quality Alaska produce and products.

By simply shifting the buying preferences of the visitor industry, the Fresher By Far program will ensure that visitors to the State of Alaska experience the freshest produce and products grown and manufactured throughout the state. Additionally, the Fresher By Far program will provide an additional market for farmers and producers in the state to sell their goods. All of which makes this an exciting win-win program for everyone involved.
