We're Tim and Becky Hammond, owners of White Fireweed Farm. We were married in 1995 in Fairbanks, Alaska and moved to our current property in 2000. When we walked the land we found rare white fireweed growing here so the farm name was decided. Portions of the acreage were cleared and planted to brome hay at the time, but beyond that we started from scratch. We quickly threw up a cabin, got power and fuel oil connected, then winter was here. From there we gradually grew into the farm we have today.
