Welcome to Chena Hot Springs Resort “Chena Fresh” greenhouses.Here you’ll find:

8 a year-round production greenhouse entirely run on geothermal energy

8 a collaboration that integrates business innovation with the most up-to-date scientific findings

8 cutting-edge horticulture research focusing on hydroponics and production management

8 public education and outreach about Alaska agriculture

and of course, fresh, tasty vegetables!

The round-the-clock daylight that interior Alaska experiences in the summer can be advantageous or challenging for farmers, researchers, and horticulturists. On the other hand, there are times in the winter when the sun barely peeks over the horizon, making greenhouse growing particularly difficult. As Alaska strives to become more sustainable we must accept these challenges and take advantage of the opportunities.

This endeavor is a collaboration involving Chena Hot Springs Resort (CHSR) and the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences (SNRAS). CHSR is working toward becoming a self-sustaining community, and an important part of making this vision a reality is to strive for greater independence in food production. The crops grown in the greenhouse along with other Alaska Grown produce are featured in the on-site restaurant. In an effort to ensure continuous future supplies of Alaska Grown produce, CHSR offers on-the-job training opportunities for high school students in Alaska FFA chapters and students in post-secondary degree programs at UAF. A small test greenhouse, built in 2004, has been operating year round and
