Magpie mini-farm & nursery

Welcome. Magpie is an eclectic mix. It's an attempt at gathering my interests to create an unique business that hopefully can fill a niche in my community.

At Magpie mini-farm stands you’ll find locally-grown garden starts in the spring, fresh produce and flowers grown with organic methods, throughout summer, and during the cold, dark months, there’s a migration to indoor creative endeavors and hand-crafted items inspired by the natural world. Thanks for stopping by.

Sunday night update: last night of moth week. Judging from the last couple of nights, moth visitation has been best after complete darkness (around 11pm). I’ve added a few photos from previous nights below.

Magpie mini-farm will be celebrating Moth Week again this year, starting this Thursday evening at twilight (10pm-ish)! It looks like we may be the only registered public event in Alaska this year, so we hope to be able to contribute some moth sighting info for our region. We’ll have UV lights and sugaring attraction stations set up, and some infographics about moths. And as luck would have it, some favored garden flowers are currently in bloom at the mini farm for the nectar-seeking moths.

Everyone* is welcome to come learn about moths and how some help the mini farm, and to check out what moths might show up. (*young children should be accompanied by an adult, please no dogs or smoking inside the farm). Format is casual, and self-guided.

Very small pop up farm stand today, July 3rd (while we await our main fruit crops)
Corner of 12th & Main
5:30-7pm (or until sold out)

July 4th Bouquets (mixed assortment of peony, ranunculus, anemone, tulips, etc.)
Radish
Romaine lettuce

Plus we’re trialing a new offering:
Remembrance Planters (designed for gravesites — a heavenly mix of silver, white, and blue flowers). Purchase just the planter or add caretaking (watering & deadheading until end of September). These could also be used for July 4th. We still have some separate red salvia plants if anyone is in need of bright red flowers.

06/14/2026

3:40 update: just about sold out and it’s raining harder so closing down the stand. There is 1 July 4th basket left, a couple of mint & basil plants, and 1 hardy rose bush left— please message if interested. Thanks again for shopping locally grown!
