Growing Peonies in the Alaska Bush

Season 8 Episode 15 | 4m 5s

Paula and Mike live off the grid where they grow peonies and ship them around Alaska.

26 years ago, Paula and Mike packed up and moved their family out to the Alaska Bush. Their homestead has now blossomed into a thriving Peony Farm. Commonly known as the wedding flower, peonies are a beloved symbol of summer for many Alaskans. While growing flowers off-the-grid presents unique challenges, Mike and Paula can't imagine a life anywhere else.
