We are excited to announce that A&P is carrying our locally grown fresh herbs!

We have Italian Basil, and Thai Basil being sold as a living plant, just like our lettuce. With the root ball still attached you will get much more longevity on the fresh herbs you purchase. We also suggest not refrigerating the Basil and Thai Basil. Those plants do best at room temperature.

The dill however, does enjoy the cool temps of your refrigerator.

Stay tuned for more products coming soon! We have more locally grown produce coming your way!

Did you know that butterhead lettuce is a source of Vitamin A and K?

Vitamin A is important for eye health and helps reduce the risk of cataracts. Vitamin K helps strengthen bones and reduces the risk of bone fractures.

Butterhead also contains higher amounts of iron than other lettuces.

We grow 2 delicious varieties of butterhead lettuces, Rex and Mirlo. You purchase from us on our website.

These beauties will be ready for harvest next week! We have three growing pods at our farm on N Tongass, each on a three week cycle, meaning we're able to harvest a full crop of 3600 heads of lettuce every week.

We offer all our lettuce with the root system intact. Selling and donating the plants as Living Lettuce means they stay fresh longer than cut greens, giving you much more time to enjoy them before they go bad.

You can order our mixed lettuce at outpostag.square.store

Here at Outpost Agriculture we grow several types of lettuces. This type of lettuce is called Newham, and is in the romaine family.

Romaine lettuces are high in folate, potassium, antioxidants, and vitamins A and K, which are all important for skin, eye, and immune health.

You can purchase our lettuce mix on our square storefront for pickup at the farm on N Tongass.

Our goal at Outpost Agriculture is to bring fresh produce to all of Ketchikan.

Providing produce to those who can afford it is not our only goal. A portion of every weekly harvest will be given to local organizations. We want everyone in Ketchikan to have access to this nutrient rich resource.

We have already given to Ketchikan Homeless Shelter, KIC, Rendezvous, and the Salvation Army.

Do you know of another organization in town that would help our neighbors have access to nutrient rich food? If so please let us know.

We will be donating a portion of every weekly harvest to people who wouldn’t otherwise have access to our products.

We will also be selling to multiple sources such as grocery stores, direct sale company’s, and restaurants in town. We can also sell directly to consumer.

If you are interested in buying directly from us check out our store at www.outpostag.square.site

Meet the Station Chief of Outpost Agriculture- Revilla Station, Jenn Tucker.

Her background is eclectic, but she has found a home at Outpost Agriculture.

“I’m a 19-year resident of Ketchikan, my husband grew up here, and we are raising three children here, ages 19, 18, and 15.

My family loves food. We share everything over our nightly dinners: the best part of our day, the worst part of our day, and one new thing we have learned each day.

The food we eat while sharing our days is important to me. I strive to serve the highest quality food to nourish my family. Often times in Alaska that means wild, and foraged food is the best. There have been years where we have eaten only wild game meat, and supplement much of our fruit and vegetables with foraged Alaskan foods.

However, we as Alaskans need more than what we can get here. We need to foster ways for us to have food sustainability outside of shipping.

Working with Outpost Agriculture helps me, not only provide for my family, but all of Ketchikan.

Cooking for people is how I show love. Not only for my family, but for others. I love nothing more than to cook for people and share the bounty I’m able to get from this amazing place Alaska.

I can now add fresh greens, grown right here in Ketchikan to my family’s menu, and all the community’s menus.

I’m proud to work for a company with the same ideals as I have. Balancing sustainability with our local needs.

Working for Outpost Agriculture has provided me with work I love, as well as giving back to my community.”

We are thrilled to have you on the team, Jenn! 🤩🙌🏼
