This Veterans Day, let’s give a shoutout to the amazing veteran-owned businesses in Alaska! From thrilling adventures to unique handcrafted goodies, this Member Moment Monday is full of entrepreneurs who serve up serious local flair. Support their amazing offerings and show some love for those who’ve given so much for our freedom!
@rodsalaskanguideservice is a family-run adventure company based in North Pole—and they’re all about the thrill! Specializing in snowmobiling, dog sledding, ice fishing, aurora viewing, and hunting, Rod’s team knows how to bring the wild Alaskan experience to life. Ready for an unforgettable adventure? They’ve got you covered! ❄️ 🏔️
@arkosebrewery : Beer at its Best! After a day of tackling the Mat-Su wilderness, nothing hits like a cold one at their taproom. Open year-round (summer beer garden included!), they’ve got up to 16 beers on tap, non-alcoholic options, plus bottles, growlers, and merch to take home—or gift, if you’re feeling generous. 🍻🍺
@elisdyes is all about spreading happiness, one hand-dyed piece at a time. Founded by Eli, a tie-dye enthusiast with a love for positive vibes, adventure, and all things colorful, each item is uniquely crafted to celebrate individuality. Starting with a few fairs in Alaska and growing into a nationwide road trip, Eli’s mission is simple: bring a little more peace, love, and joy to the world. ✌️🌈
Since 2008, @denalihempcompany has been creating healing salves, goat milk soaps, herbal teas, and more using locally sourced Alaskan ingredients. As a Native-owned business, they draw inspiration from the wisdom of their elders to craft the finest remedies foraged right outside your door. Their “Extreme Alaskan” line shows that relief from skin irritations can be both effective and a touch of luxury. Who knew healing could feel this good? 🌲 🌱

🧡 Celebrate Native-Owned Businesses! 🧡
Alaska is home to over 229 tribes—and a vibrant community of Native-owned businesses from tribes both in and outside of Alaska! This November, we’re honoring Native entrepreneurs who bring heart, culture, and resilience to our state. From art to outdoor gear, these businesses keep traditions alive and enrich Alaska’s unique spirit. Shop Native, shop local, and support them year-round! 🌲

💡 What is the Local Multiplier Effect?
When you spend locally, your dollar does more than just pay for goods or services. It powers a chain of benefits within the community! Every dollar spent at a locally-owned business gets reinvested through wages, supplies, and services—strengthening the entire economy.
For example, when a local café sources bread from a nearby bakery or hires a local graphic designer, that money stays circulating in the community. This ripple effect boosts employment, supports other small businesses, and enriches the local economy.
✨ Why It Matters for Alaska:
Given Alaska’s geographical distance, every dollar we spend locally becomes even more impactful. Supporting Alaskan businesses fuels job creation, keeps wealth in the state, and encourages new businesses to grow.
By choosing to shop local, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in your community`s future.
