 Our Farm

Established in 2020 by the Native Village of Afognak and Tangirnaq Native Village, the name is derived from the Alutiiq word Mal'uk, meaning two. These two Kodiak-based Tribes unified their efforts to support the development of food security in Kodiak during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mal’uk Farms was formed with support from Suupet Neregkwarluki, We Are Feeding Our People, the Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute’s (KALI) three-year project funded through the Administration for Native Americans.  The collective goal of the project was to establish year-round hydroponic production throughout the region.

At present, Mal'uk Farms is solely owned and operated by Native Village of Afognak and remains the only tribally owned farm on Kodiak's road system. The farm’s priority is providing fresh foods to Tribal Elders while offering a local food source to community residents.​

The farm is located right in the heart of the City of Kodiak using a hydroponics growing technique called Nutrient Film Technique (NFT). With an NFT system inside a controlled growing environment, Mal'uk Farms can produce and harvest fresh food year-round! The farm is currently operating two hydroponic cabinets and a Container Growing System or CGS, that can grow up to 20,000 heads of produce a year!
