    Leah Corbin and Kelly Marciales from Spring Creek Farm join host Ken Hoffman on Ag Matters.

    They discussed some of the programs run at the farm. The Tilth program helps farmers by purchasing seconds and "ugly vegetables," which are then distributed to local food banks or food programs. The Food Forest takes food that grows and is foraged on the trails and makes it easier to access. Contact Alex Wilson, Agriculture Education Coordinator, agwilson@alaskapacificuniversity.edu, for information about farm days and student tours.

    Mike Jipping from Beach Tribe Soda Works joins host Ken Hoffman on Ag Matters.

    Beach Tribe Soda Works started in 2017. Mike saw a need for a non- alcoholic beverage with less sugar and more adult flavors. The Original Jipping Ginger Beer is a Cold-Pressed Ginger, Lemon, Habanero, and Raw Honey drink. It was their first product and is still their most popular flavor. Beach Tribe Soda Works also creates juices that are only sold at the South Anchorge Farmers Market. The flavors change every week and season as they use the fruit, vegetables, and herbs that are available at the farmer's market.
