A young farmer gives a tour of her family's Pratt farm in Alaska's Matsu Valley near Palmer, explaining how they raise livestock including Highland cows, boar goats, and Suffolk cross sheep, and sell directly to the community through a farm-to-table model. She discusses Alaska's food security challenges, noting the state imports 95% of its food, and describes her daily chores and her supervised agricultural experience (SAE) projects involving breeding and market animals. She also shares her aspiration to study biochemistry to make sustainable agriculture more accessible to small farms, crediting FFA competitions like Vet Science for hands-on skills she applies on the farm.
