August 14, 2011 Peonies are all harvested, shipped and our season is over.
It has been an incredible year as a grower, buyer and seller of Alaskan peonies. A huge thank you to those who ordered - we hope you were pleasantly surprised by the flowers in the 'Alaskan Grown' boxes. A thank you also to the four other producers who joined us - you are producing a quality product and we look forward to shipping your stems next year! If you are a grower in Interior Alaska and would like to sell through us, please call or drop us an email to discuss details. We are interested in smaller growers as well as those of you with a few more in the ground!
Buyers - we have sold out for the 2011 season. If you are interested in receiving our spring email with availability, please contact us at polarpeonies@acsalaska.net or call Carolyn at 907-590-1707 (please remember we are 4 hours behind US East Coast Time so 8 a.m. in New York is 4 a.m. in Fairbanks).
