On Tuesday, August 18th, Alaska Farmland Trust will host an EqualiTEA in Palmer to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote across the United States. Alaska also boasts the highest percentage of female farmers in the nation, at 47%. We will honor some of Palmers’ female farmers as well.
Alaska Farmland Trust is a 501c3 non-profit based in Palmer that works to permanently protect Alaska’s’ valuable agricultural soils. Since its founding in 2005, the organization has protected just under 400 acres of Alaska’s finest and most productive properties.
Alaska Farmland Trust is reliant on individual donations and fundraising through our signature events to raise the funds necessary to complete our mission.
EqualiTEA will take place at Carol Kenley’s legendary garden on Palmer Fishhook Road from 5:00pm - 7:30pm on Tuesday, August 18th. The event will take place outside, under the cover of tents, regardless of weather. Ticket sales are limited to allow for social distancing and safe practices.
Attendees will enjoy hot and cold teas, delicious sandwiches and finger foods featuring Alaska Grown products, Sweetie Pie Fried Pies and a prize for the best hat. Wear your symbolic suffragette white dress or your favorite tea party attire: xtratufs or heels – anything goes!
