And you know what that means… it’s time to show them exactly why we put up with all the snow and rain.
Besties, we know you’re not dragging them to a chain.
You’re taking them where the sourdough bread slaps, the handmade goods sparkle, and the owner knows your name AND your dog’s.
Because we know you know that local business is where it’s at in every Alaskan town. They keep our communities weird, wonderful, and working. And best of all? They’re helping build the kind of Alaska that makes all the snow totally worth it.

Let’s hype the folks who deserve it.

This Father’s Day, skip the sad socks and “#1 Dad” mugs.
Shop local for the man who grilled salmon in sideways rain, chased a bear off the porch in Crocs, and still sends you “did you make it home?” texts even though you’re 37 and have a Subaru.
That guy deserves something Alaskan, awesome, and way less lame than a tie he’ll never wear.
Visit our dad-approved directory at https://buyalaska.com/fathers-day/ to find something that`ll bump you up to "favorite child" status.

🚨 Not All Heroes Have a Driver’s License 🚨
Some of them are building businesses, organizing food drives, running fundraisers, and making handmade jewelry. Oh yeah, and they do it all before dinner.
Kids these days? They’re not just the future. They’re the now. And they`re sort of crushing it, yeah? That’s why we’re teaming up to spotlight the next generation of Alaskan heroes:
💥 Alaska Communications’ Summer of Heroes celebrates youth who are making a difference in their communities. Nominate a young hero by June 13th and they could receive a $2,000 scholarship and community recognition. (Check out the link in the @alaskacomm bio to nominate!)
💼 And if they’ve got a business license and a side hustle with main character energy? We want them in the BuyAlaska Business Directory. Think beadwork, lawn care, cupcakes, candles. Literally whatever they’re building, we’re here to boost it. Visit the link in our bio, and have select “youth-owned business” on the intake form when they sign up as a member.
Let’s cheer our youth on, show them off, and give them the platform they’ve more than earned. Because when young people succeed, so does Alaska. 💪

✨ MEMBER MOMENT MONDAY ✨
This week, we’re scouting out some fantastic picks Father’s Day!
🪚 For the Dad Who’s Built Different:
@againstthegrainwoodshop turns local birch into heirloom goods, inspired by a Hawaiian woodshop legacy. Crafted in Talkeetna with skill, style, and serious sawdust vibes.
🧂 For the Dad Who’s a Little Bit Salty:
@pwssalt is ocean-harvested, mineral-rich, and packed in eco-friendly packaging. Bold, natural flavor straight from Alaska’s deep blue.
🪓 For the Dad Who’s Axe-tra Legendary:
@lumberchaunaxethrowing in downtown Skagway is where Dad can unleash his inner lumberjack. Axes, laughs, and full Alaskan vibes just steps from the cruise docks.
🌶️ For the Dad Who Can Handle the Heat:
@buzzedbeehotsauce blends Alaskan honey, bourbon, and Carolina Reaper heat into a sweet, smoky, spicy Raspberry BBQ sauce that levels up anything on his plate.
Not quite your dad’s flavor? No problem. Explore over a thousand Alaskan-owned businesses at www.buyalaska.com to find the perfect fit. 💙

Get in, loser. We’re going shopping (for rhubarb).
Unlike that one girl on TikTok who gatekept her shoes (you know the one), we spill everything.
That fireweed jelly? Right next to the guy with a sourdough starter older than the Alaska state flag. That hot sauce that doubles as a personality test? Locally made. Wildly affordable. Probably comes in five heat levels, from “Anchorage mild” to “Interior wildfire.”
Because in Alaska, when we find something good, we tell people. That’s the whole point of shopping local. Nothing says love like buying handmade pickles from someone’s grandma who calls everyone “sweetheart.”
Don`t know where your nearest market it? Head over to @alaskafarmersmarkets and check out their directory!

Alaska’s bakeries are doing more than cookies and cupcakes. 🧁
We’re talking fireweed jelly tarts, ube muffins, and sourdough older than your uncle.
No matter where you are in the state, we’re betting there’s a bakery nearby whipping up something so good, you’d hike five miles for it. Uphill, both ways, in XTRATUFs.
So go find it.
Eat it.
Brag about it. (Seriously. Name drop them in the comments. We want to know.)
We’re calling it #SweetToothSummer and you’re invited.
