Talkeetna Reindeer and Foraging Homestead Experience

Reindeer, foraging, sub-arctic homesteading, bunny therapy, and gourmet snacks, all in an idyllic Alaskan setting. Where else are you going to get up close and personal with such magical, majestic, and peaceful creatures such as reindeer?! You'll walk this beautiful creature through this regenerative, Alaskan homestead and perhaps get inspired to be more self-sufficient and resilient yourself. And finally, you'll be able to taste the essences of the boreal forest in our gourmet snacks you'll be served that have been locally foraged in Alaska, mostly from our very own homestead. Come witness the beauty, biology, abundance, and ecology at The Reindeer Grove!

In this tour you'll experience our regenerative, Alaskan homestead with our lovely REINDEER, boisterous livestock guardian dogs, cute bunnies, and our artistic community cabin.
You'll likely be greeted at your vehicle by our livestock guardian dogs, Zeke and Hugo, who will be happy to escort you to the cabin to start the tour, in exchange for a some pets and snuggles.
There'll be a short introduction to the history of our property the story of how we got here. We'll then head outside to meet our incredible reindeer - Sophie, Phoebe, and Lars, who will grace our journey as we wind through our beautiful homestead and private nature trails, learning all about foraging in this unique ecosystem dubbed the boreal forest.

We'll then take it down a few notches by meeting and holding (if you wish) one of our cute little bunnies. Bunny therapy is proven to help decrease stress, anxiety, depression, and blood pressure, and generally bring a big smile to just about anyone's face!

We’ll conclude our tour back in the cabin where we'll nibble on a few of our favorite homesteading snacks and drink tea made from the plants we just experienced.
