Sure, they see the finished product. The shiny shelf display. The perfect pour. The “how do they make it look so easy?” moment.
What they don’t see:
❄️ The late nights
❄️ The big ideas scribbled on coffee sleeves
❄️ The sacrifices (yes, even missing out on that first snow)
❄️ The fear, the doubt, and the what ifs
Alaska small business owners aren’t just running a shop, they’re running a marathon on ice, in the dark, uphill both ways… and still smiling for customers.
So next time you shop local? Know you’re supporting a whole lot more than a transaction. You’re backing the dreamers, the doers, and the ones willing to mush through the Iditarod of hustle to bring you something worth loving.

✨Member Moment Monday✨
This Monday is brought to you by our favorite Alaska State Fair finds! Year after year, these are the businesses you can expect to see right alongside the barn animals and gigantic veggies.
Divine Dips: They’ve been serving Alaska’s sweetest frozen treats for four decades and they’re STILL dipping strong. Ice cream, floats, bacon… need we say more? 💙
Color Me Fun: Face painting, glitter tattoos, and party magic that will provide a surefire way to stand out at the fair! 🎨
Bushes Bunches Stand: Alaskan Grown produce, local eats, and good vibes only. Because you need something to chomp on for the drive from the fair. 🥕
Alaska Rug Company: Turning retired fishing rope into rugs, baskets, and nautical home décor since 2010. They’re knot your average home goods! (Sorry. We had to.) 🪢
And be sure to check out our directory for even MORE Alaskan owned businesses across the state (both at the fair and beyond!) www.buyalaska.com
💚 Shopping local isn’t just about the stuff (even though we really REALLY love the stuff). It’s about the stories, the faces, and the connections that make Alaska stronger.
So we gotta know... what`s ONE thing you love about shopping local that has nothing to do with the product itself? ⬇️
We’ll go first: the smile you get when the small‑biz owner at that local coffee spot remembers your name AND drink order. Literal perfection.🙌

☀️ July in Alaska: when you’re running on caffeine, patience, and pure Alaskan-made grit.
Yes, you’re open. It`s summer. You`re always open.
Yes, you’re BUSY. So. Busy you have a mountain of laundry bigger than Denali.
And no, you don’t have time to explain that the moose milk they heard about on the cruise ship isn`t actually a thing. 🫎
But you`re doing it anyway.
If you`re an Alaskan business owner surviving the summer chaos with a smile (or attempting to) we want you to know we see you. 💚
