Episode 216 - Alaska's Mantanuska Valley   addthis
In a special themed show, we travel to Alaska to learn about an historic experiment in farming that brought settlers from all across America and Canada to open up Alaska’s Matanuska Valley. Then, thanks to summer days lasting almost 24 hours, farmers grow incredibly large vegetables that are the wonder of the world. We also travel to the Alaska State Fair for a very “big” display.
