Global Food Collaborative

A long-time friend who has lived on the Kenai Peninsula for the past 45 years, sighed with joy when she heard of the 1/2 day site tour.     One of her favorites is The Trinity Greenhouse where she declares it is "Food For Your Soul" and an outstanding location for a coffee break to take in some beauty.    

If setnet fisheries, brewing, berry growing or commercial seafood processing or agri-tourism is your thing, please consider joining the tour.     Along the way, guests will have an opportunity to hear more about the history of the Kenai Landing (All Alaska Dinner Venue), the original site of the 1912 Libby, McNeill & Libby cannery.
