In February 2024, an initial planning meeting was held with 15 local agency representatives and interior Alaska producers to design a 2025 Interior Farm Forum. The group outlined the need for a forum that is targeted to interior Alaska where farmers, producers and service providers can came together and share information and ideas pertinent to farming in the interior. Efforts are underway to make this event a reality in spring 2025.

The group identified the desire from local producers for an event that offers a mix of formal presentations with time for idea sharing and education to include facilitated discussion of community needs such as shared infrastructure, equipment transportation/processing and access to supplies, as well as funding opportunities including grants, affordable loans and writing assistance.
