Dearest Alaska: Harvest
This month’s episode of Dearest Alaska follows the agricultural pilot program Pilgrim Produce at Pilgrim Hot Springs, managed by Unaatuq, LLC.
While KNOM joins BSNC employees Tasha Lee and Dan Martinson as the season approaches its end, you’ll see there’s still plenty of work left to be done!
