Sitkalidak Sunrise Farm

Sitkalidak Sunrise Farm is a farm that is dedicated to serving the community of Old Harbor. Our farm boasts an impressive array of features including 3 hoop houses, one of which is entirely hydroponic, outdoor raised beds, potato towers, and a 72-apple tree orchard. We are proud to say that all of the food grown on our farm is distributed at no cost to our Elders and community members. We believe that it is our duty to provide fresh, healthy produce to those who need it most, and are committed to doing so with passion and dedication.

Around the Farm

Apple Orchard

Welcome to our orchard! We are excited to share that we have recently planted 72 apple trees and can't wait for the day when we can harvest bushels and bushels of delicious apples. We are nurturing our young trees and providing the best care possible to ensure a bountiful harvest in the future. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!

Hydroponics

Great news! Our farm is equipped with three hoop houses that help us grow free food. One of the hoops we have is hydroponics that can accommodate up to 1500 plants at once, which is where we get the majority of our deliveries. Thanks to these resources, we are able to provide fresh and healthy produce to our customers.

Youth Involvement

At our school, we start our seed starts with the youth. We host a spring planting festival where kids can plant in soil and hydroponic trays. During the summer, we hold day camps where the youth tend to the plants, weed, water, and harvest goods. In the fall, we invite the youth and community to our fall harvesting festival for fun, food, and harvesting. Join us in cultivating a love for gardening and community!

Seasonal Workers and Internships

Our dedicated staff is made up of community members and youth interns who are hired seasonally to maintain the grounds, thanks to the generous support of the Old Harbor Native Corporation. We take pride in providing opportunities for local youth to gain valuable work experience while beautifying our community.
