A Walk in the Woods with Reindeer

$200/hour on-site, $300/hour off-site

Experience our one-of-a-kind arctic homestead with our lovely REINDEER and our historic cabin with its fabled ceiling murals that have been dubbed, “The Sistine Chapel of Alaska”! We’ll wind through our private nature trails observing, smelling, feeling, tasting, and learning all about this unique ecosystem and its edible and medicinal treasures with our ‘deer, Sophie and Phoebe! Then we’ll finish up in our beautiful cabin consuming our favorite homesteading goodies. We’ll first meet the ‘deer and learn all about this mysterious creature of the arctic. They’ll guide us through our cultivated homestead and natural boreal forest, as we sift through the many edible and medicinal plants. Depending on the season, here’s what you may encounter: Chaga mushroom on a slowly dying birch tree. Labrador tea to enjoy at the end of the tour. Devil’s Club, visually intimidating, but is also edible and medicinal. Plump black currants. Trembling aspen and their fragrant poplar buds. We’ll conclude our tour in the cabin where we’ll nibble on an array of homesteading snacks and drink tea made from the plants we just experienced, and also learn about some of our preservation techniques.
